Travel Hong Kong City

Hong Kong is home to over 7 million people. It is a major trading & banking middle & has the most liberal economy on the planet. Hong Kong is & a great tourist location for there's lots of things to do & see.
In the event you need a workout, think about climbing the 431 steps of the Temple of 10,000 Buddhas which houses 12,800 statues of the Buddha & a mummy of a holy man covered in gold leaf.
Or you could try 268 steps to Giant Buddha on Lantau Island which is home to the world’s largest seated Buddha. Experience a pleasant lunch at the Polin Monastery before making your way back down the 110 foot height.
Plenty of spectacular museums can be found on Kowloon Peninsula which is across from Hong Kong Island. You can basically stroll along the neighborhood & soak up the elderly world ambiance of Hong Kong which is much the same it's been for 200 years. The Hong Kong Heritage Museum is a grand art museum which houses Chinese art in its various forms from comics to opera, paintings, & sculpture. The Lei Cheng UK Branch Museum has a Han Dynasty tomb which is 2000 years elderly, but still young compared to a number of the 4000 year elderly history elsewhere in China. You will also find the Hong Kong Science Museum & the Space Museum & planetarium.
Next you can take the famous Star Ferry boat ride over to Hong Kong Island & see the ancient Chinese art at the Hong Kong Museum of Art. It holds over 2000 antique pieces.
When you are prepared to relax, head to Hong Kong Park in the Central district where you can stroll through the aviary or sit by the pond & enjoy a meal from an open air restaurant. Enjoy a leisurely walk to the Hong Kong Zoological & Botanical Gardens then take a taxi to the tram which goes up to Victoria Peak. This tram will take you by the homes of the elite in Hong Kong which are nestled in to the steep mountain. You can enjoy the view they see from the balcony of their $10 million homes which encompasses Hong Kong & the harbor below.
If seen by day or night, the panoramic view of ancient hills, reflective harbor, & city skyscrapers is not duplicated anywhere else on earth, & is surely a sight to keep in mind of one of the world’s greatest cities.
