Hong Kong Tourist Guides — Activities

Hong-Kong street tram

Hire a bike and go around Tolo Harbor. You can also be fishing about there. If your pockets are full, you are lucky to play in the golf courses. Country Parks can be your one of the target zones. There are sultry sea beaches. Go out to them or stretch out in the Lantau Island and the MacLehose Trail in the New Territories. There are scopes for windsurfing and sailing; you can always hire boats if you want them to carry you out for an exciting venture. Big Wave Bay in Hong Kong is a great place for surfing. Even fishing can be worthy pastime if you can invest some of your moments. A couple of minutes walk from either a MTR (subway) or bus station will bring you to the spot. Hong Kong is one of the most sought after shopping zones in the world. At night it's quite an experience to shop around with glittery shopping malls. Temple Street Night Market (Kowloon), Ladies' Market (Kowloon), Hollywood Road (Hong Kong) and Western Market (Hong Kong) are some of the popular destinations for a variety of fashionable material. In addition you can also buy some of the Chinese antic items. There.s a bird market too; if you have a fascination for these specimens you must come here.

Like shopping, eating out in the island is a complete fill-up of senses. There are some 8000 restaurants in Kowloon. You are enticed with a heap of choice from regional Chinese cuisines to Cantonese flavors, which dominates the island. The list does not end here. Thai, Indonesian, Malay and Japanese cuisines also don.t remain behind. If you lunch somewhere, make sure you don.t miss Dim Sum with an a-la-carte style. It's one of the trademark foods of the locale. By tradition, the waiter is to bring the foodstuffs in a trolley with a basket containing items waiting for your cue. It doesn.t happen always nowadays. Nevertheless some of the most in demand items are siu mai (miniature globes of pork, draped in a small cabbage leaf), ha gow (small dumplings with steamed prawns within) and cha siu bao (steamed barbecued pork buns). Try out the daan pastry (little custard-filled pie)! New Central area with chic bars, cafes and restaurants known as SoHo are now giving a tough competition to all others in the same trade. You can derive the best out of this neck-to-neck contest and fill your tummy!

Lamma Island is particularly charming for its breathtaking setting and grand seafood. Take a ferry to this place for a romantic treat!
