[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been to both Singapore and to Hong Kong. Loved both. Your amount of time  seems good to me.

I like cities, too. In Bangkok, you can stay at a resort-like hotel. You get the city plus an amazing pool plus river cruise. I can check the hame of where we stayed. The temples were amazing and the Thompson House for silk was, too. Plus chair massages were about $4 8 years ago. In December, it was quite hot and humid.

Shanghai I also found fascinating. We stayed on the Bund and stared across the river at lit up buildings each night. I liked visiting the French concession and the place that sheltered Jews during WW2.

Have a great time![/quote]

Thank you so much.  I do love the idea of Shanghai and we'll definitely plan another trip to other parts of Asia.  That is unfortunately the problem with the continent - too much to see, too little time.

We do love cities. My son in particular is obsessed with public transport and just urban planning in general, so he is very interested in seeing how these cities are organized and how they integrate nature, modernity and ancient roots. [/quote]

There isn’t much in the way of ancient history in Hong Kong, but if you want to see mass transit and urban/nature it is a great case study.

Even though Hong Kong is one of the most densely populated places on earth the large majority of its area is undeveloped and it has some great hikes with stunning views that range from easy (level paved walking trails) to quite challenging.  Dragon’s back is probably the most famous…

Hong Kong in winter can be chilly, unlike Singapore where it is 95 degrees and 90 percent humidity every day. (Which makes winter hiking season, just remember you might need to pack warmer clothes.)
