We can say that for the first time in Hong Kong I made by accident. I never thought about this town and about the city. Just the other day my husband planned a very short, just one week, vacation.
I fell in love with Hong Kong almost immediately and I can explain why. Everyone in this town arranged for people here incredibly comfortable. Perhaps that is why the locals are relaxed and friendly.
In Hong Kong has an excellent public transport system to get anywhere, very easily. Perhaps the cheapest and most convenient way to travel – metro. The subway is very convenient, getting lost is impossible. The cost of the trip will depend on the range tickets can be purchased at vending machines. For even more convenience right at the airport you can buy an octopus card, with which to pay for public transport fares (metro, buses, trams). It should be noted that the cost of a taxi is also quite acceptable.
In Hong Kong almost the entire population speaks English, so you will not have difficulties in communication. All names are also duplicated in English.
Airport
Even at the airport on special racks for tourists you can take a map of Hong Kong English. Here are the main attractions, hotels, shops, restaurants and a metro map. With such a map, any guide services you do not need.
In Hong Kong we tend to settle in the city center, near the metro stations Central, Admiralty or Wanchai. It's beautiful, lots of shops, cafes and restaurants and enjoy the convenient access to different parts of the city, as art Central is a hub.
Metro
In Hong Kong save space, so be prepared for the fact that the hotel room will be very small in size and not particularly pretty. The prices for hotels are not Asian: the cost of accommodation in a four star hotel start from 100 euros per night. If you are going to Hong Kong in the summer, it is better to choose a hotel with an outdoor pool, so where to cool off and sunbathe.
Hong Kong is just a great place for a Shopaholic. It is here necessary to go to buy things of famous brands with good discounts. The best place for this CityGate Outlets at metro Tung Chung.
Stores
Victoria Peak
Definitely worth a visit Victoria Peak and Ocean Park, take a trip to the Big Buddha statue on a very long cable car (if you don't mind the money, it is best to take a cabin with a transparent floor), go to the Avenue of stars and watch the laser show.
Ocean Park
Although, I admit, personally, we show disappointed, nothing big we saw. Many people dream to get to Disneyland, but be prepared to pay a tidy sum for the ticket
Disneyland
The Park itself is not very big, but cute. Here exactly like children, but those who are older it is better to spend the money on a trip to Ocean Park. We liked the Museum of science, which is not very much written in reviews online. However, this was a really interesting place, and here the fun both children and adults. Of course, visiting all these tourist places be prepared for very large queues. Ideally, you should go there on weekdays.
If you came to Hong Kong in the summer, you should go to one of the beaches. They are very clean and comfortable, and the safety of tourists watching the rescuers.
In conclusion, I can say that every time I come to Hong Kong, I discover something new. And every time I want to come back here again. Be sure to come to Hong Kong!
