Canton Road is a luxury brands shopping street in Hong Kong, which houses flagship stores of Hermes, Chanel, Tiffany, Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada etc. The Chinese economic boom in the past decade has provided plenty of semi-rich customers who flocked to Hong Kong for these luxury products.
Revisiting Wong Tai Sin Temple after three years. WTS is one of the most iconic temples in Hong Kong, famed for “answering” the prayers among believers. A few extra attractions have been added to the temple compound since my 2007 visit, and there’s a lot more worshippers and tourists at the Taoist temple this time…
Probably the one and only Disney theme parks that celebrates Chinese New Year, Disney HK is changing their costumes and settings to fit the festive season…
I think I should book my ticket to Hong Kong for next Chinese New Year… looks fun.
Some interesting culture and places in Hong Kong; as featured in the 6th episode of The Amazing Race Asia (TARA) season 3.
Central
Central is the major business district and also the administrative centre of Hong Kong; the area probably has the highest concentration of skyscrapers in Asia.
Our visit at Hong Kong Disneyland. It happened to be Halloween season, and the resort had featured plenty of Halloween settings alongside its “traditional” stuff.
Disney’s Hollywood Hotel is one of two hotels at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort (another is Disneyland Hotel which presumably is a bit classier). We checked in to the Hollywood Hotel in the evening. The room was much larger than our previous hotel, and it was decorated with Mickey figures here and there…
Avenue of Stars (星光大道) is located along the Victoria Harbour waterfront. The avenue is Hong Kong version of Hollywood Walk of Fame, honouring celebrities that have contributed to Chinese film industry over the years.
Victoria Peak (太平山) is famous for its bird-eye view over Hong Kong…
The journey to the peak didn’t start off well, had a bit of quarrel in some queue-cutting mainland-Chinese tourists. But the spoilt mood was appease after reaching the peak, thanks to the pretty spectacular aerial view of Victoria Harbour.
