Hong Kong Tourism 25 - 28 Aug 2011

Hong Kong tourism is booming and during our recent visit to Hong Kong from 25th to 28th August 2011, we found Hong Kong to be an exciting place for shopping, dining as well as sightseeing.

The short 4 days 3 nights trip was too short for us even though we left on the 0115 hrs flight, thereby giving us effectively a full day there on our very first day in Hong Kong.

Arriving there before 0600hrs, we were brought to our hotel Harbour Plaza 8 Degrees in Kowloon. As it was so early in the morning and before the check in time, there was no more standard rooms available.  We were offered an upgrade to the deluxe room at HKD250++ (USD32) which we accepted so that we could have a short nap before starting on our Hong Kong sightseeing.

Visited The 9th Natural Products Expo Asia 2011 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.
Great for those who are interested in increasing health consciousness and with heightened attention to product safety to fuel the growth of natural and organic products.

 Check out some of the must-see Hong Kong tourist attractions and sightseeing spots to visit...

Avenue of the Stars

Repulse Bay Hong Kong

Visit the islands as well for a different experience.

If you are the more adventurous type, you can go trekking from one village in Lamma to the next and end the day with a seafood dinner.

Lantau island is where you can visit Disneyland or visit Ngong Ping 360 Village as well as various other attractions including the Tai O Fishing Village

Overall, if you intend to explore Hong Kong to the fullest, three days is simply not enough.  We did not even have much time for shopping which Hong Kong is well-known for.
