Things to Do in Hong Kong

Hong Kong alternatively known by its initials H.K. is a special administrative region of China situated on China's south coast. The city is known for its expansive skyline and deep natural harbor. It is one of the most densely populated areas in the world. ~ source wiki

In this post, I'll be sharing with you some tips and/or things when visiting this bustling city.

Spend the Night At the Airport

I remember arriving in Hong Kong around midnight and because we are on a tight budget we've decided to spend the night at the airport and head to the city the next day. Can you see those blue chairs? 

Yes, we shamelessly sleep there, not minding the people passing by. Who knows you might meet your doppelgänger, just like what happened to me.

Honestly, I didn't notice her wearing an identical outfit: from top to jeans and even to the boots. I only realized when I reviewed the photo after the trip. (lol)

Get Your Heart Rate Pumping Up at Ocean Park

Who says theme parks are just for kids? Well, not Ocean Park. As I've mentioned on my post on 5 Things To Do in Ocean Park, Hong Kong, Ocean Park is a marine mammal park, oceanarium, animal theme park, and amusement park situation in the Southern District of Hong Kong, China.

It is one of the biggest theme parks in Hong Kong together with Hong Kong Disneyland. So young and old alike will surely enjoy it here.

Channel Your Inner Child at Disneyland

Named as the happiest place on earth and it surely is. I was so elated going there even if most of the rides are just for kids. Well, to be honest, this is the first-ever Disneyland I've ever been too.

Haggle at Mongkok Night Market

Yes! It's definitely fun. Make sure to make some budget allotments for shopping and grab the best bargains in town.

Avenue of Stars

The views here are spectacular especially at night time when the weather is cool and the lights from the neighboring lands sparkle. Be sure to steady your cameras so you won't get blurry pictures.

Commute with the Locals

I love that transportation in Hong Kong is very convenient especially for first-time travelers. The Chinese signs can be confusing for those of us who can't read, but don't worry there are English signs all over the place as well.

I remember getting confused for directions one time and then a friendly local approach us and help us on our way. Yes, Locals can speak English so you'll never get lost in making your way through the city. 

Meet and Greet the Stars at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum

Well, at least their wax counterparts. Don't forget to pose and shine brightly with them.

Get a Breathtaking View of Hong Kong at the Peak

I recommend visiting here at night time when the weather is cool and you can get a spectacular view of the Hong Kong city lights.

The remember the train climbing up to this place in a 45-degree angle and my ears were ringing or hearing fuzzy things on our way up just like when an airplane is taking off. Yes, it's really that high up.

Take the Ferry Ride to Macau

Macau is an hour ferry ride from Hong Kong. The place is worth visiting as there are also lots of tourist spots in the area not mentioning a lot of casinos, well if that's your thing.

Thinking that it's only a stone's throw away from Hong Kong you surely wouldn't want to miss it. It's like hitting two birds in one stone. You might want to check my post on 10 Things to do in Macau.

Shop for Souvenirs

Other than taking loads of photos, I know most of us like to collect memorabilia of the places we've been to. Oh, and don't forget to get them some local delicacies too.

I hope I've helped you with your future trip to Hong Kong. Enjoy and have a safe trip!
