HONG KONG – The City that Never Sleeps

HONG KONG – The City that Never Sleeps


1.     Victoria Peak




     Victoria Peak is a mountain, known as Mount Austin but locally as the Peak, in the western half of Hong Kong Island. That view is also what makes The Peak one of the most popular attractions in Hong Kong. By day your eyes stretch across sparkling skyscrapers and Victoria Harbor all the way to the green hills of the New Territories. Looking down at the city from this famous vantage point, you'll see one of the finest harbors on Earth and a skyline so improbable, audacious and lofty that Manhattan's looks provincial by comparison. You can reach the peak via the Peak Tram, the 120-year-old funicular railway that departs from its terminus on Garden Road.

2. Ladies Market





The Ladies Market is located in the Kowloon side in the overcrowded district of Mongkok, although quite frequented by tourists, this has a very "local" atmosphere in what used to be known as the heartland of the Hong Kong triad gangs. The Ladies Market Hong Kong is one of the most popular markets for inexpensive bargain-priced clothes and accessories, and despite its name, it is not only for the ladies, here you will find a wide variety of men's clothing, and just about all kinds of merchandise including small household items, electronic gadgets and toys. It gets its name from the huge amount of clothing and accessories on sale for women of all ages.

3. Tsim Dha Tsui Promenade





Hong Kong Island is one of the finest city skylines in the world, and the promenade is a lovely place to stroll around during the day, but during the nightly Symphony of Lights, a spectacular sound-and-light show involving 44 buildings on the Hong Kong Island skyline. Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade has a total length of about 1.7 kilometers and it is built parallel to Salisbury Road.

4. Avenue of Stars





The Avenue of Stars, modelled on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, is located along the Victoria Harbor waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. It honors celebrities of the Hong Kong film industry. Thanks to the efforts of Hong Kong’s movie industry over the past century, many in Asia and farther afield are familiar with the city’s sights before they’ve even set foot here. The Avenue of Stars pays tribute to the names that helped make Hong Kong the ‘Hollywood of the East’.

5. Lan Kwai Fong




Lan Kwai Fong, located in central of Hong Kong, is one of Hong Kong’s most popular nightlife hot spots. The atmosphere ranges from stylish wine pairings to raucous jelly shots and the food on offer is as diverse as the clientele. Lan Kwai Fong is dominated by white collar workers and foreigners. The best time to view its energy is on Friday and Saturday nights, when it is most crowded with people looking for entertainment.
