17NOV23 - IAGVA 7 Years FROM EAST TO WEST

IAGVA 7 Years FROM EAST TO WEST - 17th November

Hong Kong a big, popular city with an intoxicating mix of Chinese and English cultures as well as the old and ultra-modern.

This makes Hong Kong easy to explore, as there’s lots of English around, and makes the city feel weirdly familiar even if you’ve never been there before.

Despite the English influence, Hong Kong is decidedly Asian at the same time and the locals are proud of their unique heritage.

So join us as we fly back to England on one of our most flown route within the VA.
