perfection!

[09/01/2009] I was taken to Feather Boa by a friend who had lived in Hong Kong for half a year and it is a great lounge bar that it seems that noone knows about. To find the place is the first mission, the place is very hard to find and doesn't look like anything from the outside. Down a sidestreet where there is not much else going on, when you find it you have to go through a curtain to get into the bar. Now they say that it is an exclusive members bar, but we weren't members and still got in. I have to say that it was the first place that we went to on a night out and were there at around 8, at that t [more]

Temple street Night Market

Hong Kong

90%

very good

[08/01/2009] Temple Street is located in Kowloon, in between Jordan and Yau Ma Street. I was staying in Mong Kok and it was only a short walk to get from my hotel to Temple Street Market. There are many things that you can buy at the Temple Street Market; however everything you can buy is fake. You can get copy watches, copy handbags, copy football shirts / t-shirts etc. Your negotiation skills cannot be rusty when you want to buy something here, as part of the fun is trying to get the best price for what you want. If you go early then you have the best chance of getting a good deal because the store keeper [more]

Happy Valley Racecourse

Hong Kong

92%

excellent

[08/01/2009] After going out for dinner on a Wednesday night in Hong Kong we decided to head over to Happy Valley Racecourse to see some horse races. I have never really been fond of betting, so I wasnt so happy about the idea, but I left Happy Valley Racecourse with a completely different impression. It costs 10 Hong Kong Dollars to enter the stadium to get into the Public Stand. The feeling when you enter the stadium is completely indescribable. There is a stand to the left and the racetrack to the right and behind the racetrack you have a beautiful view of the skyline of Hong Kong. Happy Valley Racecou [more]

Ngong Ping Cable Car

Hong Kong

97%

excellent

[08/01/2009] When I was in Hong Kong I used the cable car to get from Tung Chung Town Centre to Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, in order to see Tian Tun Buddha. Have to say that the day that we decided to go to Lantau it wasnt the warmest of days and I would definitely recommend to cover up a bit more if you plan on using the cable car, as it can get pretty chilly when you get going. It costs 11 Hong Kong Dollars for a round-trip and $7.50 one-way. I chose to just go one way and took a taxi from Tian Tun Buddha to explore Lantau Island. The ride takes around 25 minutes and gives you some great views over Hong [more]

The Peak Tram

Hong Kong

88%

very good

[08/01/2009] In order to get to Victoria Peak you have to take the Peak Tram. The Peak Tram is easily accessible and is a short walk from the MTR Central station. The Peak Tram rises from 28m to 396m above sea level along a 1.4 km track with a gradient of between 4 to 27 degrees. It definitely isnt the most comfortable ride, the seat are made from wood and you feel like you are being hauled up the mountain the whole way up, hoping that you wont drop down. You do however feel like you have gone back in time, the railway was opened in 1888 and considering the age of the railway it does seem amazing that it [more]

Tian Tan Buddha

Hong Kong

91%

perfection!

[07/01/2009] When on the tourist trail in Hong Kong the Tian Tun Buddha is one of the highlights. We took the cable car there from Tung Chung Town Centre to Ngong Ping, Lantau Island. When reaching the Buddha you first have to walk through walk past a lot of souvenir shops, but when you get to Tian Tun Buddha you have over 250 steps to walk up to have a closer look. We were lucky that the day we were there it was only 20 degrees, but I would recommend either going early in the morning or late in the afternoon if you plan on walking up all of the stairs on a hot day. The Buddha is magnificent when you see [more]

Star Ferry

Hong Kong

87%

excellent

[07/01/2009] There are two ways to get from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island, you can either take the MTR or the Star Ferry. It costs around the same as taking the MTR, however it is a completely different experience. From Kowloon to Hong Kong Island it takes less than 10 minutes and the ferry leaves very frequently throughout the day enabling you to have stunning views of the Hong Kong Skyline from the water. The easy option is to use the MTR and taxis when in Hong Kong, the Star Ferry is used by tourists and locals and allows you to see Hong Kong from a different perspective. I took one of the last ferries [more]

The Peak Hong Kong

Hong Kong

90%

excellent

[07/01/2009] If you are spending a couple of days in Hong Kong, going up to Victoria Peak cannot be missed to see the Hong Kong skyline. Make sure that you go on a day with good weather; otherwise the visibility is not so great! In order to get up to the top you take the peak tram which takes you up the mountain at a 90 degree angle the whole way. The best time to go is just before sunset when you can take pictures of the skyline in light and dark (try to get there at least half an hour before sunset otherwise the queues to get on the peak tram get really long) it costs around 3 pounds to get return ticke [more]

Harbour

Hong Kong

90%

[07/01/2009] With the Harbour Hotel you definitely get what you pay for, however in comparison to other hotels in Hong Kong the Harbour Hotel is not a bad place to stay if you are on a budget. I stayed in Hong Kong for 4 days and needed a cheap place to stay and the Harbour Hotel was the best option within my price range. I shared a room with 2 friends of mine and the room was basically only big enough for 3 beds. We had to put our backpacks in a small area between the beds and the door, but I have to say that we were warned by the staff about this fact before we paid for the room ‘the room very small, th [more]
