Cheap Holidays to Hong Kong – A Getaway to Infinite Pleasures
Glamour, glitz, and endless fun are what come to mind when one thinks of Hong Kong. Be it gulping down gallons of local tea and gorging on noodles and dim sums, or shopping madly at one of the irresistible retail hotspots, Hong Kong slowly grows on the senses and finally enslaves you. Allow me to provide a somewhat inside look into some of the biggest charmers of Hong Kong.
Statue Square
The glittering Statue Square assails the visitor with its staggering array of modern architecture as well as some not so modern quaint structures. This is the place to come up close to the most famous Hong Kong buildings like Bank of China, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC), Legislative Council Building, Bank of China, St John's Cathedral, and International Finance Centre. The International Finance Centre is among the tallest buildings in the world and has been featured in the famous movies, ‘The Dark Knight' and ‘Tomb Raider II'.
Western Market
This four storied red brick Edwardian building serves as a shopping centre. There are numerous souvenir stands, curio sellers, and small shops. The first floor stocks exotic silks and many other fabrics.
Victoria Peak
The Victoria Peak was a hill station during the colonial times. Using the old funicular called the Peak Tram to reach Victoria Peak, makes the journey a delight in itself. The fit and adventurous ones may scale the peak over the tram terminus. The different attractions here are drinking in the views from the Peak Tower, retail therapy at the Peak Galleria shopping arcade, and taking the Peak Circuit Walk. Dining at Café Deco is a must have experience here.
Happy Valley Races
Visit on a Wednesday night and behold prized race horses setting the track on fire. The atmosphere is electrifying as fortunes are made and ruined here. Besides, this the only kind of gambling permitted in Hong Kong.
Star Ferry
Those desirous of some captivating views of Kowloon's and Hong Kong's waterfronts during the days or the nights would do well to hop aboard one of the tub shaped green and white ferries.
Mid-Levels Escalator
This is the longest escalator in the world and measures approximately 800m. The same escalator runs uphill and downhill. It is a major draw for people who want to take sweeping views of the glittering Soho district.
Times Square
This is perhaps the greatest of retail plazas in Hong Kong and is like a temple dedicated to Mammon. This humongous complex has nine shopping floors. An enormous display screen and electronic clock make for a spectacular exterior. This was the venue for the countdown to the millennium in 2010. This is also the place where visitors splurge whatever they save on booking cheap holidays to Hong Kong.
Wong Tai Sin Temple
This temple is a combination of Buddhist, Confucian, and Taoist traditions. It is named after an alchemist called Wong Tai Sin who is believed to have concocted a potion for curing all ailments. Latticework decorations, golden ceiling, and red pillars bestow the temple with a colourful character. A popular activity here is to visit the fortune tellers. The temple is at its liveliest best during the Chinese New Year Celebrations. These are just a few of the delights awaiting those who book cheap holidays to Hong Kong
Hong Kong Museum of History
The museum sits next to Hong Kong Science Museum of Kowloon. It is a treasure house of exhibits dating back from Hong Kong's prehistoric times. Exhibits include old village house replicas, period photograph collection, and traditional costumes. There is even an entire street replica. Furthermore, there are quite a few temporary exhibitions as well
