Favorite thing: Kowloon Park, located in the city centre of Tsim Sha Tsui, is the biggest CITY PARK in Kowloon. It covers an area of about 13.5 hectares (about 33 acres). It is said to be the 'green lung' at the centre of city.

There are plenty of flowers and trees in the park, attractive birds and hundreds of beautiful Flamengos & ducks. There is also a mini children's amusement park, a swimming pool and a gymnasium, Chinese courtyard, goldfish pont, and some artistic sculptures.

These lovely flowers pictures were taken during Chinese New Year in 2008.

Favorite thing: The Peninsula Hotel is the top one in Hong Kong.
You may can't afford the expense to take over one night in this luxuious building.
Having caffe time or just taking pictures there is not bad idea ; )

Favorite thing: Nights have a predictability about themselves in Hong Kong. One, I am sure there will be drinking. The night will ween away into the early AM hours and there is a chance your eyes will close after the sun rises. Another sure thing is that during a visit, if you hang with locals, you will find yourself fingering through catalogs trying to find that one English song you know. The girls will probably jump up and dance wile they belt out all the Cantonese favorites and drinking games will ensue with one girl yelling "FINISH IT" You will finish, question why passing the beautiful taste of beer through your lips so quickly and than you will remeber its OK it LITE asian beer.

Favorite thing: This is Kowloon Park again...it amazed me that these beautiful parks could be hidden away amongst the hussle & bussle of Hong Kong... Out on the streets you would never guess it could be so relaxing and beautiful just a few metres away.

Favorite thing: Before going to Hong Kong research first the weather condition. If it’s summer you know what to bring, the most comfortable shirt that you got, and bring extra please. It is so humid that you will feel sticky. I also prefer rubber shoes to make sure I am always ready for a long walk. And when it’s rainy season, always have your umbrella. Some hotels offer free use of umbrellas. And make sure you have food inside the hotel because shops literally close during typhoon, specially the major shopping malls. Sometimes they also shutdown the MTR operation bus ride can really be a hard time.

Kowloon area is a nice place to stay because it is strategically located in the city, very accessible to transpo, even just walking brings you to one of Hong Kong’s Top spot such as the Nathan Road.

Favorite thing: Kowloon's Tsim Sha Tsui district is one of Hong Kong's most diverse and exhilarating places. There is something for everyone here, from the bright lights of streets that never sleep to tranquil parks and architectural reminders of the colonial years.

Favorite thing: Hong Kong is a great place to wander! I really enjoyed walking around and just taking in the sights and enjoying the smells of freshly cooked food and all of the action that is constantly going on. For me it is tough to capture the feeling of that on film. I remember wandering the small streets and alleys of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon like it was yesterday...

Favorite thing: Ladies Market along the Kowloon Areas are the best things to do, if you're a lady! You don't have to buy if you don't like thiese goods but one of the best thing is to check out the markets in any kind of place...Who knows you can find the best deal for the nicest goods you like!

Fondest memory: Busy looking out great deals...
