Kowloon City
Known as the ‘Little Thailand’ locally, and regarded as Hong Kong’s hippest urban area, Kowloon City has lots to keep you entertained. Stretching from the harbor to Lion Rock Country Park, this neighborhood is full of creative spaces.
We enjoyed the art galleries, street theater performers, and family-owned restaurants in this city. But the Kowloon City Market, one of the largest in Hong Kong, was the highlight of the day.
Several good waterfront-based hotels offer a good night’s rest after a day of sightseeing on foot.
Lantau Island
Verdant green hills and white sandy hills cradle historic sites and nature reserves in the New Territories of Hong Kong. Lantau Island is the largest and most developed of the outlying islands of the New Territories.
The enormous bronze Buddha statue known as Tian Tan Buddha is found here, and it’s one of the main tourist attractions. But you can also stay at a Disneyland-themed Hotel. With room names like the Cinderella Suite and iconic Disney themes at every turn,
it’s a Disney fan’s dream!
Hong Kong Island
Hong kong island has many hotels, ranging from quirky boutique hotels to luxury 5-star establishments.
Locally known only as The Peak, Victoria Peak is situated on the western half of Hong Kong Island. At over 1800ft, it's the highest point on the island. You’ll enjoy a fabulous view of Hong Kong from here.
And with a variety of street markets selling souvenirs, local crafts, and delicious street food, you’ll want to stay out until late soaking up the local culture.
