Let’s experience Hong Kong
Every destination offers escape, each one different from the other. For us Filipinos, one of the most welcome escapes is the one we can enjoy with our families, loved ones or friends. Hong Kong is such a place, as the city has something to offer for all types of travelers, may it be a family with kids, a group of friends or a couple hoping to get a quick romantic getaway. For some blue-eyed traveler, Hong Kong offers a memorable but diverse experience - a city that is steeped in tradition and yet surrounded by the most modern of skyscrapers. Now, let's have a short list of something that you can expect when you visit Hong Kong, shall we?
Sights
Let the city do its introduction by going to Victoria Peak, perhaps its most popular attraction. In fact, it is so popular that when you get back to the country, you'll most probably hear somebody ask you "Did you go to the Peak? How did you find it?"
Although it sounds like it is a high point, the Peak is actually a collection of attractions, which includes the Sky Terrace 428 which provides a 360-degree view of Hong Kong, delivering the expectations you get from the term "The Peak". And while you're there, don't forget to ride the Peak Tram, an interesting railway that rises to around 1,300 feet above sea level. In fact, when you're aboard, buildings will appear tilted! Of course there are shopping and dining options at the Peak as well, something that makes it truly a Hong Kong destination.
Shops
Hong Kong is a shopping mecca, offering everything from the lowest to the highest price points. If you want to take the high road, that is, the high-end road, then you can go to the clusters of shops that cater to luxury shoppers. On the other hand, if you are after great bargain finds, then brace yourself for a shopping experience that is borderline adventure.
The Temple Street Night Market has everything you want in a cheap thrill yet ironically rich shopping experience. Haggle as much as you can with these stores to stretch your budget even more.
Side trips
Did you know that Hong Kong is actually a peninsula with hundreds of islands? And you thought it's just a concrete jungle with shops and restaurants! It would be a unique experience if aside from going to the hole in the wall restaurants and finding the cheapest yet most beautiful top, you also get to experience Hong Kong in its natural beauty. Cap your trip by going to Macau to make it even better and more valuable! After all, it might be a while before you book a promo fare flight to an international destination, so make sure that you also get to experience this rustic Portuguese city nearby.
