It would probably be wrong to use such a phrase "walking around Hong Kong", since this is not a city, but an administrative region of the PRC, endowed with special rights and powers. From a geographical point of view, it is divided into three parts, one of them is, in fact, the island with the same name, the second is the Kovlun peninsula, and the third is the so-called New Territories. This company includes more than 250 tiny islands, so tourists try to choose the most interesting places, attractions and events for themselves.
Memorable walks in Hong Kong
The first thing any guest does in Hong Kong, no matter if he comes for a month or a few days, is to go to the main local attraction - to the huge bronze Buddha monument, which ranks first in the world in terms of size. Fans of Buddhism examine the monument with reverence and respect, the rest - with curiosity, all without exception - with delight.
In addition to this important Hong Kong landmark, the list of tourists who independently explore the area or under the guidance of a guide includes other monuments of ancient history, religion, culture and natural beauty. Most often, guests can be found in the following places:
- Repulse Bay - one of the most beautiful beaches in Hong Kong, shaped like a crescent;
- Hollywood Road with its many antique shops, markets for unusual toys and souvenirs;
- the harbor of Aberdeen, home to thousands of people living in junks.
Among the religious buildings of Hong Kong, apart from the giant Buddha, the temple of Man Mo attracts attention - the name of this beautiful religious building mentions local deities, in whose honor the building was erected. "Man" for the people of Hong Kong is the God of literature, "Mo" is the God of war. The highlight of this temple is the incense, which is hung everywhere, the smell of them for a long time then haunts the tourists who have visited this blessed place.
Another interesting place for tourists is the temple with a long and poorly remembered name - Won Tai Sing. The main artifacts are collected in the Historical Museum of Hong Kong, where guests of the city have also paved the way for a long time. Well, you can admire the local beauty by going up to the observation deck located in the Victoria Peak area.
It is clear that Hong Kong is very technologically advanced, so there is a large selection of modern entertainment such as the Oceanarium, a multimedia light and music show on top of Victoria Harbor.
