Hong Kong is like no other destination. It's a cross between Cantonese China with a touch of Britian from its colonial past. Today it's a huge destination for Asian tourism but it comes at a price. It's up there as one of the most expensive Asian places to visit but don't let that deter you from spending your holidays in Hong Kong, the culture and nature of this place will certainly impress.

Essentials in Hong Kong

Victoria Peak: The best views of Hong Kong are by far from the Victoria Peak Tower. The Peak has been home to the most affluent and rich since the British colonisation and there is plenty of high-ranking restaurants, museums and shopping malls to keep you busy during the day. Take the Peak Tram up to the tower.

New Territories: For a taste of Hong Kong's traditional heritage, head to to the New Territories and hike the Ping Shan Heritage Trail which will take you past some remarkable ancient sights along the way. Take a Hong Kong car hire there, since it's quite a jaunt from the city.

Hong Kong Museum of History: This museum is located in Kowloon and is one of the best museums in Hong Kong so if you only see one while you're on holidays in Hong Kong, make it this one. There is even a life-size recreation of a colonial street inside! Hands-on interaction is encouraged.

Lantau Island: Hong Kong isn't all skyscrapers and shopping malls, it has some impressive nature as well. Lantau Island is twice the size of Hong Kong Island and is worth visiting for the beaches, traditional monasteries and quaint fishing villages along the coasts.
