Ascend slowly over the famous sky line of Hong Kong in an air filled balloon and the chances are these fifteen minutes are going to be one of the most memorable moments of your journey to the city. There is no earthly reason to miss the enormous DHL balloon that can be spotted right from the Victoria harbor and no reason likewise to miss a tour of the city afforded from the balloon.
This attractive prospect of looking over the city of Hong Kong was preceded by similar but more expensive and noisy attempts and options such as helicopter rides. The DHL Hong Kong Balloon is indeed an excellent way to enjoy the famous sky line of the city especially the ravishing view of the Victoria Harbour. It also affords the breathtaking view of the west Kowloon. The balloon ride is also included in See Hong Kong pass which is a special sightseeing pass.
This 22 metre wide balloon holds its passengers in a netted basket which is shaped like a huge ring, which makes it possible for passengers to wander about during the upward journey. There is also opportunity to look below through the centre of that ring. The ascent of the tour is slow and rises to about 100 metres above the city. The ride roughly takes up about 10 to 15 minutes which is more than adequate for the keen photographers. It is indeed an excellent opportunity to get some fabulous shots over the city. The breeze blowing through and glimpse of the city below makes this ride appealing to the senses, better than a view from any other sky scraper in Hong Kong. It definitely adds up much to one’s experience of Hong Kong and its many memorable attractions.
Hospitality trade in the city is indeed a thriving industry with so much to offer for the international traveler, especially those who are looking for a Hong Kong boutique hotel with a superb ambience and a splendid view. With sleek interiors lined here and there with some bold colours and modern conveniences assembled within a spacious living space, the Cosmo Hotel is a truly impressive abode for the discerning traveler. From a shuttle service to the nearest city attractions to an assembly of latest communication devices indoors, this 4 Star hotel Hong Kong throws its contemporaries into the shade with the premier services it offers to its privileged clientele.
