Hong Kong is one of the greatest maritime cities there has
ever been—noisy, boisterous, cluttered, and vibrant. I left
Hong Kong in the royal yacht Britannia in the early hours of
the morning on July 1, 1997. It was quite a way to go! But
then, the British Empire can only end once. —Christopher
Patten, former governor of Hong Kong
Explore Hong Kong with Jan Morris, renowned author of Among
the Cities, in the October 1999 issue of TRAVELER.
