Giant Buddha / Po Lin Monastery No trip to Hong Kong would be complete without a visit to the world's tallest, outdoor, seated bronze Buddha which sits serenely atop Ngong Ping plateau amid the spectacular mountain scenery of Lantau Island. The eyes, lips, incline of the head and ... Hong Kong Pink Dolphin Watching Cruise Join this Hong Kong cruise to witness the world's pinkest dolphins at play! Be amazed - these dolphins, found between Hong Kong and Macau, are pinker than the Boto dolphins in the Amazon River in South America and live within a few kilometers of ... Hong Kong Island Hong Kong Island is the glitzy big brother of Kowloon - a tightly packed,
towering paean to market capitalism that hasn't been dented one jot by
Chinese rule. The bustle of people living and working is the biggest
attraction on the island, although many visitors head around to Aberdeen, on
the southern side of the island, where 6000 people live or work on junks
anchored in the harbour. Sampan tours of the Aberdeen Harbour are definitely
worth the expense. The other major draw is the floating restaurants.The most popular beach is Repulse Bay, also on the southern side of the island, but it gets extremely crowded on weekends. Stanley, with its laid-back atmosphere, is another good spot for escaping Hong Kong's hustle and bustle, although it is the hustle and bustle that brings people here in the first place - if you want real solitude, you've come to the wrong place. City attractions include the Central Market, which visitors will have no trouble finding (just sniff the air), the old Man Mo Temple and the Zoological & Botanic Gardens. Hong Kong Island is steep, so if your'e heading away from the harbour, do as the locals do and ride the 800m (870 yards) outdoor escalator Kowloon Tsim Sha Tsui, at the tip of the Kowloon Peninsula, is the territory's
tourist ghetto. It consists of one sq km of shops, restaurants, pubs,
topless bars and camera stores. However, Kowloon is also home to the Hong
Kong Cultural Centre, the Space Museum, the famous Peninsula Hotel and the
Museum of History.The Promenade, in East Tsim Sha Tsui, is a great place for a stroll, and has wonderful views of Victoria Harbour, particularly at night. The liveliest night market in the territory is on Temple St in Yau Ma Tei. |

Ocean Park Hong Kong Ocean
Park Hong Kong is one of the most spectacular oceanariums in the world with
the largest marine theatre. It is also an amusement park perched around two
mountain peaks, with an area of 870,000 square meters. A breath-taking
8-minute ride by cable car to the headland gives a glorious view of Repulse
Bay, Deep Water Bay, Aberdeen and the South China Sea. Sealions, dolphins,
sharks, penguins and killer whales are housed in stimulated environments
similar to their natural habitat and will show off their spectacular tricks
to thrill you at the Ocean Theatre. Also an excellent opportunity to see its
two most popular guests – giant pandas An An and Jia Jia.
The park also offers a full range of hair raising rides:
Travel down the mountain by the world’s second longest outdoor mountain-climbing escalator and transfer to the hotel. |

Victoria Peak If you're in Hong Kong, you'd be mad to miss a trip to the top of
Victoria Peak, 552m (1810ft) above sea level. The views are giddyingly
beautiful in every direction, with the vista of the business district,
Victoria Harbour and Kowloon especially grand. In true Hong Kong style the
main viewing deck is on the roof of a large shopping mall.
Join the throng of snap-happy tourists - you won't be disappointed. If you have time, it's worth making the trip to the top both in daylight (ideal to get your bearings) and at night, when the mass of lights around the harbour will take your breath away and make you wish you had a better camera. The actual peak is a ten-minute walk west and up. |
