You are probably more familar with the beautiful island of HK than I am, which has many of the top 12 spectacular and phenomenon lanscapes in the world, such as Victoria Peak, Avenue of Stars and Hollywood road, Disneyland, Ocean Park, HK Syline "Symphony of Lights", Repulse Bay, Aberdeen Harbor, Stanley Market & Murray House, shopping on Ladies' street, Temple and Jade night market, Wong Tai Sin Temple and Big Budha, and Golden Bauhinia Square.
If you are ever in Hong Kong visiting as a tourist, be sure to travel to one of its finest Michelin star restaurant Din Tai Fong, try out its delicious dumblings and dim sum, and mouthwatering seafood on Cheng Chai seafood street.
I was not very surprised to learn that Hong Kong's GPA per capita ranked 10th in the world, which generates a gross national revenue of $310 billion every year. Even though Hong Kong is 36X smaller in size compared to Taiwan, but its living expense and minimum wage income are 4X (33%) higher than TW. Hong Kong has 7 million in population,
Hong Kong island skyline is one of the most spectacular cityscapes in the world. New York's skyscrapes has definitely gain its fame and popularity over HK. The most unique thing that sets them apart is HK's more compact and dramatic architectures, when viewed from the water of Kowloon, at least 44 skyscrapers and buildings on both sides of Victoria harbor light up in a synchronized show called "The Symphony of Lights". It's named by the Guiness book of world record as the largest permanent light and sound festival in the world.
At the top floor of the International Commerce Center, you will get a gorgeous panaromic view of the "Symphony of Lights" in HK, which is more impressive when you have the opportunity to capture a glimpse of the New Year's fireworks. You will get a glorious landscape view of the city and spectacular fireworks display to keep you excited for the ultimate New Year's countdown.
"The Symphony of Lights", with its extravagant show costs about $44 million HKD to produce each year, this is where the whole city lights up like beautiful ballerinas dancing and a string of magical symphony. The tourism burea of HK provides live narration on the Avenue of Stars, on the Tsim Sha Tsai Waterfront and at the promenade outside the Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai.
The top 5 tallest builditngs in HK includes the International Commerce Center, 2 International Finance Center, Central Plaza, Bank of China Tower, and the Center. The buildings ranges in height between 350-490 meters. Hong Kong has over 1, 268 skyscrapers standing taller than 150 meters in height.
Many international tourists are completely mesmerized by the beauty and extravagance of the Hong Kong skyline, but few people know the exsistence of one of the world's most magnificent and monumentary theme parks "Noah's Ark". It's the world's first full-sized replica built to Biblication specifications. Noah's Ark is a beautiful theme park inspired by love and harmony, with a focus on entertainment, education and natural scenic beauty. Its conveniently located in the shadow of the spectacular Tsing Ma Bridge with views of Rambler Channel. It's only 30 minutes away from Hong Kong International Airport and 25 minutes boat ride away from the Central Pier 2 and downtown HK. It's many memorable exhibitions and fun attractions includes Ark Expo, Art Life Education House, Treasure House, Solar Tower, and Nature Garden. Noah's Ark hotel and Harvest restaurant are two fantastic places to stay overnight and dine in.
