Wealthy mainland Chinese have traditionally spent out on items such as designer clothes and fancy cars, but now an increasing number are turning their attention to something bigger: luxury yachts.
As Europe struggles with the on-going financial crisis, Western yacht manufacturers are looking East to a potentially lucrative market.

Junk- Red Sail Chinese boat, Hong Kong, China
Junk is a type of ancient Chinese sailing ship that is still in use today. Junks were used as seagoing vessels as early as the 2nd century AD and developed rapidly during the Song dynasty (960–1279). They evolved in the later dynasties, and were used throughout Asia for extensive ocean voyages. They were found, and in lesser numbers are still found, throughout South-East Asia and India, but primarily in China. Found more broadly today is a growing number of modern recreational junk-rigged sailboats. This Junk is taking tourists for a ride in Victoria harbour, on a raining night.

Ferry boat ride from Macau to Hong Kong, China via HydroFoil TurboJet travel video
Today's feature adventure travel video is of a ferry boat boat ride we took from Macau to Hong Kong, China via HydroFoil TurboJet.
I was excited to take Audrey on this particular HyrdroFoil ferry - a journey that I had completed several years ago when visiting Hong Kong and Macau. Growing up on Vancouver Island, I quite often took BC Ferries from either Nanaimo or Victoria to reach Vancouver. Thus, I've always associated ferries as a means of going somewhere exciting and new. A hydrofoil, is a foil which operates in water referring to a wing-like structure mounted on struts below the hull lifting the craft above the water during forward motion.

Once the watercraft has reached a decent cruising speed, the hydrofoil elements below the hull propel it right out of the water allowing the boat to increase its speed and fuel efficiency.
Taking TurboJet was literally the fastest boat I've ever been on reaching a top speed of 83 kilometers an hour.
Unfortunately the speed and constant swaying back and forth of the watercraft caused Audrey to feel sick to her stomach.
As a general cure all, we ordered some Korean Shin Ramyun noodles and orange juice as a remedy.
Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate as much as we would have liked as we experienced rain and fog for most of the journey; it cleared up slightly as we arrived in Hong Kong.
The journey itself was less than an hour; typically, we're used to half or full day excursions to get from one place to the next, so this was a welcome change.
We passed a lot of other vessels along the way - both large and small watercrafts - although the reduced visibility due to the weather meant we likely didn't spot as many as we would have had it been a sunny day.
Overall, the journey was pleasant and expedient, as we arrived in Hong Kong earlier than expected given that we were able to board one hour earlier going on standby.
Taking TurboJet is the best way to get from Macau to Hong Kong (or vice versa) given the frequency of departures, length of journey and overall cost.
Our economy tickets cost only $148 Hong Kong dollars (19.08) which we felt represented a very fair price.
One can just show up at the terminal and book a ticket on the spot (which should be no problem except for on weekend or holidays) or book in advance directly from the website - with the option of going on standby if you arrive earlier than your pre-purchased ticket:

HONG KONG: WORLD DRAGON BOAT RACING CHAMPIONSHIPS
Eng/Ger/Man/Nat
Nineteen teams from around the world have gathered in Hong Kong for the Second World Dragon Boat Racing Championships.
This year, a dose of excitement over Hong Kong's return to China was mixed in with the competitive spirit.
Beijing resumes sovereignty over the British territory on July 1.
Each vessel that races in Hong Kong's Second World Dragon Boat Championships seats 22 paddlers, one steersman and one drummer.
For approximately four minutes, the 22 oarsmen paddle furiously to the finish line with the help of a drummer to set the rowing pace.
The teams have come from as far as Sweden, South Africa and the U-S to compete in this Chinese sport.
Participants say there are many reasons to enter the competition.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Just the teamwork, the camaraderie. To get together with a bunch of people and work together to achieve a goal.
SUPER CAPTION: Andrew Kee, Australian dragon boat team
SOUNDBITE: (German)
I really like the fact that there is so much power in it and the feeling of togetherness. And, well, just that there is so much power in it.
SUPER CAPTION: Sylvia Paulisch, German dragon boat team
This year's race ceremonies opened with traditional rites performed by Taoist priests.
The rituals are supposed to give the boats speed and the teams strength and protection from the elements.
Candles and incense are lit while drums and horns play in the background.
The dragon boat races commemorate a tragic event in Chinese history.
2-thousand years ago, a well known statesman and poet, Qu Yuan, was falsely accused and convicted of treason.
To protest against the corrupt government, he threw himself into a river.
Fishermen raced their boats to try to save him.
He drowned, but in his memory the dragon boat races were born.
The racers' boats nose one other out in some close contests, but there is more to the day.
Some participants say this year the event marks an important moment in modern Chinese history.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I think it's just the case of maybe there's never going to be another chance to come here because of China taking over. It just seems really important to be here while Great Britain still rules the country.
SUPER CAPTION: Lin Griesel, British dragon boat team
SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin)
We are honoured to be racing for the last championship this year. It is very important. It is the last year to represent Hong Kong. Next year we might be representing China-Hong Kong.
SUPER CAPTION: Jerome Tuong, Hong Kong dragon boat staff
The next time the dragon boat championships are run in Hong Kong, they'll be racing under a Chinese flag.

HONG KONG: BOAT PEOPLE
English/Nat
A United Nations deadline has thrown into doubt the future of more than 20-thousand Vietnamese boat people detained in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong government admitted earlier this week that it can't meet the target to close the camps by 1996.
It is now facing a law suit for illegally detaining up to 400 Vietnamese boat people.
Almost 24-thousand Vietnamese boat people held in camps like this one in Hong Kong have been told they will not get refugee status.
The Hong Kong government has forcibly deported a number of the long stayers, but for the rest there are few countries who will take them.
Many of the Vietnamese refuse to go home voluntarily, leaving Hong Kong with the possibility of having thousands of illegal immigrants left in the colony when it's handed over to the Chinese in 1997.
It has also left the government with the job of trying to recover 123 (m) million US dollars from the United Nations relief agency U-N-H-C-R (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees).
Hong Kong says it's owed the money for housing the Vietnamese.
With the UN deadline to clear the camps, the Vietnamese are left in limbo.
SOUNDBITE:
We have an international dilemma. I think we have a human tragedy, we have people who have spent years in detention, who had children born in detention who've seen nothing but barbed wire and fences, who've never seen a cat or a dog or a tree or a cow, who've seen nothing but a prison.''
SUPER CAPTION: Jahanshah Assadi, Chief of Mission UNHCR
Many of the Vietnamese who have been given refugee status are now in open camps like this one.
But they have submitted to the pressure of refugee life and there is a major drug problem in this camp.
SOUNDBITE:
Heroin, most of it's heroin, yes, but it's not just limited to drug taking, people have been selling or buying, so it's a question also of some minor criminal offences, some major criminal offences.''
SUPER CAPTION: Jahanshah Assadi, Chief of Mission UNHCR
The U-N-H-C-R is now conducting detoxification programmes to try to make the Vietnamese suitable candidates for resettlement.
On top of these problems, a local group called Refugee Concern is threatening legal action against the Hong Kong government on behalf of 400 of the Vietnamese who have been rejected by Hanoi, but are still in detention.
The government this week released just over 100 of the Vietnamese and placed them in the open camp at Pillar Point.
SOUNDBITE:
They have in genuine cases, these people have been illegally detained by the Hong Kong government while they are working on their resettlement, so I think by releasing them, the Hong Kong government have admitted that these cases are valid and they should be released.
SUPER CAPTION: Anthony T. O Leung, Refugee Concern.
The Hong Kong government now has to race against two clocks, one set by the international community to close the camps and the other set by the handover of sovereignty to China in 1997.
Apart from trying to convince the Vietnamese to go home voluntarily, the only other choice is to send them back.
That is exactly what it plans to do next week when up to 100 Vietnamese will be forcibly deported.
