  • Hong Kong is widely known for its large,
    fine-looking malls, open street markets and
    stores spread all over. The street market is a
    favorite with many for its bargains on all items
    from jeans to jewels.
  • Hong Kong not only provides a great shopping
    experience but also has much more to offer in
    terms of family attractions. The Hong Kong
    government makes sure your visit to this city is
    comfortable and worthwhile. Therefore, if you
    choose this former English colony for your
    vacation, you will not be disappointed.

    miss are listed below.

  • The local Architecture Institute provides a tour
    package that takes you to the downtown area and
    gives you the opportunity to visit some prominent
    buildings. It helps you learn about the city and
    its history. It lasts around three hours.
  • The Man Mo, an ancient temple is the other must
    see in the city, located near the Hollywood Road.
    'Man' is the god of ancient literature and the
    'Mo' is the god of fine martial arts. The statues
    of these deities are inside this temple.

    that of Mo holds a sword in hand. It is among the
    oldest temples as it was built in the year 1848.
    The Inside of this temple is full of smoke from
    the incense burnt by the devotees. Surely, the
    beauty of this temple is awesome.

  • Lantau is the largest Island in Hong Kong and is
    covered with forest. It is a good place to take a
    walk. The largest Buddhist monastery situated on
    this hill attracts many visitors here.

    reach to the 100 feet seated sculpture of Lord
    Buddha. It also provides a magnificent view of
    the nearby mountain sides from here. Simple
    treats are offered to the tourist as well.
  • Aberdeen Harbor is another must see site,
    familiar to many through movies and television
    shows. The fishing junks and the ever-present
    seafood restaurants are a must visit.

    boat, will make your trip grand. Gigantic
    floating restaurants are the next best options to
    experience the delicious bites of seafood and
    other Chinese specialties.
  • Dim sum, the special Chinese dish should be
    tasted before you leave. The Hong Kong's City
    Hall Restaurant serves you Dim sum in the most
    traditional way.

    while in this city. Malls, designer stores, or
