Short Break to Hong Kong after Tour in Beijing
by Mitchela Finch

Hong Kong as everyone know is a year-round destination. But the best time for visit is from the end of September to early December, when the weather is warm, the air is relatively dry and it seldom rains. Different from me, because my family and I, we did our vacation to Beijing last month then we thought that was also a great opportunity to visit Hong Kong.

We got our flight which took about 3 hours from Beijing. Hong Kong again is very high rise but not as clean as Beijing and Shanghai. After a Beijing tour, we got a couple of days here to do some touristy things including strolling around the night market, visit the Peak, and did some fun activities.

Actually, we joined 2 days Hong Kong tour from China local travel agency same with the travel agency who helped us arranged our tour in Beijing. We did visit lots of iconic sites in this vibrant busy city including Stanley Market, Repulse Bay, Lantau Island, Aberdeen, Victoria Peak etc. But among all of them, my favorite is Victoria Peak.

In fact, the Peak can be said as the most famous tourist site. If you are visit Hong Kong then come to Victoria Peak is a must thing to do. Many will take the historic Peak Tram up Victoria Peak. The tram ride is breathtaking. As a must experience in Hong Kong, taking the historic train ride will put you in a time tunnel transferring you back into Hong Kong colonial times. Feel and imagine how it would have been to travel up The Peak more than 120 years ago by this engineering masterpiece. Because the Tram Peak, travelling up and down The Peak became more efficient and comfortable and as a nice side effect visitors could enjoy the remarkable and wonderful views while taking the Tram.

While taking the Tram, we passed many skyscrapers that seem so close together. The views from the top are breathtaking and you can see the whole of the city, the harbour and the other side of the island. All of the skyscrapers look more clearly from the top. Overall, all of sightseeings in Hong Kong were fabulous. I do really go back to Hong Kong next time, in nearly future for sure. I am looking forward to that time and will explore the city independently without travel agency help. It might happen because mostly people in Hong Kong can speak English, so it will be a nice and fun trip!
