The ‘Pearl of the Orient’ dazzles with an array of attractions that will be sure to captivate the hearts and minds of its visitors….Yes, Hong Kong does have a lot to offer. From fun-filled theme parks to magnificent temples and of course the world-famous light decorations that gives its nickname, the Pearl of the Orient truly does shine.
One of the reasons that Hong Kong is such a family-friendly holiday destination is that it is a haven for theme parks. And Ocean Park is one of its major theme parks. If you’re in search of Hong Kong hotels that are conveniently located, the Cosmopolitan Hotel Hong Kong that’s within 15 minutes distance to the park is an ideal choice as the hotel offers some amazing Hong Kong hotel discounts. Ocean Park has some pretty awesome shows that range from cute Dolphin performances, the thrilling shark aquarium and the spectacular Ocean Theater. Head over to Hong Kong Disneyland, one of the other major theme parks of the city, and say hello to your childhood heroes, Mickey Mouse and his friends!
Wong Tai Sin Temple is where you can experience the past glory of Hong Kong, see fine oriental art and get your fortune told at the same time! This ancient Taoist temple is famous for not only its opulent decorations that are in traditional Chinese temple style; but also for its many soothsayers and fortune-telling stalls.
It’s at night when the ‘Pearl of the Orient’ truly shines. The night view of the world’s 3rd largest harbor (China’s largest) is a sight to behold. And this sight can best be viewed from Victoria Peak that at 554 meters is the highest point within Hong Kong. The moment when you set your eyes on sparkling beams of multicolored light, will surely be one of the most memorable moments in Hong Kong…
