Top 10 Hong Kong Sights & Attractions
When it comes to the top attractions and sights in Hong Kong, it is hard to say exactly how they rank. After all, every person has one's own preference. But I am quite certain about the top two. Perhaps after you have been here, you will have your own ranking.
1 Victoria Peak Victoria Peak
  Take the Peak Tram up to the Victoria Peak and get a mangnificent view of the Kowloon Pennisula with Hong Kong Island buildings in the foreground. Best time to go - the later at night, the clearer the view. more
2 Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront
  Stroll along the pedestrian-only promenade at the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront and enjoy the breathtaking view of the skyline of Hong Kong Island. Good time to go - any time; best time - after dark. more

3 "Ladies' Market"
Ladies Market
 

Nicknamed "Ladies' Street" or "Women's Street" by the locals, this is a street market that has grown from shopping grounds of locals to a hangout for both locals and tourists. T-shirts, watches, ties, jeans, towels, and a slew of low-cost items can be found there. Best time to go - in the afternoon. more

4
Stanley
Stanley Market
  An area with a small town feel, Stanley is away from the densely populated Hong Kong with a market and a strip of restaurants plus a small shopping center. An interesting landmark is an old building moved there stone by stone from Central district and reassembed again. It's now home to some nice restaurants by the sea. Best time to go to shop - during the day. more
 
5
Repulse Bay Repulse Bay Beach
  The Repulse Bay is a beach known for its gradual slope of shallow water. It does get crowded in summer. more
6 Mongkok Nathan Rd., Mongkok
  A densely populated area teaming with activities day and night. Good place to go if you want to shop for consumer electronics. more
7 Central District Central District
  "Central" is the central business district and location of main government buildings of Hong Kong. You can also ride the Mid-levels escalators up the hill and stop off somewhere along the way for a meal. more
8 Disneyland Hong Kong Disneyland
 

Need I introduce?! more

 

 

 

9 Ocean Park  
  Ocean Park is a theme park to see sea creatures, ride rides, ride cable gondolas, and say "hi" to pandas. (When did pandas start living in the ocean?) Best time to go - go for the whole day! more
10 Sheung Wan District
 

Walk around on the side streets of Sheung Wan to the south of Des Voeux Rd and see shops and buildings that have retained a trace of the old Hongkong. It's also home to lots of shark's fins and bird's nests - minus their original owners.

Best time - day time.

To get there, just take the MTR and get off at the Sheung Wan Station. Then take the exit for the Western Market and walk west.
