Ngong Ping Village is one famous tourist destination in Hong Kong. This is 1.5-hectare open-air village & shopping area with restaurants & cultural performances. If you come from Central, ride MTR going to Tung Chung station. Then just walk a lil bit and take a cable car going to the island, two kind of choices, standard or crystal cabin. If you are afraid of heights, dnt take the crystal because you will pass across big mountains and sea levels. Different prices also. If you feel you cant ride this cable cars, then take a road trip because there are also buses going there. Things to do here, shopping, hiking going up to Big Buddha, shopping, picture taking, and trying to taste chinese foods in some restaurants. Tip for travellers, better go here during winter because it is open area, very hot during summer. #urbanexplorer #roadtrip #roadtrips #hongkongtravel #hktrip #historicculture

홍콩 여행 홍콩의 랜드마크! 시계탑 #홍콩여행 #홍콩시계탑 #홍콩랜드마크 #시계탑 홍콩 하면 떠오르는 랜드마크가 무엇인가요? 많은 것이 생각나시겠지만 저는 시계탑이 떠오릅니다. 예쁜 시계탑에서 사진을 촬영하는 것이 인싸들의 유행이었던가.ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 1915년에 화강암을 이용해서 만들어진 시계탑이라고 합니다. 홍콩에는 중국과 유럽을 오가던 시베리아 횡단열차 역이 존재했는데 이 역을 지날 때 기관사들이 시간을 확인하기 위해서 만들었던 시계탑이라고 합니다. 시계탑 앞에 보면 높은 건물들이 많아요. 제가 마침 간 날이 흐린날이라서 건물들이 자세히 보이지는 않지만 높은 건물들이 많고 앞이 강이라 보니 뻥 뚫린 느낌도 들어서 좋았어요. 참고로 한국 기업인 삼성과 LG의 건물도 보여서 국뽕이 들었다고 해야하나 ㅎㅎ 몇 년전에 여행한 홍콩인데 또 가고싶은 마음이 생기네요~! #홍콩핫플 #레트로감성 #포토존 #그때그시절 #노을감상 #해외여행지추천

Victoria Peak is other known as simply The Peak in Hong Kong, the highest hill on HK island. Easiest way to go there, 1st is by peak tram going up, the Peak Tram is an unforgettable experience. One of the world's oldest and most famous funicular railways, the tram rises to 396 metres (about 1,300 feet) above sea level. The second way is by bus, of you come from Central, just go bus station under the IFC mall, 15C bus. But for me, i tried to ride the tram going up and enjoy the view and going down is by bus. Things to do on the Peak, viewing the Hong Kong island plus the unique design of different buildings. There are also souvenir shops inside the peak mall, coffee and restaurants, plus you can find there the Madame Tussauds. This place is one of the famous tourist spot in HK. #urbanexplorer #ancientlandmark #naturalpark #hongkongtravel #naturalpark

Hong Kong Disneyland is a theme park located on reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island. It is located inside the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort and it is owned and managed by Hong Kong International Theme Parks. It is the largest theme park in Hong Kong, followed by Ocean Park Hong Kong. Hong Kong Disneyland is the main reason why my sister and I visited Hong Kong. Undoubtedly one of the famous attractions in Hong Kong, this theme park boasts of 7 themed attractions like Fantasyland, Adventureland, Main Street, Mystic Point, Toy Story Land, Tomorrowland and Grizzly Gulch. Being here is like fulfilling a childhood dream, especially seeing the fireworks display. Don’t miss the Flights of Fantasy Parade (my favorite!) around 1:30 PM and the Disney Paint the Night Parade at around 8:45 PM. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip #artexhibit#university#lanternshow#nationalpark

Hong Kong is special to me, because it’s my first international travel with my sister. It’s like fulfilling a childhood dream when we toured Hong Kong Disneyland. This is why I wrote this Hong Kong Travel Guide Blog. If you dream of traveling to Hong Kong, have the courage to pursue it. As Walt Disney said it, “If you can dream it, you can do it!”. But of course, Hong Kong travel blog is not all about Hong Kong Disneyland, I also included sample Macau + Hong Kong itineraries with budget. Hong Kong is perpetually short on space and overflowing with people, reason why the country is sprinkled with eye-popping high-rise apartment buildings to address the housing crisis. Yet despite its size, it attracts millions of tourists each year, and that’s not really surprising, given the wealth of family-friendly attractions, lively street life and shopping meccas here. And if you feel like escaping the bustling, futuristic jungle, rush to the outlying areas with hills and beaches that remain untainted by commercialism. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip #artexhibit#lanternshow#nationalpark

Hong Kong is one of the busiest and the most developed metropolitan hubs in Asia in terms of trade, business, and tourism. It consists of the Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula, the New Territories, and 200 outlying islands. While these areas are connected by sprawling train and bus networks, it is important to be familiar with its geography. Hong Kong Island is where the Central area, the political and economic center, is located. Although intimidating at first, it harbors a number of affordable guesthouses and hostels. It is also home to many tourist attractions including the Victoria Peak. Kowloon is where you will find most museums, markets, and the Avenue of Stars. It also has the greatest concentration of cheap guesthouses. The New Territories, north of Kowloon, is dotted with wetland parks and temples. Lantau Island, one of the many outlying islands, takes pride in Ngong Ping (Giant Buddha and Po Lin Monastery) and Hong Kong Disneyland. Here are more bits of info you might want to know to prep for your trip. Language: Cantonese and English are the official languages. Almost 95% of the population speaks Cantonese. Almost everything a tourist would need has an English translation, so there isn’t that thick of a language barrier. Mandarin is also starting to flourish as more immigrants from the mainland pour in. Currency: Hong Kong dollar (HKD). HKD 100 is around PHP 665, USD 12.75, EUR 11.23, SGD 17.25 (as of February 2019). Money Exchange: You’ll find countless money changers around Hong Kong, concentrated in the areas of Tsim Sha Tsui (Chungking Mansions and Hankow Centre) and the Central district. ATMs are also aplenty, with HSBC being the most familiar. Modes of payment: Most establishments prefer cash payment, but many of them also accept credit card transactions. #urbanexplorer #maydaytrip

There’s a hole in my heart that only Hong Kong can fill. Perhaps it’s because of the fact that it is the first foreign city that I explored on my own for leisure and the first foreign destination I have visited more than once. (Singapore was my first overseas destination, but I was there to attend an awards show.) I had been to Hong Kong four times now, and I’m set to return later this month. Looking back, having my international travel debut in Hong Kong isn’t a bad idea at all. This “modern and futuristic city” is a great destination for a first out-of-the-country trip. The culture is not too different to be alienating but not too similar to be boring. It is connected by an impressive, expansive systems of transportation — from its world-class airport terminals to its vast train network to its reliable bus system. They have all their major tourist attractions easily accessible. They also make the cities very friendly to kids and elderly, an important criterion for ideal family vacations. All these combined make it one of the best foreign cities for first-time overseas traveler. #maydaytrip #urbanexplorer
