Hong Kong

hongkong

The exotic Far East is personified by Hong Kong. This cosmopolitan city, once known as the most eastern of western cities, is now regarded the most western of eastern cities. Its colorful past is revealed through its distinct blend of carefully preserved colonial buildings overlooked by skyscrapers designed by the worlds leading architects. You have endless leisure activities to enjoy in the shopping and financial hub of Asia. Attend the theater, view the arts, taste an array of international food or visit one of the numerous world-class museums and monuments dotted throughout the four districts of Hong Kong. A great way to get your bearings is to take a sightseeing cruise in Hong Kong harbor.

 

Instructions


The Majestic Peak

The famous Victoria Peak looms above the crowded streets of Kowloon and the bustling waterway of the harbor. The best way to reach the top is on The Peak Tram, a finicular railway which takes a steep path up the lush mountain. Views of the harbor and the city spread below are breathtaking. A visit at night is one of the wonders of the world.

 

High Stakes

A wander along the Hong Kong streets to unearth antiques or select designer clothes will thrill. The abundance of choice and symbols of the wealthy island are further magnified by the luxury cars cruising the curb beside you. There is no better demonstration of that wealth than at Happy Valley Racecourse, renowned as the entertainment venue that truly showcases the money loving tune of Hong Kong. The weekly Wednesday races are enjoyed by everyone. Flowing champagne and gourmet food served in private boxes is standard fare for corporate hospitality, while blue-collar workers enjoy simple food and beer in the stands. The picturesque evening races are filled with suspense set within the ring of skyscrapers. The high stakes races are run on the weekends at suburban Sha Tin Racecourse.

 

Symbolic Jewelry Abounds

Hong Kong has more jewelry stores per square mile than any other city in the world. Gems are imported duty free from around the globe. Jade is the most popular item purchased. The Chinese believe that jade protects wearers against illness and wards off bad luck. Pearls, one of the "eight jewels" have long been a symbol of purity in China. These miracles of nature, lustrous sea water and fresh water cultured pearls are available in all shapes, sizes and colors - the perfect prize after collecting your race winnings.

 

Chinese Festivals Fill the Air

Chinese festivals are celebrated throughout the year. The streets are festooned with decorations at Chinese New Year, the Cheung Chau Bun Festival or during the Mid-Autumn festival. Take part in the myriad traditions related to each festival by savoring from the variety of food specialties available at street side stalls or served formally in one of the many famous restaurants.

For one lunar month during the Hungry Ghost or Yue Laan Festival, the Chinese believe ghosts roam the earth. In some areas of Hong Kong, you will see small roadside fires, where believer's burn paper money and other offerings to appease the restless spirits during the celebrations held in August/September. The festival also features Chinese opera. Popular venues to view the performances are King George V Memorial Park in Kowloon and Moreton Terrace Playground in Causeway Bay. The elaborately decorated costumes and singer's faces surpass Broadway or London's West End shows.


Attractions

 

Hong Kong is an eclectic mix of modern and ancient, a conventional business district with markets stalls spilling onto the street, dense residential districts and sites of natural beauty. The harbor has been a bustling thoroughfare for centuries. Today, it is the launching point for many scenic attractions. Hong Kong has a museum for every taste whether your interests are Chinese arts and culture or modern history and contemporary art. Dozens of museums and monuments are located across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories.

 

A Window to the Past

In Kowloon you can witness early Chinese civilization or visit a Han tomb under a housing estate. Take a break from the city hustle and bustle with a visit to the restored walled village in the New Territories. The beautiful Chinese park and garden features a finely manicured Garden of the Chinese Zodiac, a Mountain View pavilion and a Hill Top Pavilion. Why not discover the cultural side of the New Territories on a Cultural Heritage tour.

 

Humpback Dolphins an Incredible Sight

The Pearl River Delta, between Hong Kong and Macau, is home to around 1000 Indo-pacific Humpback pink dolphins. The world's pinkest dolphins live within a few kilometers of the world's busiest shipping center and most densely populated urban area. Hop on a dolphin cruise tour and get up close to these exquisite animals at play.

 

Lantau Island

A ferry ride will carry you to one of the most awe-inspiring statues in the world. The Giant Buddha gazes serenely on the Po Lin Monastery from its hillside site at Ngong Ping on Lantau Island. The majestic seated 34-meter high Buddha is cast so that the raised right hand delivers a blessing to all. Devotees believe that this extraordinary statue brings calm and introspection to all those who look into the all-seeing eyes. Enjoy a tasty vegetarian lunch served by the monks before making a visit to Cheung Sha Beach, Shek Pik Reservoir or the Tai-O-Fishing village.

 

Watch your Dollars Spin

Hong Kong is famous for its annual gambling turnover at the racecourses. Another chance to gamble is just a 60-minute jetfoil or catamaran journey to the Monte Carlo of the Far East - former Portuguese Macau. The Historic Center of Macau has now been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, making it the 31st designated UNESCO World Heritage site in China. The Old Fort, Penha Hill, the Bishop's Home along the Praia Grande, The Ruins of the Historic Church of St Paul and the Macau Grand Prix Race Course should be visited first. Then stop at the Boarder Gate for a glimpse of the Chinese Boarder Guards before entering the Casino.

 

The Night Lights

You will find many excuses to take a ride across the Hong Kong harbor but the most spectacular scene is set at night when the majestic mountainside twinkles with the dense lights of the residential apartment towers. Try not to miss the Symphony of Lights show beamed every night at 8:00 pm. Five choreographed themes take spectators on a unique journey celebrating the energy, spirit and diversity of Hong Kong. The show begins with flashes of laser lights illuminating 20 tall buildings using an array of dancing lights and rainbow colors. Next, there is a display of rising color patterns and the sweeping of the lasers and searchlights across the night sky. Traditional lucky red and gold colors light buildings on both sides of the harbor to the beat of traditional Chinese music. Laser beams and sweeping searchlights finally scan across the harbor in kaleidoscopic patterns. The brilliant view from the harbor, promenade or mountain top at night is a view of Hong Kong that you will never forget.

Restaurants

 

It is estimated there are over 10,000 eating spots in Hong Kong. There is a staggering variety of cuisine and ambiance from over 6000 licensed restaurants.

 

Hong Kong Defines the Word "Fine"

Every gourmet can rely on finding the finest ingredients, chefs, and standards of service in the world in Hong Kong. The challenge is defining your dining destination choice by either the measure of a famous chef, a stunning view, the magnificent décor, your favorite cuisine, or just the very best Chinese food. Melbourne chef, Teage Ezard, is the master of the modern Asian blend at Jia boutique hotels' Opia and Y's restaurants. Spoon by Alain Ducasse and Yan Toh Heen are two great restaurants in the InterContinental, and Chef Gabriele Colombo serves wonderful authentic Italian at Grissini in the Grand Hyatt. A truly spectacular venue is Felix restaurant at The Peninsula. Designed by Philippe Starck, the whole effect is one of modern theater. Gaddi's also at The Peninsula, is a grand French restaurant where the desserts are an art form.

 

Cantonese Dining at its Best

Excellent, family oriented Cantonese restaurants are in abundant supply across Hong Kong. You will find the heavenly best when you dine at One Harbor Road at the Grand Hyatt. Fine dining judges consider this a jewel among Hong Kong's Cantonese establishments. It is famous for the wide repertoire of delicacies offered and the shark's fin soup is outstanding. Some of the best modern Chinese in the world is found in the Mid-Levels district. Hollywood Road links the Mid-Levels area with Hong Kong's version of SoHo - South of Hollywood Road. This neighborhood is chock-a-block with jazzy cafés and urbane martini bars too.

 

Floating Restaurants

Dining boundaries are expanded in Hong Kong to take full advantage of the breathtaking city and harbor scenery. You will have a unique experience that truly showcases the sights, sounds and tastes of Hong Kong when you dine at the Jumbo Floating Restaurant or Tai Pak Floating Restaurant at Aberdeen Harbor.

 

Food from the Heart

Traditionally, Chinese housewives would serve tiny, steamed dumplings as breakfast to their husbands or houseguests. They said these dumplings were made with great love and care for the husband, visitors or for restaurant patrons and they called these dumplings "dim-sum" or if translated, "from the heart". Having a Chinese dim sum meal is an absolute must for any visitor to Hong Kong. While the choices of dim sum places ranges from rather unsophisticated local places to up-market hotels, dim sum restaurants in Hong Kong are very lively lunchtime meeting places. Good dim sum restaurants are found in prime commercial areas like Central, Tsim-Sha-Tsui or Causeway Bay or in fairly prestigious shopping centers such as Pacific Place or Times Square. There are over 2000 varieties of dim sum so you do not need to have the same type more than once. Try har gau which is shrimp dumplings, cha siu bau the barbecued-pork buns or tsun guen are the real spring rolls. Yuk Lu Teahouse is a sedate venue for excellent love-filled food.

 

Tea is a Nectar

Ever since Emperor Shen Nung sat under a camellia tree 5000 years ago, tea has been China's national beverage. Some of the camellia tree's leaves were blown into a cauldron of boiling water and the resulting fragrance tempted the emperor to sip the brew. The Chinese never developed elaborate tea rituals and ceremonies in the manner of the Japanese. They have followed the rules of a Tang Dynasty scholar and poet, Lu Yu, on tea-making. He identified the proper way to brew tea, what water to use and the ideal surroundings in which to sip the heavenly nectar. Some teahouses in Hong Kong still maintain such a tradition. The most famous in Central District is the Luk Yu Teahouse, or the Lock Cha Tea House in Admiralty where Mr Ip offers tea appreciation classes.

 

High Tea Hong Kong Style

The colonial history of Hong Kong lives on in the sumptuous high tea spread, served at the high-ceilinged lobby of The Peninsula. Reserve ahead if possible for a lavish tea with scones and finger sandwiches displayed on silver trays. The Shangri-La Hotel in Kowloon is another institutional venue for high tea in Hong Kong, renowned for the magnificent variety of accompaniments to your relaxing tea.
