The HK Tourism site located near the Star Ferry Terminal on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong was incredibly helpful to us during our recent visit to Hong Kong. They were able to provide maps, tourist destination brochures and guidance that was incredibly helpful given the shut down of many attractions in Hong Kong because of the coronavirus situation.

My girlfriend found these guys through Tripadvisor and we couldn't help ourselves to give it a try. Having tried some VR setups before I had some expectation of the visuals and usage of the goggles but honestly I was blown away by all their custom equipment. Rumble suits, VR harness, custome guns/rifles, tracking sensors for your legs and arms. It all added to the extensive VR experience. Aside from the software which is designed in house they have clearly thought about what will give you a more immersive experience by adding the rumble to your body and extra wind effects. All I can say for something that is still in development this is by far the most immersive experience I have every had. Period. Another bonus point is that you don't get motion sickness (depends per person of course) because you are walking and moving your body. So it actually feels like you are there. I believe your brain handles the sensory input better when move senses are stimulated. Just using your eyes is not enough. Cut a long story short. You would miss out on something special if you didn't try this.

What a find, the Hong Kong Museum of History was fabulous and free. Three hours passed so quickly, the exhibits and artifacts cover the history of Hong Kong in chronological order were superb. The exhibition starts in the prehistoric year and covers everything in between to modern times, there are recreated harbourside scenes, full sized traditional town streets and temples, quality pieces and so colourful and informative. Definitely worthy of a return visit in the future. Open daily, closed on Tuesday. Nearest MTR stations are Hung Hom, Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui.

What an absolutely beautiful unforgettable harbour this is. We were lucky enough to have a hotel room that overlooked the entire harbour and never tired of the sight we were greeted with. The skyline is breathtaking both throughout the day and at night. The buildings on HK island light up daily and with the light show every night at 8 it truly offers you an unforgettable view. Loved watching the different boats and ferries crossing the harbour and seeing the helicopter taking off and landing opposite it was magical

9. Hong Kong Skyline

The Hong Kong Skyline is regularly mentioned amongst the finest skylines in the world. Beautifully situated on the north of Hong Kong Island Island facing Victoria Harbour and the Kowloon Peninsula, this is a real highlight for visitors to the city and a source of pride for residents of Hong Kong. You can enjoy the Skyline from Hong Kong Island, best viewed from atop Victoria Peak where you view downward, catching elevated views of both Hong Kong and Kowloon skylines as well as Victoria Harbour sandwiched in between. This makes for postcard pictures and memories of visits to HK. However, it is from the southern point of the Kowloon Peninsula along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade and Avenue of Stars where you see the immense scale and depth of the Hong Kong Skyline best. From this ground level vantage point, the string of skyscrapers with Victoria harbour in front of you and Victoria Peak behind the skyline, is excellent during the day and simply remarkable at night. For best up close views of the skyline, consider taking the iconic Star Ferry crossing from Kowloon to Central district on Hong Kong Island. As you approach, the Hong Kong Skyline grows increasing large and looming. Views are less stable since you are on the water but up close vantage points can be rewarding. For impressive elevated views from the Kowloon side, consider the Aqua Bar at One Peking Road. This is where you find views from the 30th floor, just gorgeous at night when the skyscrapers are lit up illuminating the entire seafront of the island. For even higher vantage point, try the Sky 100 Observation Deck at the IFC building. Cloud conditions often obscure views from this height and the entry fee is a bit steep but this is the highest view point, up in the clouds.
10. Hong Kong New Year Countdown
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 222 reviews
Throughout most of China, the western calendar's marking of the new year is much less heralded than their own Lunar New Year. But with its colonial ties to Britain, Hong Kong honors the transition from December 31 to January 1 with as much fanfare as any western city. Victoria Harbor is the place to be to watch the clock count down to midnight each year, and, as the Chinese know how to do fireworks right, expect a spectacular pyromusical fireworkshow before heading out to other New Year's Eve parties around the city.

It was truly a unique experience to celebrate New Year in Hongkong onced in our lifetime. The fireworks was amazing. So beautiful! It is probably not so exotic anymore for the locals but for tourists like us, we enjoyed it a lot. We were advised by the Filipino staff at the restaurant in Al Dente where we had dinner that we don't need to go down to the harbour. It was enough to be where we are and we could see part of the fireworks. They said it would be difficult to get out of the crowd therefore best to watch it from the building where Al Dente was located. I think they were right. We got beautiful pictures and film out of the fireworks. Though my pictures included cranes, it was still beautiful. They are building something beside the HK Convention Centre. Hopefully next year, they will be done with the construction so tourists going to HK will have even better views.
