Home to Stanley Market famous for the wide range of cheap goods such as Chinese souvenirs, rattan products, handicrafts and designer labels ,Stanley has more to offer than just shopping. It also boasts a relaxing beach, a plethora of waterfront restaurants and bars, and the 18th century Tin Hau Temple. Stanley Prison, which is still in use today, is also historically important, as this is where Hong Kong civilians were held during World War II.
Lan Kwai Fong was once an "expat hangout" but locals have gradually joined in the party fun. Located just above the Central business area, Lan Kwai Fong houses some of the trendiest pubs and entertainment hangouts in Hong Kong. Every year, during Christmas, New Years and Halloween, many people will dress up and parade through the streets, but whatever time of year, It's whouth any doubts the funniest place to see and to be seen.
One of Hong Kong's main attractions and one of the deepest container ports in the world, the harbour is shielded on both sides by stunning skylines—skyscrapers and Victoria Peak on one side, and the Tsim Sha Tsui shoreline on the other. Everyday, hundreds of ferries, tugs, junks, speed boats, and barges chug up and down the shore, carrying people and cargo, only pausing for typhoons. Best viewed from the famous Star Ferry (wich I have told you about before), or the Harbour Cruises.
This park houses a full-fledged amusement park with the popular Dragon Roller Coaster, Ferris wheel and other thrills; a marine park with a Shark Aquarium; and a Chinese cultural village with temples, pagodas and traditional street displays. A great way to start your vacations is by ascending via cable car to the headland and then spend the day in the amusement park!
If you haven't been to Victoria Peak, then you don't know Hong Kong yet! Every person in Hong Kong should go to the Peak for panoramic views of the city, which are amongst the most spectacular in the world, and at night you will claim OH MY GOD!. A walk around the Peak reveals further scenic vistas over the greener western parts of Hong Kong Island, and the viewing platforms on top of the Peak Tower and Peak Galleria are a must too.
Nathan Road is probably the most famous shopping strip in Hong Kong. I could sayt that it stretches for well over 10 kilometres! Everything that you ever wanted to buy is available and at extremely good prices, including well known designer clothes, shoes, tech goodies, music CDs, DVDs, etc.
The only thing that can disturb you at first it's that is always crowded! regardless the time! but it is worth it!
