5 Best Things to Do in Hong Kong
Here are 6
places in Hong Kong that you must see. Included are the obvious, like the
world's greatest skyline and some of the most raucous markets around but also
the overlooked, like the ancient walled villages.
1. The
Skyline
Hong Kong’s
signature attraction; the crowd of skyscrapers arched around the waters of
Victoria Harbour on Hong Kong Island are a jaw dropping scene. There are more
skyscrapers on this scrap of land than anywhere else in the world. It's worth
making time to see the skyline both in the day, from Victoria Peak, and at
night, when it plays host to the Symphony of
Lights laser and light show.
2. The Markets
Hong Kong might
have major supermarkets in every mall and 7-Elevens on every corner, but this
is a city that still thrives on market shopping. From fish freshly hooked out
of the deep blue sea to fake, imitation Gucci bags, Hong Kong has a market for
everything—even goldfish. Try one of the tourist markets to pick up some local
souvenirs for a pocketful of pennies or brave a wet market to see where the
locals do their daily shopping.
3.
A Walled Village
Yes, Hong Kong
does have a history. It might seem like the territories past only stretches
back to the days of opium boxes, warships, and Britain, but some of Hong Kong’s
villages are over 500 years old. Much of their still heritage remains intact.
You'll find defensive walls, ancestral halls, and traditionally dressed
villagers.
4.
Lamma Island
A few days amidst
the crowds on Hong Kong Island can have you feeling like you need to lie down
in a dark room. Do the next best thing and go to Lamma Island. This rural
retreat offers jungle greenery, deserted beaches and ramshackle villages
stuffed with seafood restaurants. There are no cars on the island so be sure to
pack a good pair of legs if you want to go exploring.
5.
Hong Kong Disneyland
The only
Disneyland in the world built according to the rules of Feng Shui, the park
consists of four themed lands similar to other Disneyland parks: Main Street,
U.S.A, Fantasyland, Adventure Land and Tomorrow Land. The Park features daily
firework shows and has regular parades and even a live musical.
That's all for Chengdu for today. if you are interested in our topic about travel around the world please do not hesitate to follow us on twitter @ISYS_ECS for the further update. Thank you.
