Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

Dragons Back is a must do hike in Hong Kong. The view is breathtaking. To get here, you take the Chai Wan Line To the starting point: From MTR Shau Kei Wan Station Exit A, walk to the Shau Kei Wan Bus Terminus to take bus number 9 and get off on the Dragons Back stop on Shek O Road. Before you start the hike there are a couple of toilets and you wont find any along the way until the end. It takes a couple of hours and you have shorter hike options too

It's so close to the city and even where the HK airport is, you can find the most scenic hiking trails, fishing village, beautiful beaches and good variety of restaurants all in one. The island is big and better to plan out your day on what you want to do. One cannot see everything in one day and can spend different days on different things to do. it's more than just the shopping mall and Disneyland.

From the stunning skyline to the spectacle of Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong is full of world-class sights for travellers to see.

There’s nothing quite like a night at the races in Hong Kong! Week in and week out, Happy Wednesday fans are treated to a full sensory experience, pairing the pulse-pumping entertainment of jousting jockeys with a weekly theme that is integrated into everything from live bands and interactive games to on-course decorations and a delicious, reasonably priced trackside menu. Come in the fall and you’ll be treated to refreshing pints and a festive bratwurst for Oktoberfest – the largest outdoor beer festival in Hong Kong. Drop in during May, however, and it’s all ratatouille and brie, as Happy Wednesday hosts the hugely popular French Nights. It’s an extravaganza that’s fit for Asia’s world city, putting an international twist on a sport that has a rich heritage and cultural tradition for the city’s people. There’s simply nowhere else in the world where you can experience such a seamless blend of racing and lifestyle in one event.

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.

Happiest Place on earth so true. We were a group of 7 ppl 4 elderly above age 55 2adults n a kid aged 6, and what fun it was for all. Everyone loved the HK Fisneyland experience. But since it was 30 th Dec and a weekend the place was too busy, there were huge crowds every where. The park is divided in the following areas Main Street USA- Just at the entrance is the Train station which takes you to Fantasy Land. Also the parade happens at the Main Street. For th fireworks you need to take a place on the Main Street in front of the sleeping beauty castle. Adventure Land - has Alison King show, Jungle river cruise, rafts to Tarzan’s tree house, etc Grizzly Gulch - is a thrilling roller coaster Mystic Point - Mystic Manor, Garden of wonders Toy Story Land - RC Racer for thrill seekers, Slinky dog soon for kids Fantasyland - Sleeping Beauty Castle, Micky Philharmonic Magic show, etc. This is one of the biggest areas in the park. Tomorrowland - Hyperspace Mountain for thrill seekers, Iron Man Experience again for thrill seekers (I missed it though)
