This was our trip to Hong Kong last year 2015 to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Want to travel in Hong Kong? Join me in my journey as I take you to the significant places and events in Hong Kong that I’ve been and you should too.
- Ride the Big Bus or Rickshaw Sightseeing Bus
Availing the bus tour allows you to have a glimpse around the city and its significant tourist spots. A TV is equipped in the bus and explains each of your stopovers. For best viewing, I suggest you to take the front seat of the upper deck.
- Know the artists at the Avenue of Stars
Similar to Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, the Avenue features all famous celebrities who made it big in the film industry not only locally but internationally. See Bruce Lee’s sculpture and don’t forget to take photos of your favorite artist. Of course, I couldn’t miss Jacky Chan!
- Enjoy the Symphony of Lights
Every night at 8pm, the buildings from the Central District collectively light up and make a creative laser and light show synchronized with a lovely music. I had the chance to witness the show which was then followed by the great fireworks display as a celebration for the Chinese New Year.
- Watch the Pulse 3D Light Show and the Clock Tower
What’s spectacular about the 3D show is its interactive art display and synchronization with audiovisual effects. The Clock Tower, the only remaining reminder of the Kowloon-Canton Railway, is part of the show which adds more life to the already colorful scene.
- Walk your way up to the Big Buddha
The 268 steps you need to take will all be worth it once you reach the top. You can see the Tian Tan Buddha, made of pure bronze, up close. It literally is big!
- Meet and greet with Mickey Mouse at Disneyland
Welcome to the happiest place on Earth! Indeed, this place holds true to its mission: bringing happiness to everyone, regardless of age, who sets foot at Disneyland. Enjoy various themes,shows, rides, and food.
- Ride the famous peak tram.
To reach Victoria Peak, take the peak tram ride and enjoy the scenes outside. Upon reaching the Peak Tower, stroll around and see Hong Kong’s city view. For a best night viewing, go to the Sky Terrace (with an additional cost). We did not try this since it was very hazy.
- Wander around various gardens and parks.
Get in touch with nature at Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens. Take a pose at the Garden Fountain. Head on to Tamar Park and breathe fresh air.
- Say “Hi” to the Pandas at Ocean Park.
Panda fans would definitely fall in love with the place and see pandas right before their eyes. The Giant Aquarium is also a must-visit. The Hair Raiser ride is considered favorite among the adventurous type.
- Take the ferry ride to Macau.
Cross to the “Las Vegas of Asia” and hop on to the top hotels in Macau. Free shuttle rides are available. The Venetian is not to be missed. Try the gondola ride.
