If you are in a vacation, among so many cool places of China, you can name any reason of any city you plan to go. Whether it is Beijing, Shanghai, Xi'an or Guilin, there are a lot more to list on the top China travel destinations. With all these selections, there is one name always attracting the world's attention, not only for its long history and the profound culture, but also for its modern growth and its fashionable life style. The name of the magic city is Hongkong.
A General Look of Hong Kong
When many tourists firstly travel to Hongkong, they found themselves very impressed by the famous landmarks and history. In the Hongkong tour, you can have panoramic views of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the surrounding islands at the Victoria Peak. Through the Repulse Bay, the famous fishing village of Aberdeen could be the second destination. In the well-known Stanley Market, you can pick up bargains at just a fraction of the price in town. In Hongkong, the shopping paradise for all of us, you could also go to a prestigious jewelry factory. There are the best craftsmen for popular meticulous works of art from gold and gems.
Peak Tram Route& Victoria Peak
Peak Tram is like the most excited things in the world. Pulled by steel cables, the tram climbs 373 meters. It's so steep that the buildings you pass look like they're leaning at a 45° angle! Getting there is an unforgettable trip. Surely you'll love this experience. Looking down from the Victoria Peak, Peak you'll be amazed by the spectacular view of the world-famous Victoria Harbor and Kowloon, the surrounding city skyline, towering skyscrapers and peaceful green hillsides.
Good Food to Enjoy
Pineapple bread, the brown-yellow roasted of real pineapple; special shrimp har gow, the crystal dumpling with intact shrimps and a thin wrap; fish balls, beef balls and many delicious food, you are in tons of choices just for a meal. That's the Hongkong style of food. The soft flavor of mousse melting, the freshness you will taste at the first bite, you will not resist the yummy food there. It doesn't matter if you are the early birds just to grab something to eat, the street food carts are able to serve your new day with full of energy. It is an also great recommendation to have lunch at the Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Hongkong's most renowned floating restaurants, because this old tradition is still quite popular in Hongkong people's life.
Hongkong Nights,the City that Never Sleeps
The night market at the Temple Street is quite popular. It is known for one of the busiest flea markets. In your night out in Honkong, you could take the Open Top Bus to enjoy the night view of the fabulous city.
