HONG KONG OLYMPIC GAMES PROGRAM August 12 - 22 2008 Hong Kong Equestrian Events Hong Kong was delighted to be selected to co-host the Equestrian events of the 2008 Olympic Games. Hong Kong has pledged to provide world class facilities for the Olympic Equestrian events.
With its captivating mix of East and West, old and new, Hong Kong is a must for any Asian itinerary. Known by shoppers from around the world, Hong Kong is truly a bargain hunter's paradise, offering everything from traditional handicrafts to the latest in electronics. More than just a shopping mecca, Hong Kong offers natural beauty, electrifying nightlife and superb dining. While Hong Kong's bustling harbor and towering skyscrapers may be its most familiar images, Buddhist monasteries and English afternoon tea are equally important to its identity. Here Chinese tradition is right at home with the 21st century. The ancient discipline of feng shui influences the famous skyline, and some of the modern buildings even feature portals carved out to allow mythical dragons a clear path to the sea for their morning bath. Traces if the British Empire linger in architecture and everyday events. English is widely spoken, and along with Cantonese, is one of Hong Kong's official languages.
