My Roaming Spirit
Mohit daga (@MOHIT881923)Entrepreneur | Traveler | Photographer | Co-founder of myroamingspirit Hong Kong is a fascinating city. With buildings kissing the blue sky to vast stretches of ocean washing the floors of the country side. This city has it all. It’s a second home for food lovers. You could sit over a bowl of noodles in a busy street and engage in endless conversations watching the locals pass by. I bet you would lose the count of bowl of noodles you must have had.
Not many know, unlike other cities Hong Kong is different. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, located at the southern part of China, and has a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign relations and military defense. The city consists of the half island Kowloon as well as several islands, Hong Kong Island being the most important of them. It has one of the busiest harbors in the world, and is the finance center of ASIA. If you’re planning a trip to Hong Kong, you won’t have much trouble getting around. It’s a gorgeous, friendly city with a lot to see and a lot to do. What one can never forget to notice is the jumble of markets, street cafes/restaurants and high-rises. For shopping, there is the world renowned Jade Market and The Tung Choi St Market (or Ladies Market) is your go-to, one stop shop from socks to counterfeit luxury handbags, ladies can go gaga about, apart from that a dozens of Cheap( but no compromise on quality) custom tailor stores. If you’re looking to stock up your wardrobe, Hong Kong is the place to do it. Like many other 1st time visitors I did all the planning for my trip to Hong Kong. My Hong Kong experience started as soon as I landed. To my surprise I had to take a train and navigate through dozens of escalators to finally come out of the airport. No wonders Hong Kong airport (HKG) is the fourth busiest international passenger airport in the world and has the busiest international cargo facilities. Before I could gulp down the amazement I took a cab to The Kowloon Hotel Harbour Plaza on 19-21 Nathan Road Tsimshatsui. Without wasting a minute in the fine luxuries of the hotel, I got ready and packed my day bag and took a city guide booklet from the hotel reception and left to see my 1st location Victoria Peak. If a single image could encapsulate Hong Kong, it would be the panorama from Victoria Peak. Looking down at the city from this famous vantage point, you'll see one of the finest harbors on Earth and a skyline so improbable, audacious and lofty that Manhattan's looks provincial by comparison- By Times.com. I was so much awe struck with the view that I lost track of time. I was engrossed in clicking pictures from the camera (DSLR) I rented from Bangalore. I wanted to fully utilize every penny paid for rent. (If you want to experience to be on the Highest point of Hong Kong Island, getting into Sky Terrace 428 is a must.)
