    In some of the more rural parts of the country ethnic minority groups can be found in large numbers. Many of the same tribes that are found in Laos, Cambodia and Thailand have also settled in Yunnan province and also in Guizhou and Guangxi.

The Peninsula

Hong Kong

The Peninsula is the 'Grande Dame' of Hong Kong, redolent with the atmosphere of its early colonial heyday. It remains one of Hong Kong’s greatest institutions, with its elegant interior updated with modern comforts by an extensive renovation in the 90’s.

The 300 guest bedrooms and suites have been decorated in period style, and there are extensive spa facilities, including a Romanesque swimming pool with a stunning view of the harbour.

Whether taking high tea in The Lobby or cocktails overlooking the harbour in glamorous Felix, the Peninsula adds magic to any stay in Hong Kong.
