Hong Kong, an autonomous region of the People’s Republic of China, is a city for many reasons such as meeting Chinese culture, watching skyscraper views, getting to know Buddhism. It is one of the first places to be preferred by those who plan a far east tour. I created a Places to visit in Hong Kong list by describing the places that must be seen during the Hong Kong trip under the headings under the regions they are located in.. Even if you are going with a company that makes a Far east tour, you will find that some of the sights I have described are not included in the Hong Kong tour itinerary, so it is important to have prior knowledge and during the free times given or if you do not plan to attend. It is better to go on your own instead of the extra tours.
You can read about Hong Kong, visa, currency, rainy season, shopping, transportation in my HONG KONG TRAVEL GUIDE article.
KOWLOON REGION
First of all, let me say that I recommend you to recommend the Kowloon area for Hong Kong accommodation, so I did. You can make the reservation without paying any fee and with extra options such as free cancellation, on booking.com, click to review the hotels in Kowloon.
To visit Kowloon Nathan You can start from the street named Road. There are lots of Chinese neon signs and classic Asian photos, and this street is that place; There are many options such as cafes, restaurants, shopping opportunities, exchange offices.
Then, walk to the beach on Nathan Street and see the Avenue of Stars signs. follow. Or, if you are coming from a distant location, take the MTR off at East Tsim Sha Tsui stop and head towards Avenue of Stars.

Clock Tower, Hong Kong Cultural Center, Hong Kong Many interesting museums such as Space Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong Science Museum and Hong Kong Museum of History are also here. You can start traveling in accordance with what you are interested in.. For example, I’ve heard that the zero gravity environment at the Space Museum is interesting, but I didn’t have time to go.
The view of Hong Kong Island opposite and the glittering skyscrapers will impress you, especially if you come in the evening.. We hardly know any of the star owners on the ground but luckily there are some celebrities we do know like Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Bruce Lee.. Of course, you have to look at all of them to find their stars Also, don’t miss the Bruce Lee statue.

You can take a boat tour in the bay if you want, as far as I know there are alternatives with dinner and music. But; If you’ve heard a sentence like “There’s a great laser show, you have to take a boat tour to watch it”, I would say don’t get on the boat just because I’ll see the laser show.. What they call a laser show is nothing more than a bullshit, where two skyscrapers opposite each other shine a light on each other and flash the laser according to the music playing at the time, I was very disappointed So the Chinese were waiting with their cameras to watch it and some tourists were waiting for this ‘show’. I couldn’t understand why he was giving money to specially prepared building tops.. If you come across it, watch it anyway, it was held at 19:00 in the evening when I was there.. You can ask for information about the laser show time from the hotel you are staying at, or you can search it on the internet.
After walking along Avenue of Stars and photographing the magnificent view, then Temple Street you can go to. Here you will find the famous Chinese Market, open until 12 pm this Sunday. Whatever you look for in the market, it will be the right address for gifts to buy for friends and friends.
I marked the places I described in the article on the subway map (MTR). , the service is unlimited
For shopping in Hong Kong, the Mong Kok stop in Kowloon should be one of your first addresses. When I first heard it, I thought “We gave the name of Hong Kong a fake so that it would be understood that we sell fake Chinese made products”, and I found the name Mong Kok funny For example, Ladies Market will please the ladies with products such as colorful clothes and bags.. The Temple Street Night Market, known as the night market from the street markets in Hong Kong, is open until late at night.. You can reach Kowloon by walking if you take the right direction from the other places I have mentioned, or you can go directly by getting off at the Jordan stop on the red line of the metro.
General rule for shopping; believe in the power of bargaining and do your best to lower prices by more than half. Around one-third of the first quoted price, you can usually consider it normal.
