There are reasons for the Victoria Peak is one of the most popular attraction that included in any Hong Kong sightseeing tour. About 1805 feet above the sea level, the peak provides a chance to catch the panoramic view of the whole Hong Kong Island.

The beautiful sights from Vitoria Peak can not only be seen during the day. At night, the lights from buildings create a picturesque flame like millions of fireflies happily jumping around.Sample Dim Sum
This interesting dish can be understood as “touch your heart” in English, and really nail it! Dim Sum originated served as a morning or early afternoon meal, like a traditional appetizer. But now it is considered as an essential part of any family meal in Hong Kong shore excursions, consists of dumplings in steamer baskets or on small plates. Some restaurants serve dim sum from the pushed cart or allow to order from the menu. Visit Hong Kong, you can miss the chance to taste its specialties. There is a plenty of options to taste dim sum, but the most famous dishes are steamed shrimp dumpling, barbecued pork bun, spare ribs, and turnip cake. You can easily find a place to sample, but choose one to worth your money. Tim Ho Wan - one of the Michelin-starred restaurants, but with a reasonable price – is a good idea. For an older flavor, try Luk Yu Tea House where you can taste the original dim sum without any improvement through series of years.Lost in endless street markets
If you are too familiar with huge shopping malls enclosing with the high price but few kinds of products, Hong Kong can be heaven for you.

Among these markets, Temple Street Night Market is the most famous with multiple products from noodles to watches.Hike the Dragon’s Back
Hong Kong shore excursions bring you to a modern city, but it does not mean that there is no natural landmark to explore. Stretching for 31 miles, the trail crosses through 5 parks on the island which the most famous one is the Dragon’s Back. Keep hiking and then reaching the Shek O Peak where you marvel at bird-eye views of turquoise-water bay, white-sand beach, verdant countryside, waterfront communities, and far away is the epic sight of South China Sea. The hike normally takes less than two hours, but for completed experience, spend more time to start from lovely Happy Valley.Visit historic temples
Hopping on Hong Kong shore excursions, you cannot miss a visit to ancient religious sites. Man Mo Temple - the oldest in the city – is dedicated to Taoist gods of literature and war. Believers usually come here to leave offerings and burn incense while fortune tellers highly respected in this country are sitting in front waiting for customers. If you want some flashy things, move to Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery where 500 real-size golden Buddha statues gently sitting on the side of 400 steps that you will climb up to reach the main temple. More than its name, the temple hides 13,000 gilded ceramic statues.Relax in the park

Hong Kong Park is an area mixing of scattered rocks and beautiful leafy pathways. The tranquil atmosphere is most suitable for practicing and relaxing. Besides, Victoria Park is the largest one on the whole island with recreational facilities for playing football, basketball, swimming, lawn bowling and also tennis. If you want to be lost in the feudalist space, the prettiest Nan Lian Garden is a good idea. Landing on 35,000 square meters, the garden is designed with the architecture style from Tang Dynasty.Escape to the beach
Not too far from the city center reaching in many ways including taxi, boat, or even public transportation, you now are standing on one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Hong Kong is home to several different kinds of beaches which can suit anyone from surfers to party. Shek O is one of the most well-known choices. Stretching by sand, the beach surrounds Repulse Bay.
