DK Travel : Hong Kong

“A dream of Manhattan, arising from the South China Sea.” For succinctness, modern travel writer Pico Iyer’s description of Hong Kong has yet to be bettered. From opium port to Cold War enclave to frenetic financial capital, Hong Kong has never been boring. This is the hedonistic engine room of cultural fusion: East meets West in high style, and the results astonish and delight. Prepare to experience one of the most dramatic urban environments ever conceived.

Shui Hu Ju (水滸居)

They serve Beijing style dishes in a small-medium restaurant setting with great ambiance. You can see fishies swimming right under you whilst you eat! Not sure if they still have those tables... but it's definitely worth a visit.
Star Ferry Pier before Demolition

Star Ferry Pier was originally situated in front of the City Hall and adjacent to the Victoria Harbour and has always been a great part of everybody (whether live here or travel here)'s memory which cannot be wiped. The sound ofis the Bell Tower which rings every 15 minutes and hour and has been a symbol of Central Promenade for decade. It broke everybody's heart when the Government has decided to demolish it to give way to Highway to ease traffic and has ignored the history and culture which has linked to everybody's heart since they were born. The new pier now sit is nothing to compare with the old one and we can only live with our memory for the rest of our life.

Situated in the midle of Kowloon, this is a place that sells anything and everything. Hong Kong is a really safe city, but this is probably one ol the places of might want to be more careful with your handbags.

Wu Kong Shanghai Restaurant

Wu Kong runs a chain of restaurants dotted across Hong Kong. They serve Shanghai cuisine in typical Chinese restaurant decor.

The food is reasonably priced, and like anywhere you go for food in Hong Kong that is good, always busy.

Try the Braised Fish with Wine Sauce, Rice with Salted Ham & Vegetable in Clay Pot, Steamed Shanghai Baby Pork Dumplings, Double Boiled Superior Pork Ravioli with Chicken.

Think you can't stomach all that? Why not hook up with a few friends so you can taste a much wider variety of food. Same goes with experiencing Dim Sum.
