A Few Hours in Hong Kong

Well if you only have a few hours to enjoy the city before you head in for a good nights sleep at one of Hong Kong’s comfortable hotels than you may be trying to find a place were you can see a lot for a little amount of time. There are some places you can visit but one of the popular areas is Tsim Sha Tsui. There are many nice places to shop in this area of town. They have all the nice designer stores and local flair. There area plenty of places to eat and enjoy a cocktail or two while you relax from the stresses of travel. There are many locals that hang out in the area as well which always tells me something when I am traveling to somewhere new. I like to go where the locals go in hopes of getting the best of the city and country.

Also in the Tsim Sha Tsui area you will find some great cultural attractions. If you are there during the day time you may want to get out and see some history and culture. The Hong Kong Museum of Art has a very large exhibit with over 14,000 pieces. You can have a chance to see the heritage of the Chinese people from ancient China times to current modern times. The ornate Chinese calligraphy is always interesting. They also have a Hong Kong Space Museum in the area near the Hong Kong Cultural Center. See how the Chinese fit into the space world and then catch a live performance of some kind. The Cultural Center hosts all sorts of entertainment from Opera to dance and classical music concerts. If you think those events would take up to much time then you can have some lunch and then take a walk near the Hong Kong Clock Tower and the beautiful park that is around it.
