Hong Kong Tourist Attractions

Here are some Hong Kong Tourist Attractions which we had the pleasure to visit on our short visit to Hong Kong.  These interesting places for Hong Kong sightseeing made our trip a memorable one, not to forgotten in the near future.

According to DiscoverHongKong.com, Hong Kong Victoria Peak, Victoria Harbour and the Giant Buddha on Lantau Island Hong Kong are among the most awe-inspiring sights, not to be missed!  :)


The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) located in Wan Chai North, Hong Kong, is one of two major convention and exhibition venues in Hong Kong.  Built along the Victoria harbour, it is linked by covered walkways to nearby hotels and commercial buildings.

The Golden Bauhinia Square, one of the Hong Kong tourist attractions, is just outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.  This is where the handover of Hong Kong ceremonies were held in July 1997.  The sculpture, a gilded flower bauhinia, 6 metres high, is deemed an important symbol for the Hong Kong people after reunification and the square, a tourist attraction, is lit up by fireworks on the second day of Chinese New Year and National Day of the People's Republic of China.

The Star Ferry is a passenger ferry service operator in Hong Kong where its principal routes carry passengers across Victoria Harbour, between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon.  With 70,000 passengers a day, or 26  million a year, the Star Ferry is an inexpensive mode to cross the harbour.

The Star Ferry has been rated first in the "Top 10 Most Exciting Ferry Rides" poll by the Society of American Travel Writers in February 2009.  Thus a ride on the Star Ferry would be highly recommended if you have never been on one before.

Hong Kong Victoria Peak at 552 m (1,811 ft) is the highest mountain on Hong Kong Island, though not in Hong Kong.  Fondly known as The Peak to the locals, Victoria Peak is a highly popular tourist attraction which offers fabulous views over Central, Victoria Harbour as well as the surrounding islands.

The view from Victoria Peak mid level Stubbs Road Lookout is narrower than from the Peak, but you can see the buildings clearly.


For those who would like to visit the upper levels of Victoria Peak, the Peak Tramway, a funicular railway in Hong Kong, provides the most direct route and offers wonderful views of the harbour and skyscrapers of Hong Kong.

No trip to Hong Kong is complete without a visit to Lantau Island, the second largest island, where Hong Kong Disneyland is located.  Or even if you are not the Disneyland going type, the bronze Giant Buddha, Po Lin Monastery, Ngong Ping Village and Tai O village is enough reason for you to make a trip to Lantau Island.
