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.

Let's have a look at some of the top sights in Hong Kong:

The skyline in Hong Kong is epic. It's widely regarded as the number one skyline on the planet, eclipsing even New York and Singapore. You'll want to check out an awesome view of Hong Kong and the best places to do that are the Peak, Tsim Sha Tsui and Kowloon waterfront. Amazing city!

Over on Lantau Island check out the Big Buddha! This is a major sight and really needs to be seen. Backpackers on a budget can hike up to it, while a cable car is also an option. Views are immense and this is a top tourist spot. Tourists from all over the world love it here.

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!

The Hong Kong Park is an attraction in the middle of the city that offers multiple activities and sights. Walk through the aviary to see beautiful birds and butterflies or take a trip to the zoo. There is a Tai Chi garden for a moment of peace and quiet and also a tea ware museum and view tower. The man made waterfall and lake are beautiful, with fish and turtles to see.

In terms of hiking and scenic walks, Hong Kong also offers a lot in this regard. One of the best hiking trails is known as the dragon's back. This is on Hong Kong island. It tests the muscles and also offers scintillating views over the splendid city and countryside and further out to sea.

I totally recommend going backpacking or travelling in Hong Kong!
