TEMPO.COM, Jakarta - Hong Kong has solidified its place as one of the most popular travel destinations in Asia. The city masterfully blends rich cultural heritage with modern attractions, from soaring skyscrapers to iconic street markets. However, for those visiting for the first time, the sheer number of options can be overwhelming.
Whether you are looking for spiritual experiences, breathtaking scenery, or thrilling amusement parks, these five attractions are a perfect starting point for your Hong Kong adventure.
1. Ocean Park Hong Kong
As the largest animal-themed amusement park in Hong Kong by land area, Ocean Park is a venerable institution and the second-oldest park of its kind in the city. The park features an array of attractions and rides, including four distinct roller coasters and diverse animal exhibits. Visitors can explore giant panda habitats, wander through a tropical rainforest, or be mesmerized by an aquarium that boasts one of the world's largest aquarium domes.
Designed for both entertainment and education, the park plays a vital role in public conservation efforts. Each October, it hosts the eagerly awaited "Halloween Bash" event.
2. Victoria Peak
The highest hill on Hong Kong Island, Victoria Peak, is a highly celebrated and popular tourist destination. Affectionately known as The Peak, it provides a sweeping, panoramic view of Victoria Harbour, the central business district, nearby islands like Lamma, and the expansive South China Sea.
The area is architecturally styled with Victorian influences, featuring manicured lawns and scenic walking paths that complement the citywide views. Visitors can also embark on the Governor's Walk Trail, which offers even more spectacular vistas of the entire cityscape.
3. Hong Kong Disneyland
Situated on Lantau Island, Hong Kong Disneyland appeals to both children and adults. The park presents a variety of themed rides and areas inspired by beloved Disney characters and stories, all infused with a unique touch of Hong Kong's cultural flair. It offers a perfect blend of everyone's favorite characters, along with a wide range of dining options and lively entertainment for all to enjoy.
4. Tian Tan Buddha
Also located on Lantau Island, the Tian Tan Buddha is a significant pilgrimage site. This immense, seated bronze statue of the Buddha is positioned at the summit of a hill. To reach the statue, visitors have the option to climb 268 steps or take a convenient cable car. Once at the top, they are rewarded with expansive mountain views and vistas of the South China Sea. In addition to the Buddha statue, the site is home to the revered Po Lin Monastery.
5. Avenue of Stars
Perched on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, the Avenue of Stars provides exceptional views of Victoria Harbour while extending a warm welcome to the people of Hong Kong and tourists from around the world.
