There are several blocks of walking streets, and in each they sell something, feed you something, show something:

A guy paints white sneakers for money:

A disabled man without fingers sprinkles flowers with sparkles:

Look how carefully he does it. I think he loves his job:

The fact is that in Asia they serve horseradish just like that. You either have to be completely armless and legless, or do something. Yes, at least sing or dance, but do it. Because if you have arms and legs, then don’t bother begging, go work. This is what they think in Asia.

These “Ivanushkas” have all their fingers in place, so they have to make faces to the music:

It’s creepy, of course, but how sincere!

The boys rap:

Is this called a song? Well I do not know.

While the others are burning, a comrade sits on guard, guarding their sandwiches and clothes:

Every night she comes here, rolls out a blue cloth and writes messages with white sand:


But no one looks at her. And it’s as if she doesn’t need anyone, she doesn’t even put a hat under the change.

When the canvas is completely covered with writing, she erases it and begins to write again:

These guys were really preparing to perform beautiful songs, but the equipment let them down:

They found the courage to give up trying, apologize to the public and go home. The audience cheered them on with applause. It happens to everyone?

Some more speakers.

Magician. I filmed his performance with... In general, it looks like a yo-yo)) In general, he was cool, he did such feints that the people went wild:

Something familiar melody. In short, one plays and sings, others go crazy:

Another singer. In general, there were a lot of them there, but this one performed his song so frantically that I started listening to it:

The whole thing was guarded by the police:

The name of the store made me laugh:

Entrance to the hairdresser, which is on the second floor. You multiply the prices by 4, we get rubles:

Typical distance between houses:

Pharmacy:

If you move further into the interior, it becomes darker - not everywhere is as light in Hong Kong as in the pictures above:

Even further, and homeless people appear. I thought about putting a brick under my head, this is a joke:


Can anyone translate what he wrote on the poster? Probably “wake me up at 9 with a phone call”)))

Homeless people, of course, are no match for ours - they read, wear neat clothes, fashionable watches:

At night, the shop windows still shine colorfully, except for the bruliks and drags. metals are put into a safe:

A selection of photos of Hong Kong at night:

There is also an embankment there. During the day it’s as usual there, but at night it’s cool because the skyscrapers are shining on the other side. There is a place on Nabka, analogous to the Avenue of Stars in Hollywood. The names are unfamiliar, only Hong Kong and Chinese stars can be seen. They are quite popular in their homeland, but, alas, completely unknown anywhere else.

Although, some still managed to break into Hollywood:

I even touched it, as a souvenir))

There is also a statue of Bruce Lee, who, as you know, put a lot of effort into popularizing cinema in Hong Kong. And, apparently, he also came up with the genre of fights in cinema:

I couldn't resist again))

There were many different statues, and all on the theme of the Hong Kong film studio (Golden Harvest, if my memory serves me correctly). For example, microphone holder:

Surely at night in Hong Kong there are nightclubs, discos and so on, but, firstly, I am not interested in this, and secondly, I would not go through face control))

Poor and rich:

Some look up to others))

Hello friends! Today we will talk about Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China, which is one of the main financial centers of Asia and the world and is located on more than 260 islands. Currently, until 2047, Hong Kong has been granted autonomy, within the framework of which Hong Kongers themselves govern their territory, have their own currency, legislation, immigration policy, police, and so on.

In terms of travel, Hong Kong is by no means budget place, however, it is a major transport hub in South-East Asia, and there is a high probability of making a transfer there if you fly further. In the city itself there is a lot of interesting things to see, and visa regime allows citizens of Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan to stay in Hong Kong for up to 14 days without a visa in case of transit or tourism purposes. Especially for this occasion, if you are planning to spend a couple of days in Hong Kong, we have compiled a selection of 10 places to visit, based on own experience travel.

Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak, or “The Peak” for short as many Hong Kongers call it, is the highest point on Hong Kong Island. Its height is 554 meters above sea level. From there you can see a gorgeous and breathtaking view of the business center of Hong Kong with its many skyscrapers, Victoria Harbor and Kowloon in the distance.

The easiest and most economical way is to walk to the top, but the Peak Tram funicular is very popular among tourists and starts near the Central metro station. It looks like a tram and for 28HK$ one way or 40HK$ both ways it will save your effort and time. At the top there are two observation platforms, one a little lower and free, and the second a little higher and paid. The paid platform is called Sky Terrace 428 (according to the height above sea level) and costs 40HK$. If you make it to Victoria Peak, we recommend you spend this money. Let this be one of the most tourist places throughout Hong Kong, however, the view from there will make you forget about the crowds of people around. It is stunning both during the day and at night, and if you want to see both at once, get there around 5 pm - then you will be able to catch both light and dark hours of the day. And yes, as you probably already guessed, the observation deck is not located on the very high point Victoria Peak, but this should not disappoint you at all. :)

Lion Rock

Surprisingly, this place is not in most guidebooks and reviews of Hong Kong attractions, although it certainly deserves special attention. This is Lion Rock or “Lion Mountain” - perhaps the most adequate translation into Russian of the many possible ones. However, we will call it in the original - Lion Rock, because it is by the original name that you can find it in Hong Kong. :)

Lion Rock is a 495 meter high mountain located in Lion Rock Country Park in Kowloon, so named because its shape visually resembles the head of a lion. Lion Rock can be considered an alternative to Victoria Peak - it offers a gorgeous view of the city, but from the other side. First of all, you will see Kowloon and only Hong Kong Island will be visible in the distance.

Unlike Victoria Peak, Lion Rock is much less touristy; you can mostly meet locals there and only occasionally people of European appearance. And there are no cable cars there, that's completely walking route, taking 3 to 4 hours each way, depending on your pace. There are quite steep slopes along the way, as well as quite a few steps, so the climb will require basic physical fitness. It is worth dressing more comfortably and preferably in closed clothes - during the route, even at a temperature of 20 degrees, you can get quite sunburned in the sun. We visited Lion Rock on March 3, 2016. We plan to write a separate article about how to get there and how not to get lost in the park, follow our updates. Well, what will you be rewarded for when you reach the very top, look at the photo. :)

Big Buddha Statue

Apart from Kowloon, which is essentially a peninsula, Lantau is the largest of all the islands in Hong Kong. This is where your acquaintance will begin if you get to Hong Kong by plane, because this is where international Airport. In addition to the airport, Lantau has Disneyland, as well as another famous attraction - the Big Buddha statue. This 34 meter high statue is one of the 10 most tall statues Buddha in the world and is located in the small village of Ngong Ping, next to the Po Lin Monastery. To see the sitting Buddha up close, you will have to walk a long distance of 268 steps. However, it is worth it, in addition to the statue itself, it offers a beautiful view of the monastery and the surrounding mountains.

There are two main ways to get to Ngong Ping - by bus No. 23 from Tung Chung metro station (the first one after the airport), or from the same place, but by cable car, which travels 6 kilometers along cable car and shows passengers the beauty of Lantau Island and South China Sea. The pleasure is not the cheapest - for a regular cabin you will be asked to pay 130HK$ one way or 185HK$ for a round-trip ticket. For greater beauty and completeness of sensations, there are cabins with a transparent bottom (Crystal Cabin), they cost even more - 180HK$ one way or 255HK$ round trip.

Avenue of Stars

Hong Kong has its own Avenue of Stars, created based on the Hollywood one, and this is not without reason - for a long time Hong Kong was the third largest film industry in the world (after the USA and India). On the alley you can find sculptures, as well as handprints and names of famous Asian actors and directors; now there are more than a hundred of them there. Let's be honest, if you are not a connoisseur of Asian cinema, then most likely you will only know the names of two people - Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. The monument to the latter is the most noticeable place on the entire alley; there are always a large number of people wanting to be photographed in a similar pose. :)

But it’s not just movie stars that make the Avenue of Stars remarkable. It is located on the waterfront, from where you can admire the beauty of Victoria Harbor with the skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island on the opposite side. So even if you're not interested in Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee, it's a great place to take a stroll and take a series of cute shots for your archive.

Unfortunately, at the end of 2015, the Avenue of Stars was closed for reconstruction, which should last for 3 years. Judging by the length of the work, it must be redone very thoroughly.

Double-decker trams

From west to east and in the opposite direction, very colorful narrow double-decker trams run along Hong Kong Island, which are impossible not to pay attention to if they are traveling along the street. Unusual appearance trams made them a separate landmark of Hong Kong, without which it is difficult to imagine this city. Such trams came to Hong Kong from England, whose colony it was for a long time. In Hong Kong, they have taken root firmly, but in England itself there are almost none of them left, as well as in the rest of the world, so, in essence (with a couple of small exceptions), Hong Kong is the only place in a world where you can admire such unusual transport. And not only admire it, you can and should ride it. The fare costs only 2.3HK$ and can be paid either in cash (coins) or with a local Octopus travel card. Such a low cost makes a trip on the Hong Kong tram the most inexpensive sightseeing tour around town. And yes, they are only on Hong Kong Island; you won’t find them in Kowloon. :)

The metro is not the only way to get from the Kowloon Peninsula to Hong Kong Island; there is another way - the Star Ferry. These white and green boats have been plying their route for more than 90 years and, like double-decker trams, have already become one of the symbols of the city. The trip takes no more than 10 minutes, but it passes through Victoria Harbor, sailing along which you can admire the beauty of the cityscapes of Hong Kong on one side and Kowloon on the other. The cost of a trip on weekdays is 2.5HK$, and on weekends it’s a little more expensive, 3.4HK$. It is very likely that a ferry ride at night will make an even greater impression on you, when all the skyscrapers are illuminated with a scattering of multi-colored lights and shine brightly in the dark. What a spectacle!

Hong Kong Park is a picturesque green oasis in the middle of the concrete jungle and skyscrapers of Hong Kong Island. Certain analogies can be drawn with New York's Central Park, although it is, of course, on a much larger scale. However, if, while walking around the city, you get tired of the abundance of glass, iron and concrete, feel free to dive there and admire the unusual picture - tropical greenery and trees against the backdrop of the tops of skyscrapers. Entrance to the park is free, it is very clean and cozy, there are many benches and places to rest throughout the area, so it is perfect for taking a breather after long walks. You can admire fountains, waterfalls, ponds with lilies and fish and turtles swimming there, look into an aviary with more than 80 species of birds, visit a tea museum or have lunch in a restaurant. The nearest metro stations, from which you can easily walk to the park, are Central or Admiralty.

Another picturesque park amid the bustle large metropolis- Kowloon Park. It is located, as you can easily guess from the name, in Kowloon, next to the Tsim Sha Tsui MRT station. The park is notable for its Bird Lake, where in addition to the usual ducks, swans and ducks, you can gaze at pink flamingos! In addition, there is a labyrinth garden, a fountain, an aviary with exotic birds, a Chinese garden, contemporary art sculptures, an observation deck and much more.

Kowloon Park can also be called the city's sports center - there is a large 50-meter indoor swimming pool, two more training pools of 25 meters each and a 21-meter diving pool. And next to it - sports complex with courts for volleyball, basketball, handball and other games. Every day, the sports facilities of Kowloon Park receive over 2,000 visitors. If entrance to the park itself is free, then you will have to pay for the services of the sports center. But in general, like the Hong Kong park, Kowloon Park is a great place for a leisurely walk among beautiful nature and relaxation from the city noise and bustle - both for local residents, and for tourists.

Wong Tai Sin is a large, elegant temple that combines three religions - Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. This is largely why it is the most visited temple complex in Hong Kong. It is located on the Kowloon Peninsula, next to the metro station of the same name. You will certainly see it if you decide to go trekking to Lion Rock, which we wrote about above, since at the beginning you need to come to the same metro station - Wong Tai Sin.

The temple is made in traditional Chinese style - decorated with fine multi-color carvings, impressive columns, a roof with curved corners, and painted with hieroglyphs. It looks very beautiful, elegant and colorful, especially for guests from Europe, who rarely encounter this kind of architecture. Wong Tai Sin Temple is open to the public daily from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. There is a beautiful garden on the territory of the temple, and the temple itself is considered an excellent place for making wishes, which tend to come true. :)

Temple Street Night Market

Asian markets are a world away, and Temple Street Night Market is the most famous and popular market in Hong Kong. It consists of numerous rows of brightly illuminated tents and kiosks, where you can find almost everything your heart desires - clothes, shoes, leather goods, watches, electronics, accessories, antiques, Chinese souvenirs and trinkets, tea and everything for its preparation and consumption, and also a lot of other things, it’s simply impossible to list them all!

Find the one that suits you best:

Housing in Hong Kong

We recommend that you settle in the south of the Kowloon Peninsula - from there it is easy to get by bus to the airport, by Star Ferry to Hong Kong Island, and we consider living there more attractive due to the more colorful Chinese Kowloon than the business and overly modern Hong Kong. Look for a place to live Booking.com.

We stayed in a guesthouse called Inn Sight- a nice and moderately priced place by Hong Kong standards. We recommend!

Hong Kong is one of the most important economic centers in Asia and the most expensive cities peace. In the 19th century it was captured by the British, but was formally rented for 99 years. After the end of the lease, Hong Kong received autonomous status until the mid-21st century, in which Hong Kongers received the right to govern the region independently, but China took over all defense issues.

Hong Kong is inhabited mainly by Chinese, most of whom are Cantonese. Population is about 7 million people. The official languages ​​are English and Cantonese. Cantonese is essentially a dialect of Chinese with similar spellings but different pronunciations.

How to find accommodation in Hong Kong

Housing in Hong Kong is a rather complex issue due to its cost and demand. There is quite a large flow of traffic here, including tourists and people who constantly come here on business. In general, it is worth taking care and booking accommodation in advance. As usual, booking.com will help here. aribnb, agoda or any other aggregator.

We personally stopped at a place my brother had trusted, on Causeway Bay, in the very center of the city. This is an ordinary hostel, but most importantly with the Internet. The speed is really not very high, and the work is difficult, but it is possible. Here is the link to it http://www.179.hk/Cusac_Hong_Kong_Hostel_EN.html

You should definitely take a ride on the famous Hong Kong tram and walk around the city center among the skyscrapers.

Junk cruise in Victoria Bay

Or you can take a cheap ferry, that's fine too. The view of the city is very beautiful.

Walking through Hong Kong at night

Hong Kong is one of the must-see cities in the evening.

Temple Street Market Night Market

Souvenirs, snacks, opera singers and fortune tellers - orderly chaos in action.

Lan Kwai Fong

The center of the city's nightlife. There are many clubs and bars, and noisy parties rumble all weekend long.

Nathan Road

It is believed that the best suits in Hong Kong are made on this street. Initially, clothes were sewn in this area for the British living at that time. Today, the cost of rent has driven many out into the back alleys. Walking here you feel like you are in real China.

Tsim Sha Tsui Avenue

Take a walk on the bright side! Walk along coastline, taking in one of the city's most spectacular skylines against the glittering sky.

Jumbo Kingdom

This is a floating complex with a bunch of restaurants and shops. It is located in Aberdeen Bay, where fishermen historically lived on their junks. They serve Cantonese cuisine, but the cost is considerable. For some reason it is very popular among tourists.

Kowloon Peninsula

Located on the opposite shore, opposite Hong Kong Island. The best way to cross is the Star Ferry, which costs about HK$3. Departs from Pier 7 at Hong Kong Central Terminal and arrives at Tsim Sha Tsui Pier in Kowloon. Kowloon has the most densely populated area in the world.

On the way to the skyscraper observation deck you can go to several parks.

Sky 100 observation deck and high-altitude bar

The observation deck is located on the 100th floor of the skyscraper overlooking Hong Kong and Victoria Bay. A little lifehack is to go to a high-rise bar, which is located in the same building. Yes, expensive, but for the price of a Sky 100 ticket you can easily afford a drink with a view, and there will still be some left over. It's better to arrive early to have room. We arrived just before sunset, in beautiful soft light, and there were no seats by the window. But this is for the best, we ended up just looking and leaving, it turned out to be free. What is worth taking note with this plan is the dress code, you need to look more decent. Usually you need pants and closed shoes, or at least a shirt))

View of the most densely populated area in the world:

Show The Symphony of Lights

In the evening, from the Avenue of Stars you can clearly see the symphony of lights on Hong Kong Island. This action is so attractive that it was included in the Guinness Book of Records as the largest light show in the world. The show starts at 8 pm and only lasts 15 minutes, but it's worth it.

Clock Tower

A beautiful building from the time of the colonization of Hong Kong by the British.

Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong on the Kowloon Peninsula

This is one of the most popular places in Hong Kong. On the embankment there are a large number of sculptures and monuments to Hollywood stars. And it’s not surprising, because Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan were from Hong Kong, as were a number of other actors and directors.

Cheng Chau Island

If you want to spend a day at the beach center of Hong Kong, you should go to Cheung Chau Island. It's about half an hour away by high-speed catamaran, which departs from the central pier in Hong Kong. It costs about 20 Hong Kong dollars, you can go for 11 on a slow one. This is not for everybody.

The island was originally a fishing island, densely built up, and a huge number of tourists come here during the daytime. There's enough here pure water, many beaches and restaurants.

The cemetery is one of the most difficult problems of island life.

As promised, I’m posting photos of Hong Kong at night. To be honest, I expected more from him. I don’t know why, apparently I expect Chicago from all big cities. In general, of course, like everyone else big cities, Hong Kong lives a completely different life at night, for many this life only begins at night. The Kowloon area has many night markets, late-night eateries and cafes, although many of them are visited almost exclusively by tourists. I don’t like bars-clubs and other establishments, apparently for two reasons - I got drunk while working as a bartender, and I don’t drink alcohol, so I don’t see much point in visiting bars. But I quite like local eateries. Not far from the hostel in the evening I noticed an incredible queue of locals at some drab establishment. I have never seen such queues anywhere else here (except for the cable car to Lantau). She moved quite quickly, and after 20 minutes I was already ordering something for myself, stupidly poking at the pictures, since no one could properly explain to me what was what. After my order was made, it turned out to be duck and rice and some very tasty sweetish sauce. Well, I’ll write about food separately, let’s talk about the night city
It's over, business card of the city is the view of the bay from Victoria Peak. There is a special viewing area (entrance 35 GK bucks). I came up here both day and night. Here's the view from there at night.

But this is a view directly in the opposite direction - from Kowloon to Hong Kong Island. By the way, the city is decorated for Christmas, so photographs are not that frequent (although this angle is perhaps the most popular)

5. From the Kowloon embankment, every day at 8 o’clock you can watch the largest sound and light show in the world for free; it is even included in the book of records. It represents this: almost all skyscrapers have a certain lighting, which can change the light and configuration. All this is done clearly to the music.

Night life in Hong Kong - another reason to move to Hong Kong

As night falls, life continues to bustle, the bars never close and people party as hard as they work hard. The most popular and interesting places located in the very center of the city, as this way the clubs become popular and recognizable, and are easy to get to.

Hong Kong ranks first in the number of nightlife venues and clubs among all major cities in China. Due to its highly developed culture and modern rhythm of life, as well as its connections with other major countries, Hong Kong can rightfully be called an ultra-modern city.

Despite the large number of different bars and clubs, prices for entertainment are very high. Although they are not as high as in London or New York, Hong Kong is still the most expensive city in China. Most nightclubs have a British or Irish club style with excellent food and live music.

Nightclubs in Hong Kong are considered to be some of the best in all of Asia - they will appeal to even the most sophisticated and discerning clients. Each club has its own distinctive features.

Cultural life in Hong Kong has long been divided: there are people who live a traditional lifestyle, and there is also a new, ultra-modern world. Tourists often notice how some locals drink, dance and sing in nightclubs, while others nearby honor morality and strict traditions.

Temple Street in the Yau Ma Tei area will be closed from 6 pm. Here traffic stops and hundreds of vendors set up their portable tents, filling them with clothes and watches from “famous designers and brands” that sell for pennies. Tattoo parlors and hairdressers offer incredible discounts.

Happy Valley Racecourse is also popular with locals and expats. Beautiful horses, skilled riders, crowds of people create a fun and exciting atmosphere in a world class destination. Horse racing is taken seriously in Hong Kong and contributes well to the city's economy. This sport was introduced by the British who arrived in Hong Kong in 1841, and since then it has been one of the most favorite pastimes for local residents, which is not surprising given the Chinese love for gambling.
