For those wanting a holiday spot with a good array of variety, Hong Kong is the perfect choice. There are plenty of things to do in Hong Kong, ranging from the stress-free and glamorous to the amazing, tiring and even rowdy. As a megalopolis city, Hong Kong does not lack any luxury establishments for you to pamper yourself in. Visit the many spas, glamorous nightclubs and high-end restaurants for a taste of the exuberant. For those more on a budget, Hong Kong also offers viable options. There are street-food aplenty, cheap (and some even free) attractions to see and many more.
Here are but a few suggestions for the first-time Hong Kong visitors. Those wanting a good night out can head towards Happy Valley Race Course for some fun and experiencing the excitement of horse racing. Lan Kwai Fong, not far from there, is an area popular with the expatriates as well as the hip and young crowd, while Stanley Town offers a more laid-back, down-to-earth atmosphere to enjoy your drink. Temple Street plays host to an array of fortune-tellers, from tarot readers, palm readers to face reading. Take the Peak Tram and head up-top towards the Victoria Peak to enjoy a amazing view of Hong Kong and its metropolitan nightscape. You can also visit the Giant Buddha statue at Lantau Island and explore its surrounding hiking trails. On the way there, enjoy a 30 minute cable car ride on the Ngong Ping 360. Finally, don’t forget to take the ferry across towards Kowloon at 7.30pm, the perfect timing to enjoy the daily laser light show from the best possible seat. As a final advice, be sure to keep an open mind and enjoy your travel in Hong Kong!
