should include in your itinerary.

A trip to Hong Kong is not complete without trying this cultural food. Waitresses

roll carts up to your table with a selection of food, and you just tell them what you'd

like to try. It may not sound very exciting but the food is delicious and there is no

better way to get a taste for a variety of these cultural nuggets. Dim sum means

‘touch your heart’ and with as many as 150 items on a restaurant menu, and 2,000 in

the entire range, it is a challenge to not find something you love.

If you are traveling with the kids, a trip to Ocean Park is a must. Take in a marine

show, or ride the coasters; or, take a walk through Middle Kingdom and watch the

shows.

Opened in 1977, Ocean Park Hong Kong is a marine-life theme park featuring

animal exhibits, thrill rides and shows. In 2012, its impressive ability to offer guests a

world-class experience that blends entertainment with education and conservation

was confirmed when it became the first Asian winner of the biannual Applause

Award, the most prestigious award in the amusement and theme park industry.

The park is located on the southern side of Hong Kong Island, covering more than

870,000 square meters. The Waterfront and The Summit areas are connected by the

Cable Car and Ocean Express funicular train.

Walk the 260 steps and be greeted by the 100 foot tall statue of Buddha. Visit the

monastery and have a light meal; take in the breathtaking views of the hillsides.

Buddhist architecture; fireworks over Sleeping Beauty's castle; a long sandy beach;

a mall of shopping outlets – Lantau Island has it all. Whatever your persuasion, Hong

Kong’s largest outlying island brings solace to the soul, senses and shopping bags.

Lantau Island is the focus of Hong Kong in recently years. It has the Hong Kong

International Airport and Hong Kong Disneyland. Of course, the tranquil Po Lin

Monastery and Big Buddha are still the major attractions on Lantau Island. With a

land mass of 147.16 square kilometres (56.82 sq meter), it is the largest island in

Hong Kong, almost twice the size of Hong Kong Island. Lantau Island primarily

consists of mountainous terrain.

This is a popular tourist destination and you can buy anything from antiques to

modern day electronics. Handmade crafts are also plentiful here. You will want to get

your bulk of souvenirs from Stanley Market.

Stanley Market is one of the must-go places for tourists when they visit Hong Kong.

You will find an interesting array of little shops selling silk garments, sportswear, art,

Chinese costume jewellery and souvenirs. While a bit "touristy" if you are a tourist

it will certainly help you to cross off all the items on your souvenirs-to-buy-Aunt-Jane

shopping list. A hard morning of shopping is also nicely finished off by a good lunch

at one of the many restaurants, which are the reason that Hong Kong locals also

frequent the area. And if that’s not enough to grab you, the nearby eateries along the

breezy seaside strip surely will!
