China’s rich history and ancient culture make it one of the most memorable travel destinations in the world. One of the most popular attractions Hong Kong has to offer is Victoria Peak featuring Peak Tower and Peak Tram. Although the view is gorgeous enough to inspire every kind of traveler, couples especially can enjoy a romantic night looking out into the scenic view of Hong Kong from the Tower. Lantau Island allows visitors to make a trip to Ngong Pin where the Giant Buddha and Po Lin Monastery are situated and enjoy a small meal at the top of the 259 steps. From here, a trip to the fishing village of Tai O is not too far off and gives visitors the chance to look at what old rural China might have been like. Hong Kong is also home to Ocean Park, a majestic theme park which contains marine animals and different species of rare birds and butterflies. Have any problems that you’re seeking guidance for? A visit to Wong Tai Sin Temple is a great place to observe the Taoist worshiping rituals of the Chinese and have your fortunes told. If the excitement of the city is not enough for you, then the Sha Tin Racecourse just might do the trick. However, beware that children under 18 are not allowed. Also, the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defense might offer all members of the family a great insight into the history of militant China.
One must see destination for travelers is the Forbidden City of Beijing. Over 250 acres and over 9000 rooms give this monumental palace a foreboding air that is sure to inspire the imaginations of all visitors. All travelers will appreciate this glimpse into China’s opulent history. If you’re in China at the right time, perhaps you can catch a parade at the famous Tiananmen Square, where Chairman Mao first declared the establishment of the People's Republic of China.
If you’re looking for a five-star experience during your stay in Hong Kong, the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong is well worth the money. With rooms boasting magnificent views of the harbor, a hospitable and exceptionally trained staff, and an air of elegance this hotel will spoil you rotten. However, if you don’t want to break the bank, the Holiday Inn Central Plaza in Beijing is an amazing bargain.
