Sightseeing In Hong Kong

By Jonny Blair


Backpacking in China can also take you to Hong Kong. This colossal place has so many sights it will keep you occupied for hours and days. You can do it on a budget too and there is a huge history here. From cultural, religious and natural history up to the present day, this is a great city.

Here are some of the really cool top spots and sights in Hong Kong:

The skyline in Hong Kong is epic. It's widely regarded as the number one skyline on the planet, eclipsing even New York and Singapore. You'll want to check out an awesome view of Hong Kong and the best places to do that are the Peak, Tsim Sha Tsui and Kowloon waterfront. Amazing city!

Get yourself over to Lantau Island when you are touring Hong Kong as here sits the big Buddha. This is a massive statue worth checking out. You can even do it on a tight budget by walking up to it instead of taking the cable car. It does get very busy at times and offers tremendous views over the skyline and outlying islands of Hong Kong.

Don't just think that Hong Kong is all about big skyscrapers and a bustling city. There are some really awesome quiet spots to check out the city too!! These get you away from the noise and busy business lifestyle. Nan Lian Garden is the perfect spot to relax away from the crazy busy streets of the Kong!

You also have Hong Kong Park. Yes in amongst the madness and mayhem is a massive park where there are birds, trees and butterflies. This place has tea shops and cafes and is a good place to relax while on Hong Kong island. There is a man made waterfall within too and you can chill out there. Don't believe that Hong Kong is all about skyscrapers.

Dragon's Back is a hiking trail that offers some of the best sights of the city. This easy to moderate climb takes just a couple of hours and allows visitors to see the city from a different perspective. The scenery is quite breathtaking and there is the option to continue hiking to Big Wave Beach for further fun.

I totally recommend going backpacking or travelling in Hong Kong!
