Sightseeing In Hong Kong

By Jonny Blair


Hong Kong is the perfect place to be a tourist in China. There are so many sights to see when backpacking, especially if you happen to be doing so on a budget. Whether your interests lie in the cultural, natural or adventurous aspects of the region, there is sure to be something to make your trip worthwhile.

Here are some of the really cool top spots and sights in Hong Kong:

The Hong Kong skyline has been ranked number one in the top twenty skylines of the world, beating even New York for the spot. It truly is a sight to behold. There are many key spots you can visit to get the perfect view of the skyline at night. These include Kowloon, Victoria Peak and crossing on the ferry from Victoria Harbour.

Get yourself over to Lantau Island when you are touring Hong Kong as here sits the big Buddha. This is a massive statue worth checking out. You can even do it on a tight budget by walking up to it instead of taking the cable car. It does get very busy at times and offers tremendous views over the skyline and outlying islands of Hong Kong.

Don't just think that Hong Kong is all about big skyscrapers and a bustling city. There are some really awesome quiet spots to check out the city too!! These get you away from the noise and busy business lifestyle. Nan Lian Garden is the perfect spot to relax away from the crazy busy streets of the Kong!

You also have Hong Kong Park. Yes in amongst the madness and mayhem is a massive park where there are birds, trees and butterflies. This place has tea shops and cafes and is a good place to relax while on Hong Kong island. There is a man made waterfall within too and you can chill out there. Don't believe that Hong Kong is all about skyscrapers.

Dragon's Back is a hiking trail that offers some of the best sights of the city. This easy to moderate climb takes just a couple of hours and allows visitors to see the city from a different perspective. The scenery is quite breathtaking and there is the option to continue hiking to Big Wave Beach for further fun.

I totally recommend going backpacking or travelling in Hong Kong!
