Hong Kong in 1 day
An attempt to see the whole of Hong Kong in 1 day is unlikely to be successful, and therefore it is best to sketch out a real route and have time to visit the most important city attractions. Moreover, the financial capital of Asia boasts a variety of monuments, parks and entertainment centers..
Their answer to Hollywood
You can start your walk around Hong Kong from its waterfront. In 2004, it solemnly opened its own Avenue of Stars, where you can find palm prints of many cinematic celebrities and stars in their honor. The Walk of Fame is crowned by the figure of Bruce Lee, and in the evenings karaoke songs and training with famous Chinese masters of martial arts are popular here..
On the waterfront, it is best to watch the show, which is listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Every day at 20.00 in Hong Kong starts «Symphony of Lights», which involves skyscrapers. For ten minutes, laser beams dance over Victoria Bay, and skyscrapers seem to wink at each other with millions of colored lights.
Victoria Peak
Walking along the waterfront, you can go to Victoria Peak and enjoy panoramic views of the city. For this, clear weather is best suited so that you can not interfere with enjoying the spectacle. However, being in Hong Kong for 1 day, you do not have to choose, and therefore it is worth taking the risk and buying a ticket for the funicular. By itself, this train is already a local landmark. Along the way, magnificent views open up, and on the mountain itself there is a Peak Tower, from the observation deck of which huge Hong Kong appears in full splendor.
The Biggest Buddha
Lantau Island within the boundaries of Hong Kong is the place where you can see the largest statue of a seated Buddha on the planet. The 24-meter sculpture is located on the podium and can be reached by cable car. The booths on it are not for the faint of heart. The floor of the booths is glass, and during the ascent it may seem that an abyss has opened up below. Photographers will appreciate the views of both the Buddha and the surrounding area.
Shopping is the best dope
Tired of walking around Hong Kong, it makes sense to reward yourself with a visit to its malls. Thousands of shops are open in the city, where absolutely everything is sold: from branded items to their quite high-quality counterfeits. Treat yourself and your friends with souvenirs, taste the masterpieces of Chinese cuisine in restaurants on the waterfront and once again be surprised at the miracle called Hong Kong - a worthy end to a busy day in one of the world's greatest cities.
