If you want to start your China and your Chinese dating experience in a city that offers modern delights and cultural richness, set amidst gorgeous natural surroundings, and with much of the population speaking English, then pack your bags for Hong Kong. The Oriental Pearl, as it is also known by, is China's trading and financial center, and among the top commercial centers in the world. The people of Hong Kong are probably the most westernized in all of China, its women as modern and sophisticated as they come while still retaining a hint of Chinese charm.

Hong Kong is not only an international harbor but also serves as a major international aviation hub in Asia, and is the fourth busiest in the world; a foreign man on a quest for a Chinese life mate will definitely not feel out of place in this global crossroads, among people from all over the world coming and going and enjoying the natural and modern attractions that the city has to offer. Hong Kong also has a unique and harmonious blend of various foreign cultures and Chinese traditions; visitors are treated to an orchestra of various English accents and Chinese dialects and an environment brimming with a delightful mixture of British colonial influence and traditional Chinese customs, particularly the values of Confucianism. The women of China are, without a doubt, just as interestingly complex.

For intercity travel and for those traveling from the mainland, the city's trains are the most convenient mode of transportation, and also among the cheaper ones. Being a popular tourist destination, getting around by train is fairly easy, with signs and directions printed in English. Another common mode of transportation to and from the Mainland, as well as to and from any of the four islands of Hong Kong, is by water, with the city's numerous piers.

For intercity traveling, one can easily navigate the compact city riding the very modern Mass Transit Railway, buses, trams, taxis, and/or ferries. As when visiting any city for the first time, make sure to consult a route map first before heading to any destination; each mode of transportation also has their own fare and route system, so it is always best to familiarize oneself first with these and to learn the best way to get from point A to point B every time one sets out to explore the beauty of the city.

Whether you are traveling on your own or with your special Chinese lady, your Hong Kong experience will not be complete without visiting the city's top attractions.

Odditorium, and a variety of shops and restaurants on the terraces of the Peak.

Of course, a visit to any city in China will not be complete without seeing at least one Chinese temple. The most famous temple in Hong Kong is the ancient Wong Tai Sin Temple; you can also feel the weight of thousands of years of Chinese history and culture when you visit the Po Lin Monastery and the Man Mo Temple. For a taste of a more modern flavor, the city is also home to one of the world's premier and largest Ocean Parks, as well as a Disneyland Resort.

Being a major tourist destination, Hong Kong is also an international culinary center, offering the most famous cuisines from all over mainland China, as well as those from Italy, France, Germany, Mexico, and many other countries.
