Cruises, Lingnan passes and the Hakka

This month we bring you news of the new Octopus - Lingnan pass tie up - a stored value card that is valid in Hong Kong and Guangzhou and 15 Guangdong cities in between. Very useful for the cosmopolitan, cross border traveller.

Speaking of cross border travellers we've also profiled the Hakka; a group of people with a distinct culture, cuisine and language. Their culture is very much alive in Hong Kong and well worth exploring.

For those who've had enough of the city we've pulled together some top tips on Hong Kong cruises and a guide to the Hong Kong cruise terminal for those heading the other way.

Finally, with the football season around the corner we've got a guide to Hong Kong sports, including profiles of the city's major sporting events.
