I lived in Shanghai, China for a few years. That in itself was a miraculous time. I'm sure that more than a few of my reflections will appear in this blog from time to time. But I must kick it all off with Hong Kong.
Hong Kong always seemed to have the right mix of Western & Eastern influences. It seemed more glamorous and sophisticated than Shanghai. Probably because it was the most accessible nearby semi-Western escape from too many day to day "China moments."
Here are my Top Hong Kong Experiences
1. Victoria Peak – This peak is on every tourists list -but that's because it really is great. It is easily accessible via the Peak Tram (located only a short walk from a metro station). Once at the top enjoy the spectacular 360-degree views of the entire island. Relax with a full meal or just drinks and snacks at one of several restaurants offering great-seated views. Be sure to buy the observatory ticket at the very top for the best 360-degree views.
