I just recently had my first travels to Hong Kong and I must say that the thing that struck me most was the nervously furious pace of the city. I live very close to New York City and definitely found the pace in Hong Kong to be "faster" than Manhattan. I will say that Hong Kong did have some, well let's just say "interesting" smells. Wow. (Not that Manhattan can't come up with a few doozies of its own!)

Cheung Chau was interesting, and I liked that there is no motorized traffic there. Lantau was perhaps a little better, as the development hasn't hit it as hard as other places I saw.

I would say stear clear of Repulse Bay, as it was far too crowded.

However, the view from Victoria Peak was something to see, and in some small way reminded me of views of San Francisco.

I'd love to hear other people's impressions of Hong Kong.
