Oct. 15 Taipei to Hong Kong on Japan Asia Airways 201 6:10 - 7:55 p.m.
Oct. 15-24 in HONG KONG
Since July 1997, Hong Kong has been adjusting to its new status as a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.  Under the "one nation, two systems" policy, Hong Kong still functions as one of the world's major capitalistic trade, financial and industrial centers.  This cosmopolitan city of over six million people has one of the most beautiful urban settings in the world.  We will take field trips through the harbor (the world's busiest container port) and public housing estates which house almost 50 percent of the city's population and are considered by some a model for high density living.  Our accommodations at the YWCA Guest House provide good access to most sections of the S.A.R.
