Here on &#8220;Travellogs&#8221; we visited Singpore and a trip to Asia would not be complete without a trip to Hong Kong.  Why not combine the two?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across its 263 islands not only does East meet West in terms of culture, but those islands provide mountains with their natural beauty in contrast with the man made beauty of its skyscraper skyline.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"706\" height=\"494\" src=\"https:\/\/travellogs.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/SHP-LCN-CWB-0002_LR.jpg\" alt=\"Market - Jardine's Crescent\" class=\"wp-image-303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travellogs.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/SHP-LCN-CWB-0002_LR.jpg 706w, https:\/\/travellogs.co.uk\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/SHP-LCN-CWB-0002_LR-300x210.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 706px) 100vw, 706px\" \/><figcaption>Market &#8211; Jardine&#8217;s Crescent<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Part of the fancination with Hong Kong is the opportunity to shop till you drop.

An excellent starting place is the Hong Kong Museum of History which is located next to the Hong Kong Science Museum.
