Nature and futuristic buildings, breathtaking views and avant-garde shopping centers.
The charm of Hong Kong all lies in the profound contradictions that have made it one of the main cities in the world to visit, the point where east and west meet, where the super modern metropolis intertwines with tradition.
There is certainly no shortage of attractions and there are so many things to do in the city!

Look, just nip out from wherever you're staying and begin walking in the streets in whatever direction looks interesting to you. Just keep walking and walking and walking and when you feel like it, hop onto a bus or tram or whatever that looks interesting to you. Keep looking around you all the time, at the shops, restaurants, things, people, absolutely everything around you. I guarantee you THAT is the authentic Hong Kong experience. I should know, I have pretty much been here all my life. Have a great time!

The first Disneyland opened in July 1955 & is located in Anaheim, California (USA). Next was Tokyo Disneyland opening in April 1983. Paris Disneyland was the third park to carry the Disneyland brand. HK Disneyland opened in September 2005 and was the 4th park to carry the Disneyland brand. Prior to major renovations, the Castle at HK Disneyland was a duplicate of one at California (Anaheim) Disneyland. The park is a joint venture between Hong Kong International Theme Parks Ldt (which the HK Government is a share holder) and The Walt Disney Company.

Disneyland in Anaheim, CA was first, but Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL opened second in 1971. Tokyo Disneyland was the first international park, followed by EuroDisney (now Disneyland Paris), Hong Kong Disneyland, and more recently Shanghai Disneyland. Every location, except Hong Kong and Shanghai, have at least one additional theme park as part of its resort.

You should absolutely visit the Buddha, just do it on a good weather day, it’s amazing. Also the Peak tram is really good & the views up there are amazing too. Just be careful of the wavy floor on the tram. I think it’s to stop things rolling backwards on the floor when going up the steep tracks. Have fun, we loved HK

Hey, the YT algorithm bring me to this video, as a Hong Kong, I definitely agree with your warning, also, the problem of taxi service is not only the traffic jam, it is also involved cheating and refusing passengers who want to take a short trip. Although Uber is not fully legal and expensive, the service seem better than taxi so that it is quite popular
