Top Attractions in Hong Kong by Tripmart
1.
The Skyscraper Skyline
It’s
what the tourists come for and it rarely disappoints – smog allowing. Hong Kong
has the most skyscrapers of any city in the world and most of them are crammed
onto the north shore of Hong Kong Island. The result is photography gold. This
breathtaking gang of high rises is best viewed from the Avenue of Star in Tsim
Sha Tsui, at night, when you can see the buildings at their dazzling best.
2.
Dai Pai Dongs
Dai
Pai Dongs are street side food stalls – plus a couple of benches. Featuring
basic, but delicious noodle and rice dishes, usually a great line in seafood
and if you’re lucky, ice cold beers they’re the perfect place to fill up on a
quick and tasty dinner. The government has clamped down on Dai Pai Dongs in
recent years because it doesn’t chime in with their effort to make Hong Kong a
squeaky clean city but their scarcity has only added to the attraction.

Happy Valley Racecourse
You
don’t need to a bookie to have fun at Happy Valley. This grand race course,
bounded by a wall of skyscrapers in the heart of the city - makes for an
electric setting when lit up for the night time races. The horses are cheered
on by a vocal crowd of thousands fueled by cheap San Miguel and bad hotdogs.
Unmissable.

Ocean Park
Hong
Kong’s premium theme park – which is quite some boast when your rival is Hong
Kong Disneyland – Ocean Park has been offering thrills and spills to the people
of Hong Kong for nearly forty years and quite honestly it has never been
better. From the Pandas and incredible Jellyfish spectacular to the 4g inverted
loops of the Hair Raiser rollercoaster, Ocean Park’s mix of animals and action
packed rides is a winning combination. Read our 7 reasons to visit Ocean Park
to find out more.

5.
LegCo Building
The
Hong Kong government is dedicated to knocking down just about anything that’s
more than 20 years old. LegCo has survived because it’s where the government
sat for much of the last hundred years and is now the Court of Final Appeal.
The building is in grand British colonial style with sturdy granite columns and
gilded verandas; a powerful statement by the men in mustaches that once ran the
city.

6.
Ngong Ping Cable Car
Hong
Kong sometimes feels like the home of the jaw dropping view, so it’s a
confirmation of just how impressive the views are from the Ngong Ping Cable Car
that it regularly makes top 10 lists such as this. Running between the town on
Tung Chung and the themed village of Ngong Ping halfway up a Lantau mountain it
affords wonderful views over the South China Sea and onto the lush greenery of
Lantau Island.

7.
10,000 Buddha's Temple
It’s
hard to pick a single Hong Kong temple so many of them are impressive for their
own individual reasons, but the 9 storey pagoda and nearly 12,000 miniature
Buddha statues make the 10,000 Buddha’s temple in the New Territories worth the
trip.

8.
Ping Shan Heritage Trail
Few
people venture outside of Hong Kong’s urban jungle, yet Hong Kong’s green lungs
– the New Territories – are one of the few places you can find some local
history. Home to Hong Kong’s walled villages, these fenced in settlements were
founded by migrating family clans and many still celebrate their traditional
heritage, both in their buildings and clothing and in lifestyle. Along the Ping
Shan heritage trail – which winds through a number of centuries old villages –
you’ll find examples of traditional Chinese architecture in the ancestral
halls, temples and pagodas.
9.
Mongkok Markets
While
the Temple Street night market is probably Hong Kong’s best individual market,
the combination of several markets all packed into one area makes Mongkok the
place for bargain hunters. The flagship show is the Ladies Market, which mostly
focuses on ladies clothes, souvenirs and knock offs from across the border in
Shenzhen – Gucco handbag anyone? Better is the Goldfish Market – effectively a
street side zoo – and best of all is the Bird Market – where you can watch
owners parade their birds around in gilded cages.
10.
Macau
Yes,
technically speaking it's not in Hong Kong, but at just an hour away by ferry
and with visa free for most tourists, anyone in Hong Kong for more than a few
days should spend the time to see the Portuguese heritage and spinning roulette
wheels ofMacau.
