Hong Kong Travel
The area that compromises Hong Kong (HongKong,
or HK) can be
geographically and administratively divided up into three main
sections; namely Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New
Territories. On top of this, there are some pretty islands
dotted around the coast of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon in the
South China Sea.
Hong Kong Island is usually the starting point and the most
important district for travelers. This is really the heart and
soul of the city in almost every sense of the word; shopping,
business, culture and politics all prosper here and it is this
skyline that has graced the pages of limitless glossy magazines
and postcards over the years.
The island is subdivided into several districts: Central, the
business and financial center of Hong Kong where the Bank of
China building dominates; Admiralty to the east of Central where
you will find Hong Kong Park; Victoria Peak, affording panoramic
views of the island; Wan Chai home to the Hong Kong Convention &
Exhibition Center; Causeway Bay with a varied selection of shops
and Sheung Wan and Soho, (home to the Man Mo Temple) where the
streets are filled with antique shops and bars and restaurants.
Kowloon, a short ride away on the Star Ferry, is the area on the
southern tip of the Chinese mainland. This is a large area, also
popular with travelers who come here for the hustle and bustle
of the shops and a variety of sights. This is a much bigger area
than Hong Kong Island and can also be subdivided into different
sections.
Tsim Sha Tsui in the southeast of Kowloon is the busiest and
liveliest, home to limitless shopping malls and traders selling
a variety of knock off goods along Nathan Road. Culturally and
ethnically this district is rich, with a large Muslim and Indian
population.
The Hong Kong Cultural Center is situated along the waterfront
here and the promenade along the sea offers great views over to
the island (as does as stay at the Peninsula Hotel, arguably
Hong Kong's finest!). Mong Kok is the district to the north of
here, with some good markets including Temple Market and Ladies
Market.
Many Hong Kong residents, particularly the ex-pats have set up
around the New Territories. The beaches here are pretty good and
there is more open space than elsewhere in the area, although
few sights and attractions as such and for the traveler this is
a little far out to be convenient for a long stay.
