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. |

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 |

"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

Stanley
|
 |
| |
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.

Park |

Ocean
Park is a theme park to see sea creatures, ride rides, ride
cable gondolas, and say "hi" to pandas. (When did pandas

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.
