Hong Kong / China (embarkation) / The most vertical city in the world, where you will find a third of the hundred tallest buildings on the planet, is actually an autonomous region that is officially part of China.

Visit Sky100, the observation deck on the hundredth floor of the International Commerce Centre, the tallest building in Hong Kong. Take a ride to Victoria Peak and enjoy the breathtaking views. And finally, recharge your energy at the Chi Lin Nunnery with its beautiful stone garden.
