HongKong



shopping mall
Hong Kong, even you never hear any other cities in China, you probably know it. When I hear the city’s name, the first word appeared in my mind is shopping. I was spending a whole day in Hong Kong just for shopping - in only one mall - even though it is not enough to browse all stores. You probably know how big the mall is.
Street

 Victoria harbour
There are so many brands in the mall from top international brands to local street fashion brands. Also, they come from all over the world like Erope, North American, Mainland China, Korean, and Japanese. Sometimes, you may find a lot of brands that you never seen in Canada, or even in Unite States. According to my experience, I suggest you to go Harbour City for shopping because after the crazy shopping, you can find a nice restaurant to enjoy the tasty food and beautiful night scene of Victoria Harbour.

Another thing impressed me most in Hong Kong is food. You can find every types of food in the world in Hong Kong. However, if you go to Hong Kong, you have to try one specific type of restaurant named Tea Restaurant that it is the most Hongkongnist restaurant. It represents the traditional, local and universal food culture. It is not fancy style but you can find every popular type of Hong Kong style dishes in Tea Restaurants. For example, you can get fish ball, different kinds of noodles/rice noodles, roast meat, steamed rice rolls, rocky bun with butter, and so on. This stuff is also available in Toronto. However, It will surprise you when you try them in the local restaurant. The dessert shops are also fantastic in Hong Kong. That is the second typical food category and the style is different from western countries.

Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple 


The special history makes Hong Kong different from the other cities in China. So in my mind, Hong Kong is combined the traditional Chinese culture and western culture. You can visit the Sik Sik Yuen Wong Tai Sin Temple that is a very famous temple due to the story of “makes every wish come true”. It will show you the traditional Chinese religions, including the ritually activities and architectures. Moreover, there are a lot of modern buildings in Hong Kong, and you can see the beautiful night scene in Victoria harbour. The other popular tourist destinations are Hong Kong Ocean Park, Racecourse, different museums and so on.
