Spending time in Hong Kong

I love spending time in Hong Kong.

I thought Hong Kong was going to be dirty city- like tons of exhaust in the air, clutter in the gutters, and smoke everywhere- that type of dirty. That is what large cities are usually like because there are so many people, cars, and just…stuff. Hong Kong surprised me, because it was really nice and clean.

I love walking down along the boardwalk. You get a great waterfront view of the city. If you want, you can ride across the water on a ferries or other boats.

Don’t miss out on the nightly laser show. When I was there during Christmas it was choreographed to Christmas music which was really festive. The light show reminded me of the Belgaio Fountains in Las Vegas or fireworks on the fourth of July- both unique and quite entertaining. You definitely don’t want to miss the laser show- make sure you are on time for it because it gets really crowed right before the show starts!

Also along the boardwalk is the Hollywood walk of stars, which has the hand prints of famous movie stars. Jackie Chan and Jet Li even have stars there.

There are many restaurants that will tempt you and different events that keep the boardwalk always an exciting spot to spend time at.
