There are so many new experiences one can be a part of when in Hong Kong which offers memories to cherish for a lifetime. Here is a list of the must-do things you shouldn't miss out on.
No one can deny that the hike at Victoria Peak is one of the best experiences one can have in Hong Kong. The views from here of Kowloon and its surrounding islands are breath-taking! To get to the top, you can take the Peak Tram, which has been operating since 1888. Besides, if you're looking for a serviced apartment in Hong Kong, you can check out properties like Citadines Ashley Hong Kong, for a start.
The skyline of Hong Kong is widely spoken about all around the world. There are many ways to have the best view of the cityscape. The traditional junk boat deserves some attention. You can take out these boats and do a harbour tour while witnessing the famous skyline! Besides, there are only a few of these iconic boats left now.
The Dim Sum is a must-try, which are bite-sized snack served with hot tea. Head to one of the traditional teahouses and order a plate of the famous dim sum.
Hong Kong might be known as a concrete jungle. Having said that, there is a whole other side to it. One that involved mountains, beaches and lakes. One of the places to show off this side of Hong Kong is the Sai Kung Peninsula. You can have a fine time out here surrounded by epic scenic views.
When in Asia, visiting the magnificent ancient temples is on everyone's itinerary. Hong Kong is also a place that boasts of fine temple architecture one can marvel at. One of the iconic temples here is the Tin Hau Temple.
Having witnessed the tall skyscrapers, one can forget that Hong Kong is also surrounded by beaches and deep blue waters. There are many white sandy beaches stretched out across the shores of Hong Kong. One popular beach here is the Pui O Beach located on Lantau Island.
An integral component of ancient Chinese medicine is foot massages. This is the reason you'll find massage parlours pretty much everywhere you go. Prices can vary and depends on the type of massage you would like to have. It can be as low as $15 or as high as $150. A relaxing foot massage is all you'll crave for, after a busy day exploring the city.
Set aside a day out of your itinerary for the experience of a lifetime. You need to head out and visit any island out of the two hundred sixty outlying islands, here in Hong Kong. These are, in fact, fishing villages that do not resemble the busy cityscape in any way or manner.
