Hong Kong - Top Tourist Attractions
Famous for its iconic skyline and known as one of the top culinary capitals and commercial hub in the world, Hong Kong is a travel destination that millions of people visit for both business and leisure. If you're there to see the sights, this part of Asia will not disappoint. You won't be able to count with your fingers the number of top attractions here, including those less traveled and explored.
What Are Hong Kong's Top Attractions?
Hong Kong Disneyland
This is one of the reasons Hong Kong is perfect for a family holiday. Experience Disneyland Resort with its favorite characters and rides. Enjoy the Iron Man Experience, Star Wars™: Tomorrowland Takeover, Mickey and the Wondrous Book, and the Disney Explorers Lodge, among others.
The Peak
View all of Hong Kong from the top at its highest peak. Take the Peak Tram service to reach any of the vantage points—a large viewing platform at The Peak Tower, a free-entry observation deck at The Peak Galleria, Lions Point View Pavilion, and the Lugard Road Lookout.
Ocean Park Hong Kong
Don't want to go down from Disneyland's adrenaline rush? Pump it up and enjoy more at the Ocean Park Hong Kong, a theme park that features rides, shows, and animals. Some of its major attractions are Adventures in Australia, Polar Adventure, and Old Hong Kong. Let the inner child in you enjoy the wild rides.
Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade
A leisurely stroll in this stretch of promenade is a treat for your senses. From the colonial-era Clock Tower, you will pass by the Avenue of Stars, the Hong Kong Space Museum, and the Hong Kong Cultural Centre before you reach Hung Hom, Kowloon City District's administrative part. But the real highlight is the Hong Kong Island skyline you can see over Victoria Harbour.
Lantau Island
This outlying island is the largest in Hong Kong with many top attractions in and around it—The Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery in Ngong Ping, the Heritage Hotel and Stilt Houses in Tai O, Lantau Peak, the Cheung Sha Beach and Pui O Beach, and Discovery Bay, just to name a few.
Temple Street Night Market
It's not a true holiday without you going home with bits of souvenirs. In Hong Kong, where you buy your knick-knacks is an attraction in itself. After all, it showcases what a festivity of a Chinese market looks like. It has also made appearances in many memorable films. What is even better is that, in the middle of its main drag, is the Tin Hau temple from which the market is named after.
Lan Kwai Fong
This is the party central in Hong Kong and part of the nightlife district made up of numerous clubs and bars. Choose from a range of establishments that are sure to fill your night with fun and excitement. And if you head out to the Wan Chai Bar District, you'll be drinking in Colonial-style pubs.
These are just a few of the top attractions in Hong Kong. Imagine how long the list will be if you count other attractions that didn’t make the top but are worth the trip.
