Hong Kong hat viel Sehenwertes zu bieten, nur einige Highlights sind:

Kulturelle Highlights

The Peak: The (Victoria) Peak is at 552 meters the highest mountain in Hong Kong and offers a brilliant view of the city. One can easily take the Peak Tram to the top of the Peak. Alternatively, cheaper but at least as spectacular, is the trip taken with the double decker bus, line 15, taken directly from the metro station “Admirality”. Especially at night this provides a wonderful skyline panorama.

The Tian Tan Buddha: the largest and most beautiful religious building in Hong Kong is the "Big Buddha" Ngong Ping (昂坪) in the Po Lin Monastery on Lantau Island. It is easily accessible by metro and the cable car Ngong Ping 360. It is especially impressive from a distance.

The double decker trams in Hong Kong (Island) are very special. They seem like a relic from another time in the midst of all the skyscrapers. With 2 HK$ they are a cheap means of transport, used daily by hundreds of thousands.

With the Star Ferry, one can have a very nice commute between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It is an especially nice experience in the night.

Near the metro station (MTR) Wan Chai, many Hong Kong people like to go shopping. Sogo and the Hong Kong Times Square are just two of the countless great places to go shopping in this area. As with the whole of Hong Kong, this neighborhood is particularly interesting during evening rush hour. Hidden within the small streets, you can find especially tasty restaurants. Very close to Sogo, you can also find the Bermar Hill Express (bus), which travels to the mountains of Hong Kong Island. Similar to the peak, you can see the skyline from here, but there are no tourists.

At the subway station Admiralty is the impressive financial district. Found there is the most famous skyscraper, the Bank of China Tower, one of the landmarks of Hong Kong.

The Temple Street Night Market in Mong Kok, Kowloon. By nightfall, the famous night market opens, where you can find both everything you need and do not need. T-shirts to watches and cell phone accessories are there, everything's possible. Haggling is required!

The Hong Kong Disneyland is yet another way to spend a beautiful day in the city.

LONGUA can offer you advice on other questions as well as find you a guide or a translator.

Accommodation

Hong Kong offers something for every price range. Like everywhere else in the world, the big hotel chains are represented. There are also youth hostels, which one can easily find on the Internet. A specialty of Hong Kong are small hidden guest houses, which can only be found by recommendation. They are very cheap and clean, starting at 200 HK$. Longua would be happy to help you with that.

Transportation

Transportation
Hong Kong can be easily reached by subway from mainland China (Shenzhen), by plane (other countries) or by boat from Macau.
In Hong Kong itself, the best way to get around is through the underground. This is very quick and very inexpensive compared to other major cities. Alternatively, there is in Victoria (Hong Kong Island), the tram (2 HK$), which connects the most interesting places with each other. Buses are also very cheap, but one should always ask the locals where to go because there are many bus routes. If you want to go to a place where there is no public transport, you can simply take a taxi. It's not very expensive and it is much faster and more convenient. In addition, there are more taxis than in Europe.

For travel between the two special economic zones, Hong Kong and Macao, there is a ferry every 15 minutes, with a journey time of approximately one hour.

Das ifc ist der neue Verkehrsknotenpunkt Hong Kongs. Die wichtigsten U-Bahnen laufen hier zusammen und auch die extrem schnelle Verbindung mit dem Flughafen Lap Chek Kok (nur 15 Min.) startet hier. Die Fähre nach Macao ist auch nicht weit. Zudem gibt es hier ein modernes Shoppingcenter mit allem, was das Herz begehrt.
Um von Hong Kong in das benachbarte Shenzhen zu fahren sollte man am besten die U-Bahn in Richtung Lo Wu / Luo Hu oder Fook Tin / Fu Tian nehmen. Das geht am schnellsten und billigsten. Ein Ausflug dorthin lohnt sich vor allem für Shopping-Begeisterte. Das Gebiet um die Shenzhener Station Lao Jie ist ein Muss!

Freizeit/Essen

Essen

Hong Kong bietet unzählige Möglichkeiten an Essen. Die kantonesische Küche gilt als eine der abwechslungsreichsten der Welt und ist berühmt für ihre Gerichte. Man sagt, dass die Kantonesen einfach alles essen. Man sollte einfach testen, schlechte Gerichte existieren in Hong Kong einfach nicht! Bei der großen Variation findet jeder, wonach er sucht. Ein besonderes Muss sind dabei die vielen kleinen Straßenrestaurants, in denen man bis spät in die Nacht essen kann.
