If you have ever been to New York, you might've thought that this is it, this is as fast paced an urban life gets. But be ready to be startled by the fast paced life of Hong Kong. “A New York minute is a Hong Kong second” this is a famous saying that you'll hear since the day 1 when you arrive here in the energy oozing, distinctive and thrilling city of 7 million people. The list of things to do while on a Hong Kong tour package starts off with shopping and goes on with things like sightseeing, photography, adventure and having dim sum. Below is a rather more elaborative list of things that you must do while you're on a Hong Kong tour package.
Enjoy the view from Victoria Peak
This is arguably the most preferred and the most famous attraction in the whole city. It is so beautiful up there that it is said if you only have to see one thing in the whole Hong Kong you should still choose to see the spectacular views from the top of the Victoria Peak. The peak is perched up at a whooping height of 1,805 feet above the sea level and offers the best possible views of Kowloon, Hong Kong Island and on very clear days, Kowloon’s eight mountains. You will have to decide for yourself that whether you want to enjoy this beauty in the daytime or the night time, it is a long going tie between the number of admirers of either times.
Hit the street markets
These street markets of Hong Kong are so full, that anything and everything that you wish to buy can be found here. The Ladies market is a heaven for shopping clothing and accessories with over 100 stalls. The Cat street is renowned for antiques and souvenirs, Temple Street Night market is known for its wide variety from noodles to watches, Fa Yuen Street also know as sneakers street and Apliu Street market for electronics. There are even other markets for birds, goldfishes, flowers, kitchenware, jade, etc.
Hike on the Dragon’s back
Not literally though, but Dragon’s back is a famous part of the well known Hong Kong trails that passes through 5 country parks on the Hong Kong Island. This trail is 31 miles long and is a treat for nature and hike loving locals and visitors. Away from the busy cities of Hong Kong, this place is a perfect place to slow down the pace of your Hong Kong tour package a little bit.
Visit historic temples
Apart from all the fast paced lifestyle Hong Kong flaunts, it still has a lot of historic temples that date well before the British occupation. Man Mo is the oldest temple in the city and is dedicated to the Taoist god. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery is also an experience to take part in. Once you're done climbing the 400 steps, you'll reach the temple which has about 13,000 Gold ceramic statuettes, which is more than what the temple’s name promises.
