High above
Hong Kong Island on the 'back of the Dragon', Victoria
Peak is Hong Kong's premier visitor attraction, providing
magnificent harbour and city views. Arriving late afternoon
enables you to experience the dazzling panorama of Hong
Kong Island, the harbour, Kowloon and the hills beyond.
Later, you can thrill to the neon-dotted skyline by
night. What's more, The Peak offers visitors a multitude
of fantastic entertainment. It is also the place where
the richest members of the former colony live.
Aberdeen Harbour is home to hundreds of people living
on fishing junks. Their traditional lifestyle is dramatically
juxtaposed against a modern high-rise community that
spreads up the nearby hillsides. In the evenings, the
thousands of twinkling lights reflected on the water
are a magical sight.
To get a close-up look at the Aberdeen way of life,
many visitors take a sampan ride. In the evenings, many
others prefer to take in the view from one of two magnificent
floating restaurants anchored here. Three storeys high
and elaborately decorated with swirling red and gold
dragons and other traditional Chinese motifs, the experience
is not to be missed.
Repulse Bay, located south of Stanley, primarily a well-to-do
residential area, Repulse Bay has a relaxed resort-like
atmosphere. The wide, wave-lapped beach is popular with
locals and visitors alike and great for sandy strolls
- early morning with the waking of another day, when
the sun is up and the sunbathers are out in force, or
at sunset when all is at peace.
As well as sun, sea and sand, there are plenty of diversions
nearby. The ornate Life Guard Club is built in a traditional
Chinese style, its ceiling decorated with magnificent
swirling dragons. The picturesque gardens that lead
down to the beach are dominated by towering twin statues
of Kwun Yum and Tin Hau, both protectors of fishermen.
The colonial-style, The Repulse Bay, houses designer
shops and award-winning restaurants and resembles the
luxury hotel that originally occupied the site. This
is the ideal place for a romantic dinner under the stars.
