Day 2: Hong Kong, China. Departure time: 19:00. The Chinese island of Hong Kong (in Chinese "Xiang Gang") has been part of the Chinese Special Administrative Region since July 1, 1997, along with Lantau Island and the Kowloon Peninsula. "Hong Kong proper" forms the settlement core of the island group with over 4 million inhabitants. The city is one of the world`s largest financial centers and serves as a hub for maritime traffic in the region. Attractions include floating restaurants at the harbor, the horse racing track "Tai Po," the beaches at "Castle Peak," the "Man Mo Temple," the bell tower at the tip of the Kowloon Peninsula, which serves as a viewpoint of the city`s skyline; the 800-meter-long escalator on Hong Kong Island (the longest in the world), the "Tiger Balm Garden" with caves and statues from Chinese myths, the "Victoria Peak" with a view of the harbor and the city. Additionally, there are numerous restaurants and shops here.
Day 3: Sea day.
Day 4: Keelung (Taipei), Taiwan. Arrival time: 07:00. Departure time: 18:00. Duration of port stay: 11 hours. Keelung is a harbor city in northern Taiwan. One of the attractions in Keelung is the statue of Kuan Yin, the goddess of mercy, on the hilltop. The northeastern coastal road leads through the foothills of the central mountain range, offering a breathtaking view of the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Fascinating art treasures at the National Palace Museum and the impressive Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall are worth a visit.
Day 5 - 6: Sea day.
Day 7: Busan, South Korea. Arrival time: 07:00. Departure time: 19:00. Duration of port stay: 12 hours. The name of the million metropolis Busan means "Teakettle Mountain" and refers to the city`s location, surrounded by mountains on three sides. In front of the harbor, the "Dragon Head Island" stands out. From the platform of Busan Tower, or the small restaurant in the tower, you have a good panoramic view. At the foot of the tower, there is a labyrinth-like maze of small alleys of the Kukje Market. The traditional Chagalchi Fish Market is Korea`s liveliest market, offering fresh seafood and fish specialties. Taejongdae offers a magnificent view of the East Sea, with a beautifully located bizarre rock formation with a large plateau. The "Pokchon-dong" City Museum showcases the history of Busan from the 4th century. Other attractions include the Pomo(sa) Temple, the Kumjongsansong fortress on Mount Kumjong, the Kumgang Park with a cable car and old trees.
Day 8: Nagasaki (Kyushu), Japan. Arrival time: 08:00. Departure time: 18:00. Duration of port stay: 10 hours. Nagasaki is the only city in Japan with European influence, as only a few settlements were allowed here during the country`s 300 years of isolation. The city is located at the end of a bay between mountain ranges, offering a beautiful view of the city, the nearby islands, and the sea. Getting around the city and visiting the sights is easy with the old trams. Nagasaki is a bustling and colorful city, but its tragic past as the second target of an atomic bomb overshadowed its fascinating early history of encounters with the Portuguese and Dutch. Urakami, the center of the atomic explosion, is now a prosperous and quiet suburb. Here, you can find the haunting Atomic Bomb Museum, a powerful reminder of the horrors of nuclear destruction, and the Hypocentre Park with a black stone column marking the exact point where the bomb exploded, as well as remnants and ruins. A bell at the turtle-shaped Zen temple Fukusai-ji tolls every day at 11:02 am, the time of the explosion.
Day 9: Kagoshima (Kyushu), Japan. Arrival time: 08:00. Departure time: 19:00. Duration of port stay: 11 hours. Kagoshima is the capital of the prefecture on the Japanese island of Kyushu. Kagoshima is the southernmost major city in Japan, which not only has a tropical warm climate but also offers a relaxed, southern European atmosphere despite all its modernity. Across from the city, the rough backdrop of the over thousand meter high volcano Sakurajima rises on the peninsula in the sea. Smoke constantly rises from its jagged crater. The memory of the Jesuits is highly valued in Kagoshima through many monuments, as they enabled Japan`s first true contact with the West in the 16th century. Worth seeing are some museums, such as the new prefectural museum, which was built on the site of the old castle. A wide range of national topics are shown there.
Day 10: Sea day.
Day 11: Shanghai, China. Arrival time: 08:00. Shanghai, the largest city in China with 14 million inhabitants, is a unique shopping paradise and is also called the New York of the East. The metropolis is a trading port, industrial center, and cultural city at the same time. Over a thousand restaurants offer dishes from 16 Chinese regions as well as international cuisine. A long row of classical high-rise buildings gives Shanghai its characteristic cityscape. In the Old Street, you can find buildings in the style of the Ming and Qing dynasties. The tallest TV tower in Asia, the "Pearl of the East," measuring 468 m, is equipped with an elevator which takes tourists to the observation deck and offers a unique view of the city. Other attractions include the Chinese Garden with a tea house, the zoo, the Jade Buddha Temple, the Nanjing shopping street, and the Longhua Temple.
