6 TIPS 

for your 

Hong Kong & 

China Holiday 

Food glorious food Hit the shops For the kid in all 

of us 

Glazed and syrup-coated, then hung 

dry and roasted, Chinese cuisine 

will have you salivating at the mere 

thought of it, but none more so than 

traditional Peking duck. Attracting 

an almost cult-following, it’s best 

enjoyed in Beijing - with lashings of 

sweet bean sauce. 

With a little nod to its British past, 

Hong Kong delivers one of the best 

high teas in Asia at the renowned 

Peninsula Hotel. Served daily in 

The Lobby, the food’s refined, the 

service faultless and the cream, 

well it’s Devonshire and clotted of 

course. 

Don’t leave China, mainland or 

otherwise, without eating your own 

weight in dumplings. Be sure to try 

Xiaolongbao in the Jiangnan region 

(and Shanghai especially) which 

are unbeatable. Steamed in small 

bamboo baskets they’re lightly 

‘soup-filled’, so you get a good dose 

of meat as well as jus. 

Put Hong Kong’s Temple Street 

Night Market on your wish list 

because it’s a magical mix of 

traders, talent and fortune tellers. 

Weave your way from vendors to 

opera singers, and endless festivity. 

For an eclectic mix of east meets 

west, Shanghai’s Xin Tian Di Street 

is a pedestrianised area replete 

with galleries, cafés, boutiques and 

restaurants. With original 1920s 

facades, traditional China meets the 

modern day, and because western 

influence is rife, expect to find 

big US chain stores amidst a niche 

choice of Chinese designers. 

If you can handle the crowds, 

Nanjing Road is Shanghai’s main 

shopping street. More than just a 

shopping district, there are parks, 

People’s Square, museums, art 

galleries and opera houses. At 6 

kilometres long, Nanjing Road is 

also the world’s longest shopping 

street - credit cards at the ready. 

Nothing in Hong Kong is done by 

halves, which is why the super kidfriendly 

Ocean Park is not solely an 

amusement park, but also a marine 

mammal enclosure, oceanarium 

and animal park. Boasting over 80 

attractions, there are interactive 

areas showcasing everything from 

the North Pole to historic Hong 

Kong. An impressive blend of 

entertainment and education. 

Hong Kong Zoo opened in 1871 and 

includes the city’s lush botanical 

gardens, located on the Northern 

slope of Victoria Peak. Admire an 

inner-city sanctuary framed by 

skyscrapers and then head to the 

playground and aviaries. 

As with Disneylands everywhere, 

kids and adults love them! Indulge 

in a whimsical holiday when you 

venture to Hong Kong Disneyland 

or Shanghai Disneyland, or make 

your mark at both… a Disney 

extravaganza! 

2

View from the top 

Is there any better backdrop than 

Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl and the 

World Financial Centre? Especially 

at night when the entire Lujiazui 

skyline sparkles like an enormous 

fairground. Make a beeline for the 

Bund’s Bar Rouge, with its large 

terrace overlooking the best of 

it, while the dazzling views from 

Hyatt’s VUE bar are only matched 

by an equally stunning décor. 

In Hong Kong you’ll want to enjoy 

incredible 360-degree views of 

Victoria Harbour from the 100th 

floor of Hong Kong’s tallest building 

- the International Commerce 

Centre (ICC). 

While in Shanghai, Jin Mau’s Cloud 

9 Bar, part of the Grand Hyatt 

Shanghai, is located on the 87th 

floor and is one of the highest bars 

in the world. Watch as the clouds 

pass before your eyes, and drinks. 

Explore the 

waterways 

Suzhou, a city west of Shanghai, is 

best known for its canals, bridges 

and seductive waterways. Dubbed 

the ‘Venice of China’, it’s defined by 

ornate gardens and Asian pagodas. 

Soak up The Grand Canal and stop 

for a fragrant tea beside the slow, 

sedate water. 

In Shanghai, the Huangpu River 

divides the city into two parts: Puxi 

to Pudong. You can get from one 

to the other via Shanghai’s century 

old ferry boats. The sweeping 

skyline views are breath-taking, 

and with over 40 ferry terminals 

fronting both sides of the river, it’s 

convenient too. 

Hong Kong’s Star Ferry is famous 

for shuttling passengers between 

Hong Kong Island and Kowloon 

for a super low fare. In operation 

since 1898, the prices have barely 

changed since. Come nightfall, 

board the Star Ferry for knockout 

views of Victoria Harbour. 

Hit the streets 

Hutongs are a type of alleyway 

typical to northern China, and 

particularly Beijing. They’re also the 

best way to experience ‘Old Beijing’ 

at its traditional best. A relic that 

time forgot, get lost in a China built 

centuries past, amongst crooked 

old houses and children chasing 

rickshaws down the street. 

From traditional Asia to a street 

influenced by a very western 

concept: Las Vegas, Macau’s Cotai 

Strip boasts multiple hotel-casinos 

all lining the Cotai section of Macau. 

As glitzy as its US cousin, the lights 

never go out here. 

And then there’s Hong Kong come 

nightfall. If you consider this city 

busy by day, it really revs it up a 

gear from dusk. There’s a distinct 

‘work-hard, play-hard’ ethic here, 

and tourists are fully encouraged 

to partake. Dine, dance or simply 

enjoy the raucous ambience, but 

sleep is not an option.

Experience 

Hong Kong 

Hong Kong is literally a living fusion of traditional Eastern and Western cultures. 

It’s fast paced with a dazzling array of high rise buildings, neon lights and billboards. 

Split into two by the harbour, Hong Kong has two main regions – Kowloon and Hong 

Kong Island. 

For such a compact island, Hong Kong Island carries plenty of punch as a holiday 

destination. With the many shopping options, restaurants and bars around the 

Central district and a journey to the Peak for a bird’s eye view of the island – and 

beyond. Venture to Stanley Markets, marvel over the temples at Aberdeen or dine 

on seafood at Repulse Bay. 

A tourist hot spot, Kowloon’s famous Nathan Road and its ‘Golden Mile’ are a 

magnet for bargain hunting shoppers and diners. Tsim Sha Tsui is one of Hong 

Kong’s major entertainment areas, popular both during the day and after dark. Visit 

the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Space Museum before venturing 

to the Peninsula for its world renowned High Tea. 

While she feels like a cosmopolitan city, under her contemporary exterior is a 

traditional Chinese lady at heart. Peer down from Victoria Peak, wind your way 

through the streets of Mongkok, bag a bargain at the markets, and without a doubt 

the harbour is the centrepiece, with its dazzling skyline and nightly ‘Symphony of 

the Lights’ fireworks and laser light extravaganza. 

4

Experience Hong Kong 

Our favourite things to see and do 

Catch the Tram up to the Peak – Enjoy the classic 

Hong Kong tradition and take in some of the best views 

across the city. In the funicular, try to sit on the right hand 

side for the best views on the way up. 

Harbour Light Show – Victoria Harbour is dazzling all 

on its own, but each night the city puts on a ‘Symphony 

of Lights’ which involves more than 40 buildings on both 

sides of the harbour. Recognised in the Guinness World 

Records as the world’s largest permanent light and sound 

show, there are laser beams and searchlights that perform 

an unforgettable light spectacle synchronised to music. 

Hullett House – Dine at the prized Loong Toh Yuen 

Cantonese restaurant. The highly acclaimed chef scours 

the markets for new tastes and ingredients, adding his own 

contemporary interpretation to Cantonese cuisine. 

Giant Buddha – No trip to Hong Kong would be complete 

without a visit to the Giant Buddha which sits serenely atop 

Ngong Ping plateau amid the spectacular mountain scenery 

of Lantau Island. Climb more than 200 steps or take the 

Ngong Ping 360 cableway from Tung Chung to the culturally 

themed village. 

Ladies’ Market – Featuring over 100 stalls of bargain 

clothing, accessories and souvenirs and stretching one 

kilometre. Be sure to practice your haggling skills to bag the 

best bargain. 

Lan Kwai Fong – One of Hong Kong’s most popular 

nightlife hot spots and home to over 90 restaurants and 

bars. Hosting carnivals and celebrations throughout the 

year, this area comes alive. 

Harbour Cruise – Victoria Harbour is Hong Kong’s heart, 

so to catch the real essence jump onboard a harbour cruise. 

From a hop on hop off tour, to sunset cruises, experience 

Hong Kong in the most unique way.

Experience 

China 

After being a world power centuries ago then closing their doors to outside 

influences, China has opened itself up again and is taking its place preening on the 

world stage. 

Diverse, exotic and mysterious, China is the world’s most populous country with a 

rich culture stretching back at least 4000 years. China is as unique as it is eclectic, 

from the hustle and bustle of huge cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, to the quiet 

introspection of the monasteries and temples. Even the cuisine varies dramatically 

from one province to another. 

While cities such as Beijing and Shanghai are certainly must-see destinations, you 

can only truly appreciate this huge nation if you explore the countryside and see 

the contrasts it has to offer. 

The once imperial capital of 11 dynasties, Xian, is a haven of archaeological 

wonders. It is home to the Terracotta Warriors, the famed life sized tomb guards of 

Emperor Qin Si Huang and the only city in China that still has its ancient city wall 

surrounding it. 

Its resurgence as an economic powerhouse has brought a new freedom and new 

opportunity for foreigners to explore this fascinating country. You can return time 

and time again and always find something new to fascinate you.

Experience China 


The Bund – The famous Shanghai waterfront, regarded as 

the symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years, is a celebration 

of China’s diversity. The most attractive sight on the west 

side are the 26 various buildings of different architectural 

styles including Gothic, Baroque, Romanesque, Classicism 

and Renaissance. Not what you’d expect in China. 

Giant Pandas – How can you resist the beautiful faces 

of China’s oldest inhabitants? These cuddly bears are the 

national emblem of China and their protection is a top 

priority for China. The Chengdu Panda Research Base is 

home to 80 pandas and set up to resemble their natural 

surroundings of their original home in north Sichuan. You 

can even cuddle a baby panda during your visit so don’t 

miss this highlight. 

The Great Wall of China – Stretching almost 9000 

kilometres long from the Gobi Desert in the west to the 

Bohai Sea in the east, this spectacular wall is one of China’s 

most famous attractions. Original construction began more 

than 2000 years ago to protect China from the nomad threat 

in the north, since then the Great Wall has been rebuilt and 

maintained and the majority of the existing wall is from the 

Ming Dynasty. The Wall is accessible from many different 

sections. Head to the Mutianyu or Juyongguan sections 

instead of Badaling as they are far less crowded. All three 

sections are in close proximity to Beijing. 

Li River – Connecting the two beautifully picturesque 

spots of Guilin and Yangshuo and lined with tranquil blue 

waters, natural landscapes and views to die for. Highlights 

along the river include Elephant Trunk Mountain, a hill 

that resembles an elephant drinking water from the river 

and Seven Star Park, covering more than 120 hectares and 

featuring seven peaks.

1.2 We undertake to perform these services with reasonable care and 

skill. We will not be liable for any loss or damage which results from the 

act, default or omission of any person other than ourselves, our employees 

or agents, or any cause independent of human control. This includes (but

civil disturbances, strikes, riots, deaths, pilferage, epidemics, quarantines

1.3 We are not able to exercise control over services we do not supply 

directly, therefore we will not be responsible for any loss or damage arising 

from:

or 

• Any services which are not directly provided by us and which are 

additional to those recorded in clause 1.1 above. 

1.4 We will endeavour to provide the most suitable travel arrangements 

to meet the particular requirements you make known to us. However, 

travel is an individual experience, and your preferences and opinions may 

vary from our own. For this reason, we cannot take responsibility for your 

individual satisfaction. 

2. SUPPLY OF TRAVEL, ENTERTAINMENT AND 

ACCOMMODATION SERVICES AND FACILITIES 

2.1 When we make bookings with Suppliers, we are acting as a booking 

agent for such Supplier. 

2.2 All travel, entertainment, and accommodation facilities or services 

are supplied directly to you by the Suppliers. We have no control over 

the facilities or services themselves, or the manner in which they are 

provided by the Suppliers. Therefore you should be aware of the following 

conditions: 

• We will not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind which may arise 

from your use or consumption of, or inability to use or consume those 

facilities or services. 

• The provision of those facilities or services is subject to the terms and 

conditions of your contract with each Supplier. 

• Where for any reason, a Supplier is unable to provide particular facilities 

or services, then that Supplier may be entitled, under its contract with 

you, to substitute those services or facilities with comparable or equivalent 

facilities or services without incurring any liability to you. You should check 

your contract with each Supplier. 

• All facilities or services described by us are subject to availability from 

the Supplier. 

• We will not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage relating to 

your baggage, personal possessions, health or welfare, or delays or travel 

disruptions unless these arise directly from the service we provide to you. 

3. BUSINESS PURPOSES 

You agree that where our services are acquired for business purposes, 

or where you hold yourself out as acquiring our services for business 

purposes, the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993 will not apply to any supply 

of goods or services made under these conditions, and we will not be liable 

or responsible for any loss or damage of any kind to you, including any 

consequential loss or damage however it may be caused.

correct, accurate, and up to date at the time of printing, the contents of this 

brochure are drawn from information supplied to us by Suppliers. We do 

not have, and cannot be reasonably expected to have, personal knowledge

endeavour to keep travel agents informed of any changes to information in 

this brochure which are brought to our attention. Prior to completing your 

booking, you should ask your travel agent whether they are aware of any 

changes to the published information. You should also make sure that if 

your travel agent is advised of changes which occur after booking, your 

travel agent is able to contact you. 

4.3 Maps and Photographs: Maps are shown for general information and 

may not necessarily reflect actual routings, locations or services provided. 

Photographs may show places in the geographic area which are not 

included in your booking. Hotel room photographs may not be the actual

drawn from information provided by our Suppliers. Any facilities or services 

shown are subject to change at any time. Please advise your travel agent

for specific bedding arrangements must be made at the time of booking 

but can not be guaranteed. For example, twin share may consist of single 

beds or a shared double bed. 

4.6 Rental Cars: We cannot guarantee to provide a particular model or 

colour within the car category. Availability of car categories is subject to 

confirmation at the time of booking. We reserve the right to substitute 

different models. If a vehicle is returned prior to the end of the reserved 

rental period or if the vehicle is picked up later than the reserved date, NO 

REFUND will be made for unused rental days 

5. PRICES 

5.1 The price indicator is provided as a guide only. It is based on low 

season, per adult share twin pricing and is correct at the time of printing. 

The actual price may differ to that indicated due to currency fluctuations, 

special events, trade shows or peak periods. 

5.2 We will guarantee the price of the portion of the booking as 

processed by us, against currency fluctuation for a period of seven (7) days 

from the time of confirmation of the booking; note: special conditions apply 

for cruise bookings. It is the responsibility of your travel agent to advise you 

of the date of confirmation. If your booking remains unpaid after the seven 

(7) day guarantee period it will be subject to currency fluctuation, up to the 

time full payment is received by us. 

5.3 Events beyond our control, such as changes to the prices of aviation 

fuel or changes to the cost of services or facilities may result in the prices 

charged to you being different from those shown in the brochure. You 

should check all prices with your travel agent before making reservations, 

and before ticketing. 

5.4 Prices may also be liable to variation between the time of booking 

and the date of departure due to events beyond our control. Due to 

unforeseen events we reserve the right to vary the price up to the time of 

your departure. 

6. HOUSE OF TRAVEL ACCOMMODATION RATINGS 

To assist you with the selection of your accommodation, we have created 

our own rating system allowing you to compare each property. Please 

note that these gradings are to be used as a guide only and may alter 

throughout the year due to a change of circumstances. Please check with 

your House of Travel consultant to ensure you get the property that best 

suits your needs.

in writing through your travel agent as soon as possible. 

8.2 If you cancel your booking or any part of your booking, we will 

impose a cancellation fee in respect of each person travelling under that 

booking. You must also pay all cancellation fees imposed by Suppliers and 

your travel agent. These cancellation fees are required to offset booking, 

communication, and administrative charges which have already been 

incurred by us, Suppliers and your travel agent. Cancellation fees imposed 

by Suppliers and travel agents are beyond our control and you should 

check with your travel agent regarding what cancellation fees may be 

applicable. 

8.3 We strongly recommend that you insure yourself fully against 

cancellation due to unforeseen circumstances. See Section 10. 

9. RESERVATION AMENDMENTS

amendment constitutes a change to an existing booking and will attract a 

$25 fee per amendment prior to final payment and the issuing of the travel 

documents, and a $50 fee per amendment after travel documents have 

been issued. These fees are to cover administration and communication 

costs. You may also be required to pay any Supplier imposed fees. 

10. INSURANCE 

We strongly recommend that you insure yourself fully against cancellation, 

loss of luggage and personal property, and medical expenses. Your travel 

agent will be able to provide you with further information.

insurance, sightseeing, transfers, local taxes, airport departure taxes, 

Airline imposed insurance levies, passenger service charges and Passport 

or Visa application fees are not included. 

12. VISAS/PASSPORTS 

For all holidays in this brochure you will require a valid passport. You are 

responsible for arranging your own passport, visa and health requirements 

including inoculation. You should check with your travel agent who will be 

able to provide you with the necessary information. 

13. NON-USE OF SERVICES OR FACILITIES 

If, of your own choice, you decide not to use part or parts of the arranged 

services or facilities, you will not be entitled to a refund from us (provided 

we have carried out our service with reasonable skill and care and to your 

requirements) and you may not be entitled to a refund from any Supplier. 

14. HEALTH OR DISABILITY 

Some Suppliers may reserve the right to refuse to carry or accommodate 

people who because of a health condition or disability may require services 

or facilities to be provided in a special manner. You should check this with 

your travel agent. 

15. SERVICE SATISFACTION 

During your holiday, if you encounter any situation where the service 

supplied to you does not meet your satisfaction, please take the matter 

up with the Supplier immediately. Your contract for each service is with the 

Supplier. If this is not possible immediately, or if you are still dissatisfied, 

please contact your travel agent. Both we and your travel agent will 

endeavour to investigate on your behalf and to negotiate with the Supplier 

to resolve the matter as soon as possible, so that you continue to enjoy 

your journey. 

16. LEGAL CLAIMS 

Any claims or legal action in connection with the provision of our services 

to you will be governed by the laws of New Zealand. Any claim or legal 

action against the Suppliers is likely to be subject to the terms of your 

contract with them, and may be governed by the laws of other countries.
