Victoria Harbour gets the number one spot on my list of top 10 places to see in Hong Kong because of the stunning panoramic views you get of Hong Kong Island (pictured) impressive skyline, especially at night when all the buildings are lighted up.
At night, you can also watch the amazing Symphony of Lights event from the harbour..
Victoria Harbour is also a great place to relax while seeing all kind ships and boats, and the best thing about this attraction is that it won’t cost you a penny!

Victoria Peak is located across Victoria Harbour on the Island of Hong Kong and it’s on my list of top 10 places to see in Hong Kong because of the memorable and breathtaking views you'll get of Victoria Harbour, the surrounding islands and central Hong Kong.
Apart from enjoying the fascinating views, The Peak boast a shopping mall - Peak Tower -, restaurants and a beautiful Chinese style garden – Victoria Peak Garden – which is one of the best vantage points on The Peak.

Temple Street is also the place to come if you want to buy traditional Chinese medicines, and enjoy a bit of night shopping at the famed night markets.
6. Hong Kong Observatory
The Hong Kong Observatory is adjacent the Hong Kong Museum of History and if you are visiting this museum for the educational aspect, you’ll find that the observatory is just as educational and worthy of a visit.
The observatory offers guided tours but you need to arrange them in advance. The tours last a good two hours during which you will learn about the technology behind weather forecast and how forecasts are made. A really cool place to visit, if you ask me!
