Victoria Harbour<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Victoria Harbour is a natural landform harbor which offers scenic views and has a variety of things to do in proximity. Some of the most beautiful skylines of Hong Kong are taken from Victoria Harbour. Riding the Star Ferry, enjoying the Avenue of Stars or shopping at the Harbor City Mall are examples of activities to do while touring this harbor.<\/p>\n

\"Victoria<\/p>\n

Nan Lian Garden<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Built in the style of the Tang dynasty, this Classical Chinese Garden is a scenic public park and garden where all elements were carefully arranged. Everything has been placed according to specific rules and method to create a perfect balance between nature and the environment. Exhibitions of Chinese timber architectures, old rocks, and potted plants, teahouses and restaurants are all available to be experienced in the Nan Lian Garden.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong Observation Wheel<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With a height of 60 meters, the Hong Kong Observation Wheel is one of the most popular touristic attraction as it expects approximately one million riders every year. With 42 luxurious gondolas and comfortable seats inside the wheel, it is a must to get stunning day and night views of the Victoria Harbour. Around the wheel, there is a plaza with places to eat and drink. It’s also where events are held.<\/p>\n

Spring Lantern Festival<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Spring Lantern Festival only happens once a year, on the 15th day of the first Chinese lunar month. During this festival, Hong Kong is decorated with colorful lanterns hung in parks, flower markets and restaurants. Defined by many as the Chinese equivalent of Valentine\u2019s Day, the way Hong Kong is transformed for the event is definitely worth seeing.<\/p>\n

\"Chinese<\/p>\n

Lantau Island<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Located at the mouth of the Pearl River, Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong, where people can enjoy Buddhist architecture, a mall of shopping outlets and even a long sandy beach. The island is not only a great experience to see another side of Hong Kong, but is also easy to get to and is considered the most natural parkland.<\/p>\n

Ham Tin Wan<\/strong><\/h2>\n

One of Hong Kong\u2019s favorite and best-kept secret, Ham Tin Wan is one of the four beaches in Tai Long Wan, a 3-kilometer-wide bay located on the east coast of the Sai Kung Peninsula. With powdery sand and clear water, this well-preserved beach is the perfect escape from the big city.<\/p>\n
