The following are two of our favourite tourist attractions in Hong Kong:- |
|  | Repulse Bay Repulse Bay is located in southern part of Hong Kong Island. It is the most spectacular bay in Hong Kong. Its name was derived when British Army repulsed the pirates several decades ago when British occupied Hong Kong. The Chinese name for Repulse Bay literally means "the Shallow Water Bay".
Today Repulse Bay is a great tourist destination and attraction. Lots of luxurious hotels, high-rise residential properties, fascinating monuments, elegant restaurants, bars and cafes are now located along the beach. Millions of foreign and local tourists flock to Repulse Bay to enjoy the scenery every year especially during summer. |

I liked reading your tips, though in reality I'd give the roller coaster a miss. But reading about it is fun. |
