So you have always heard about Hong Kong, but never visited it, or are some what gloomy as to what you can do in Chinese city. What is the food going to be like, the people, the culture, the temperature and most important of all whatever will you do there? Well, these instincts are ordinary, but incorrect. You see, I have always just heard about hong kong and its progress in their infrastructure and design, but never had I imagined it to be my favorite town in the world. I'm not Chinese, neither did I have any Chinese friends convincing me to go.
I knew that I wanted to go to China to experience their culture, food and to especially discover what makes them so unique and different in the world. So, I prepared a flight to Hong Kong and next the thing I knew, I was in hong kong in the scorching hot summer with 32 degree and 95% humidity. My experience in hong kong was spectacular. Words unfortunately have limits ; pictures can only give you a feeling of how a town is, but when you basically live in town of hong kong the experience is bind blowing. You've got to be there experience the harbor View towards hong kong Island, you have to be there to experience the climb to 'the peak' to see the complete view of the beautiful city of hong kong, you've got to sit in the ferry to sniff the sweet air of hong kong.
Now before I left to hong kong, just like any travel, some research and planning must be done about the town. For example, what sort of attractions it must offer, how to say a few phrases in Cantonese so you can get round the city and most vital of all, the Do's and the Don't's. I searched google continually, but failed to find a site with great professional photos that described the way of life of hong kong and some of the things I should and shouldn't do in hong kong.
All the websites that I found were by corporations throwing their bias pitch towards their product, either a hotel, or a tourism package. After endless looking, I finally found an ideal internet site by a student who went to college of hong kong to study for one month from University of Toronto. I have to say, the way I saw hong kong was exactly like it was displayed in his photos. If your inquisitive about visiting hong kong, then visiting his site is an absolute must and even if your not interested in hong kong, then just checking out the city is still a thrill!
