One of the most recognizable cities in the world, Hong Kong has a gravitational pull for cultural sites adorning mountainsides, urban parks, remarkable cuisines, double-decker trams for sightseeing, and night markets encircling a world-renowned financial center. Americans find comfort in the dual Chinese and English signage and the cleanliness of public transport. Though small in number, you can find Black folks here. The city managed to attract Disneyland too. — Soul Of America<\/p>\n

Victoria Harbor features photogenic spots, particularly the West Kowloon Cultural District. Admire Tsim Sha Tsui Waterfront Promenade, the multimedia light show “A Symphony of Lights”, International Financial Centre, and the Hong Kong Observation Wheel via a water taxi. There\u2019s a surprising number of picnic spots available in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

West Kowloon\u2019s Art Park offers top-notch harbor views and green lawns, as well as food trucks from time to time. The route covers iconic attractions along Victoria Harbour, including Golden Bauhinia Square, and the Hong Kong Palace Museum. A ride on a double-decker tram gives you scenic views of Kowloon District for less than cost than a cup of coffee. It’s a must-do way to explore the Pearl of the Orient.<\/p>\n

There are lots of additional spots nestled in the city center, such as Victoria Peak Garden and Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park. And if you don’t mind crowds, the best time to visit is during the Chinese New Year.<\/p>\n
