Victoria Peak is the highest mountain on Hong Kong island. Known locally as ‘The Peak’, Victoria Peak offers up excellent views (over Central, Victoria Harbour and Lamma Island), shopping and dining – particularly from Peak Tower. The best way to reach Victoria’s Peak is to travel by the Peak Tram, which is one of the world’s oldest and most famous funicular trains!
Macau seamlessly blends Portuguese architecture with Chinese culture and offers a unique charm, world class hotels and resorts, shopping malls and exhibition venues, presenting something for everyone to enjoy. The night views of Macau are spectacular and the Macau International fireworks display contest, and dragon boat races are not to be missed.
After the sun has set in Hong Kong, the popular street bazaar of Temple Street comes to life with traders, opera singers and fortune tellers. It is named after the Tin Hau temple located in the centre of the market. The market offers everything from antiques and trinkets to electronics and traditional Chinese cuisine cooked on the spot. Temple Street Market is a prime example of the theatre and festivity of Chinese culture.
Founded in 1888, The Star Ferry is second to none for a Victoria Harbour cruise. It carries over 70,000 passengers a day across the harbour which divides Hong Kong Island and Kowloon and is the largest harbour in China. This mode of crossing is inexpensive and more widely chosen than the railways and road tunnels, most likely due to the panoramic views and wonderful light affect from the skyscrapers at night.
