Kong Island covers only 7% of the total surface
of the territory but it is 7% well used : stock exchange,
beaches, tourists or vegetables markets, temples, walking trails, horse race
track, tram, old streets, attraction parks,... It got it all ! The
only thing it lack is a choice of real budget accommodations. Nothing is
perfect...
