Hong Kong is an incredible place and offers so much to all genres of travellers. All travellers don't have the same needs, and they vary in what they expect out of their holiday destination. Depending on that, there are several areas you might like to check out when in Hong Kong. Here is a list of the best places you can stay in when in Hong Kong.
Central Hong Kong is considered a place of commerce and it really is a financial hub. Having said that, it is also a popular place to stay in offering some attractive options. The central is located close to Victoria Peak and Lan Kwai Fong which are two popular areas that attract hordes of tourists every year. Victoria Peak is the go-to place for some exceptional views and Lan Kwai Fong for some drinks and clubs. Other places you can check out while staying in the central include the Man Mo Temple, International Finance Centre and the Mid-Levels Escalators.
The Mongkok is another region you can stay in when in Hong Kong. This is largely a residential area and finding decent places to stay in is quite easy, really. On the upper hand, from Mongkok, you can easily walk to the Temple street market to get your shopping done. Even if you aren't going to shop, it is still a good place to check out for local culture and their lifestyle. Another place which is located only a walking distance away is the famous Langham Place. The Langham Place is known for its perfect mix of the old and the new parts of the city. If you are looking for hotels in Mongkok, properties such as_ Dorsett Mongkok_ which offer modern facilities are available here.
Tsim Sha Tsui is located in downtown Kowloon which is actually the mainland of beautiful Hong Kong. As the name is a tongue twister, people commonly refer to it as the TST and it is also a popular place that entertains tourists. The major pro of this place is its close proximity to the Victoria Harbour. The Harbour is famous for the spectacular views of the city's skyline. Do not miss out on the Avenue of Stars located here. This is actually the Asian version of the well know Hollywood Walk of Fame. Other places to check out would be the Nathan Road which is known for its collection of restaurants and shopping complexes.
The Wan Chai area, like the central, is a region of commerce and finance. But that does not mean you can't stay in here. The places offer some great shopping and are a must to check out for the shoppers this vacation. Another noteworthy attraction to check out here in Wan Chai is the Golden Bauhinia Square. The Square is right outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre. On top of that, you can get to anyplace quite quickly from Wan Chai, if you choose to use Hong Kong's metro.
