Hong Kong, The Chinese show window

by anees - last update: Jul 30, 2007

2007, 10th anniversary of being back to China

Hong Kong is divided (unofficially) to four regions:
1- Hong Kong Island, 7% of total size of HK, 22% of the population. The most important for business, politics and history.
For toursts, HK Island important because they go to see Man Mo Temple, Victoria Peak, Aberdeen Fishing Village, Repulse Bay, and Stanely Market, etc.
2-Kowloon, the busiest for being the center for hotels, shopping centers and streets such as Nathan, and it also has museums, and nice park.
3-New Territories, The largest of about 67% of HK lands, and the fastest growing in recent yeas.
4-Outlying Islands such as Lantau, Lamma.

HK is celebrating in 2007 its 10th anniversary after it has returned to the mainland China, ending about 150 years of British era.

Briliant Mondern Designs, Buildings & Parks

A two to five days visit to HK would be fair enough to see much of the interesting sites of this city, but, I can't tell how long to say enough of it
For your short visit, you can see
1- Victoria Peak, you can reach there by taking The Peak Tram to Enjoy Cool Weather and Nice city views at day or night time. (Catching a clear day is very lucky as 50% of the days or more are not that clear I heard).
2-Lamma Island, to enjoy Sandy Beachs, Hike in green Mountain, and to eat Fresh Seafood
3-Lantau Island: where you can see the world's tallest outdoors seated bronze Buddha, and see aberdeen fishing Village and sure few beautiful Beachs.
4-Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong Island. (Hollywood St!).
5-Aberdeen Fishing Village and see old style fishing villages and fishermen floating houses.
And many more, please look at my tips, and if you have time, give them rates, and make sure to leave comment so I know that was your ranking.
