H for Hong Kong

I didn't have much of a choice. You see, my H was the first letter popping up in my mind the very minute I jumped on the AtoZExpressTrain. My H just had to be for Hong Kong. Yes, I admit, probably a bit colored by our recent Hong Kong adventures, but really - what a dream destination it is. So, even though I was immensely sad to leave the Golden Temple behind, I am thrilled to be back in Hong Kong with you.

So, what to do first? I suggest we kick off our day by taking a stroll in the busy streets in the central parts of the city, so colorful and vivid, and with a fascinating mix of old and new. Hong Kong in a nutshell - with old temples, fashionable shops and new skyscrapers side by side. There will be a lot of people, but it somehow doesn't seem crowded. It is all very organized and the streets and pavements are very clean. And then the restaurants, oh the restaurants.. Let's taste some dumplings at a street stall and then go for a yummy Chinese lunch. What do you say?

Then, let's take the tram up to Victoria Peak to enjoy the stunning view overlooking the city. The choices are many in HK, so whether you like culture, history, shopping, Disneyland, Madame Tussaud's or just strolling along in solitude at the sea promenade or in the busy city streets Hong Kong has something for you. It's a fascinating east meets west metropolis.

So, I hope you enjoyed our express Hong Kong day? If you want to come back, do check out the city calendar before you go, because there is a lot going on here all year round. You don't wanna miss any of those bright, colorful noisy festivals, I think. Check Discover Hong Kong for more information.

And if you want a good-read on Hong Kong from the eyes of an Indian Expat there (oh yes!) - let me recommend my friend Amelia's blog Chai - A Cup of Life. She just featured a guest blogger: Palka Chopra who is writing about her Hong Kong. Lovely read, I tell you, and so interesting to explore Hong Kong through her. Check it out here: Hong Kong - A City For Everyone.

But let us finish our HK day with a refreshing stroll along the very well made sea promenade. Do you feel that sea breeze in your hair and see that neon skyline on the other side? It's great isn't it, just walking here and preparing to travel off to another destination....

Oh my, this 26 day's world tour is getting busy, but I do hope you enjoyed our Hong Kong day? We are soon off again however, and tomorrow we are going to a true wonder of this world... I...  is coming up...
