Hong Kong Museum of Art

The Hong Kong Museum of Art, whose predecessor was the Hong Kong Museum of Fine Arts, was founded in 1962. Its rich collection comes mainly from acquisitions and generous donations. It spans many categories, from treasures of traditional Chinese painting and calligraphy and fine ancient artefacts to historically significant images and outstanding works by contemporary Hong Kong artists.

Mong Kok

Mong Kok, in the central part of the Kowloon Peninsula, is one of Hong Kong's busiest districts and one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Walking its streets, you can feel the city's pulse that never sleeps. It is a lively hotspot that no visitor to Hong Kong should miss.

Hong Kong Disneyland

Hong Kong Disneyland is currently the smallest “Kingdom of Fairy Tales” in the world. Blending Chinese and Western influences, the park features both Chinese cartoon characters and Western ones. Visitors can also stay at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel or Disney's Hollywood Hotel and fully experience the wonders of the fairy-tale and movie worlds.

Tsim Sha Tsui

Located on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the city's most prosperous areas for tourism and commerce. Tsim Sha Tsui, and especially its eastern part (the Tsim Sha Tsui East business district), is a treasure trove of shopping malls and shops. Beyond luxurious shopping centres, quirky independent boutiques are also hugely popular with young people. Tsim Sha Tsui's dining and bar scene is equally lively, and is loved by young Hongkongers and visitors alike.

Po Lin Monastery and Tian Tan Buddha

Po Lin Monastery is known as the Buddhist Kingdom of the South and is the foremost of Hong Kong's four great Buddhist monasteries. The Tian Tan Buddha, which sits on Muk Yu Peak at 482 metres above sea level and directly faces the monastery's ceremonial archway, is the world's largest outdoor bronze Buddha statue. The Buddha's base has three tiers, housing an exhibition hall and more. Inside is a large bell, carved with Buddhist images and scriptures. The bell is computer-controlled and strikes every 7 minutes, 108 times in total, to help people “release themselves from the 108 afflictions.”
