Hong Kong flavoursome taste,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The Dragon's Back dispels some myths about Hong Kong Island for new visitors the forests of towering apartment blocks, the gleaming skyscrapers and teeming numerous the city's population of more than seven million may conjure the notion that Hong Kong Island is included in concrete.
Not even close to it. Hong Kong's 1104sq km, including Kowloon, the brand new Territories and islands,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], is 70 per cent rural, and even Hong Kong Island has places of bush serenity.
The Dragon's Back is a. In regards to a 20-minute bus ride from the downtown district's skyward sprawl, the soaring mountains from the island's interior have resisted various attempts to build. Trails of these mountains,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], known simply because the Dragon's Back, provide the chance to catch your breath from Hong Kong's dynamic urban crush.
Take the No.9 bus and get off at Cape Collinson Rd for the Shek O trail, in regards to a three-hour hike steep in parts while you climb to a number of peaks but with enough flat sections to make it enjoyable. It winds through thickly forested sections,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with sudden views through the bush giving sensational vistas of the coast, for example Big Wave Bay, the millionaires' beachfront homes and also the manicured golf course of the Shek O Country Club.
Take water and a hat for that hike and, if worn out afterwards, perhaps head for that nearby outpost of Stanley,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with its resort feel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for a swim or a relaxing waterfront lunch at a chic restaurant like Saigon before browsing the markets.
A bushwalk may well be a welcome break, but to take in Hong Kong properly you need to immerse yourself in the pulsating sea of humanity.
Buy a rechargeable Octopus card to obtain around easily on its super-efficient public transport, including trains, buses, trams and ferries, then keep the kilos away from its glorious food by walking as you explore.
The downtown area, referred to as Central, has shining office blocks like the Bank of China but also historic buildings such as the Legislative Council with Japanese bullet holes a reminder of World War II, and St John's Cathedral dating to 1847, with pews once reserved for royalty.
Wind the right path past skyscrapers such as the "koala building" once owned by Alan Bond and also the landmark HSBC building overlooking reclaimed waterfront.
Between, there are placid parks, such as Cheung Kong Park with its water fountains, the Lan Kwai Fong nightlife strip and the blur of markets around Gage St squeeze into Lan Fong Yuen to sample its famous milk tea.
Downtown also has what is claimed to be the longest escalator in the world at 800m, heading down in the morning or more in the evening. It is in sections to help you utilize it as a hop-on, hop-off way to explore a series of areas such as the bars and restaurants of Elgin St.
At Upper Lascar Row,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], curio markets go as far back to when it had been referred to as Cat St, as "rats" used it to hawk stolen goods.
All this walking can work up an appetite and with more and more people residing in small highrise apartments, Hong Kong is a city that eats out.
Try Chan Kan Kee on Queens Rd West, with specialties such as goose leg or pig's stomach. Further along Queens Rd West,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the odd assortment of things made from paper in rows of shops from iPads to refrigerators to beer cans to gold bars grow to be offerings to be burned for dead relatives.
On Des Voeux St West, explore reputedly the biggest dried-goods market in the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with shops selling dried everything, from snake and seafood to lots of things you may have trouble identifying.
Rest for some minutes on the double-decker tram at $2.30 a visit a cheap method to begin to see the city and head to Wan Chai district to see sights like the Pawn on Johnson Rd. The 1888 building was once a pawn shop but is now a funky bar/restaurant, but its rooftop terrace is public, to help you go and just spend time and browse a magazine. Then try Hong Kong Park for any stroll to the Tea Museum and the Lock Cha Tea House for a tea appreciation class.
Of course,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Hong Kong is far more than simply the island make use of your Octopus card for the 10-minute ferry ride over the harbour look around the diversity of Kowloon.
The ferry docks in the Tsim Sha Tsui district, using its waterfront walk and bird-shaped Hong Kong Cultural Centre. At the 1881 Marine Police building has become a boutique luxury hotel, encompassed by designer shops in a small mall. It's some interesting bars however for something decidedly different if not exactly comfortable try the highrise Felix's Bar in the Peninsula Hotel, using its floor-to-ceiling windows in the men's urinals overlooking the city.
Kowloon has a mixture of markets, such as in the Mong Kok district, in which the flower markets result in the bird market, where bird owners bring their pets every day for singing lessons. There is also a "ladies" marketplace for ladies' clothing as well as a goldfish market.
Sai Yeung Choi St South is claimed by locals to become the most crowded night mall in the world, while the busy night markets at Temple St have fortune tellers, opera singers and sex toys through to your more usual clothes and electronics.
For lunch in Kowloon, try the Michelin-starred Nanhai No.1 on Nathan Rd, with its dramatic views over the harbour.
For any view to beat them all, go to the International Commerce Centre, at 490m above sea level Hong Kong's tallest building and fourth tallest on the planet. The sky100 observation deck on the 100th floor makes you feel more like inside a plane than a building. As well as its sweeping 360-degree views, sky100 has interactive features, a fascinating history of Hong Kong, screen shows and restaurants on the next floor. And a whole hotel above it.
It is a perfect spot to take in Hong Kong's 8 o'clock light show each night, where major city buildings come alive with moving lights and lasers inside a spectacular show.
Hong Kong is an ideal short-stay stopover for Australians on long-haul flights to or from Europe, however the self-styled "Asia's World City" is extremely much a destination on its own.
