Hong Kong is one of the busiest cities in the world – but there's so much more to Hong Kong than what meets the eye. If you ever get the opportunity to visit the splendid city of Hong Kong, here are a few suggestions to get you excited!
Hong Kong will come to your rescue, no matter your craving, mainly because the city is truly a melting pot of so many different cultures! The food scene in Hong Kong will not disappoint you, and if you're someone that enjoys exploring the street food in any given city or country – you're in luck! You'll keep wanting to return to Hong Kong simply because of the various gastronomic experiences the city has in store for everyone.
No trip is complete to Hong Kong without a visit to the peak – this is an absolute must! Victoria Peak is one of the most popular attractions in Hong Kong and for all the right reasons, the views are to die for! There are a number of lookout points at the peak such as the Sky Terrace, the free viewing platform in the Peak Galleria and Lion's Pavilion to the right of the Peak Tower. The ideal time to head over to the peal is when the day is at its clearest – just before sunset.
Doesn't a cruise in itself sound romantic? Imagine a sunset cruise, it's double the fun! The famous sunset cruises are a classic and they never get old. Experiencing a sunset cruise if apparently a must-do on the island! Your ticket usually also includes 1 alcoholic beverage, for a better experience.
There are plenty of rooftop bars in Hong Kong to choose from – and you're definitely not going to get sick of rooftop bar hopping. With a spectacular view surrounding you and a drink in your hand, you're going to feel like you're on top of the world (quite literally!).
To get the real feel of the island and local life there, you must wander out of your Hong Kong boutique hotel, the likes of Cosmo Hotel Wan Chai Hong Kong and check out first hand what it has to offer! There are plenty of great sights, parks, amazing street art pieces and cafes for you to check out. Google maps will come in handy when it is time to head back to your hotel!
If you want to get away from the ultra-tall buildings and the honking cars, an ideal escape would be the Hong Kong Park. This beautiful public space is in the very heart of Hong Kong and gives you space and fresh air that you need after a long day of exploring and shopping. As you stroll through the park and pass the lush green trees, streams and ponds you're going to feel at peace!
