Hong Kong is able to sparkle with its most striking advantages and fall in love with a tourist. And he really has something to be proud of. Although it is not the capital, and not even a city. Hong Kong is part of China, an administrative region. It includes the Kovlun Peninsula, the New Territories, an island and more than two hundred smaller islets.
Go sightseeing. Hong Kong is ready to take a tourist on a double-decker bus - there is enough such transport here.
True, a journey along a mountain serpentine will make you hold your breath, for example, when climbing Victoria Peak. But the list of options for traveling by bus is not exhausted. Trams, street escalators, metro, ferries, minibuses - the list is long. And, of course, travelers are eager to try each of them.
Take your breath away once again at the sight of the Big Buddha. This attraction proudly looks at tourists from Lantau Island. Its height is 34 meters. They get to the huge statue by metro, then by bus, cable car, ferry or taxi. But the rest of the path will have to be walked - 268 steps.
It is also worth sharing their hobby with the people of Hong Kong. These people are big fans of horse racing. So could they do without the hippodrome? It contains two dozen stables for a thousand horses. The Hong Kong Jockey Club accepts bets and pays out winnings. So if you need an adrenaline rush, this is the place to go.
Tourists note that Hong Kong itself is admirable. Nice bridges, skyscrapers, long pedestrian crossings - you can walk slowly for hours. And before the Chinese New Year, there will be tangerine trees in pots everywhere. Particular attention should be paid to the system of tunnels-transitions.
And in the city there is a “panda boom”. A huge number of toys are everywhere - in shopping centers, on the streets. And even clothes are made with the image of pandas. Cute toys and drawings create an appropriate atmosphere in the city. It will certainly be noticed by the tourist.
So, like every city, Hong Kong has unique features. When planning a route to anywhere in the world, you should look for something special. You can read travel blogs or ask friends who often travel abroad. Gradually, a picture of what should be paid attention to in the first place will emerge. And then the trip will be truly unforgettable.
