Trip Diary - Tourist Attractions

What has Hong Kong got to offer apart from buildings after buildings of shopping centres?

The experience of hiking up to The Peak is unforgettable. Especially when it is dark. The path is steep and is not for the faint hearted. Maybe I am unfit or I was going too fast, but it was so difficult going up. I felt like my whole body was aching, my legs, my arms, my chest, my head... and I was not even half way up to the top. But along the way, the view was magnificient. But was it worth it? All I can say is that I truly appreciate my friend in organising this for me.

Hong Kong Museum of History is surprisingly interesting, with a wealth of information about the history of Hong Kong from pre-historical times to current era. The most interesting aspect is the replica of the buildings and landmarks from past eras. They were so realistic that I really felt that I was transported in time. This is a "must" place to visit - for locals and tourists alike.
