At first glance, Hong Kong can be overwhelming. The streets are packed and teeming with brightly lit neon signs that flash at you at every turn. For first time visitors, the steam-filled boutiques, the luscious smell of food from vendors and the bright colours could be a sensory overload. However, once you start exploring Hong Kong, it truly becomes a place to delight in. Apart from the city being very safe, you will find that the streets are quite well organized, with ease of access to many places. Hong Kong is made up of small moments of perfection, whether it is found while you enjoy a steaming bowl of noodles or watching the sunset over the panoramic harbour. Its history is rich and is tied exclusively with mainland China and the Chinese influence over cuisine and culture is still very evident despite Hong Kong having moved to modern ways. Despite the simple and rustic ways of Hong Kong society, it is a cultural hub for trading and commerce and over the last several decades has developed quite a reputation for gem and jewellery exchange. It is ranked as one of the top four exporters of high quality, fine jewellery and lives up to this name every year by hosting the Hong Kong Jewellery and Gem Fair in Wan Chai. This event is the world’s second largest jewellery fair, both in proportions and in space and is home to a wide range of high quality jewellery, gemstones and time pieces. The exhibits glitter beautifully with the most precious gems from all corners of the globe, from antique jewellery, contemporary pieces and priceless watches and clocks. The fair exhibits under several categories, some of these being fine jewellery, antique jewellery, silver jewellery, pearl jewellery, semi-precious stones, jewellery tools, watches and clocks. The event is a five day affair and hosts world renowned brand names such as Harry Winston, Cartier and Bulgari. The fair is split into different halls. There is a ‘Hall of Fame’ which showcases world standard brand name jewellery, a ‘Hall of Jade’ for jade jewellery and a ‘Hall of Time’ for watches, clocks and other time pieces. The fair also hosts seminars on the latest trends and provides information about jewellery and gems and issues faced by buyers and sellers, while also offering insight about the industry. The Hong Kong Jewellery and Gem Fair has a 28 year track record of excellence and has been a platform for jewellers, traders and connoisseurs to meet and interact. With its branded collections and fabulous jewels, this fair is truly one of a kind and provides a genuinely unique experience. If you are in town for this remarkable event, food and accommodation would be an obvious concern. A Hong Kong restaurant that serves continental as well as local cuisine is vital, in addition to having well placed hotel accommodation with good service. For an exceptional luxury hotel in Hong Kong with excellent service and dining, you need not look any further than The Langham Hong Kong, a hotel reputed for its ambience, comfort and hospitality.
