One cannot possibly miss Beijing when living in Hong Kong! That cannot happen, and Beijing is seriously worth it! Book a few days and take off to China's capital city. Hong Kong Madame advises you the G Hotel, an absolute colorful gem! Just get in the street to understand. You will notice pretty quickly the hotel and its lite up windows with different colours.
This boutique-hotel is to die for. Far from luxury standards, it offers however an irreproachable service as well as comfort. Decoration happens to be one of the main strength of the place. A mixture of design, contemporary and Chinese culture which gives an outstanding atmosphere. The style remains chic but casual, sometimes inspired from the 60's, the whole sprinkled by elegance and voluptuousness. The rooms are big and cosy, and the decoration is as crazy as the lobby. Don't leave before trying the best Peking Duck which you will find at Shangri-La. A real wonder!
Although the city of Beijing has become modern, fashion and full of vitality, one can still feel the authentic side of the city. Just plan a day and go to The Great Wall of China. It is mind-blowing!
Going there: nonstop flight (approximately 3h30) with Cathay Pacific.
