Most families fly through Hong Kong and never stop long enough to see what it actually offers. We did the opposite — a week with two kids, starting at Hong Kong Disneyland and finishing with four days exploring Kowloon and beyond. Here's what we found, and why it's earned a place on our list of favourite family destinations in Asia.

Our kids had never seen snow. Two weeks, two hire cars and one South Island road trip later, New Zealand in July had completely blown us all away. From the ski fields of Queenstown to a fogbow on the road to Mount Cook - this is the South Island winter road trip your family needs to do.
