Nowhere else in Malaysia is like this city. Nowhere else in the country will you find skyscrapers piercing the clouds, or such large Chinatowns and Little Indias, or temples in such abundance.

Hong Kong
One of the most densely populated areas on earth, there's only one way buildings can grow in this city: up. And up, and up to produce some of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. But keep your feet on the ground and you'll discover more than shiny glass and bright lights. Pagodas, forts and temples dating back several hundred years provide welcome respite from the buzz and clamour of the busy streets outside. Emirates flights from the UK take around 14 hours via Dubai.
