Hong Kong – Top 10

Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient. Situated on the Pearl River Delta, this former British colony offers tradition, modernity, entertainment, and so much more. From concrete jungle to tropical beaches, Hong Kong has something for everyone. If you’re planning a vacation, Hong Kong just might be the perfect travel destination. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite 10 things to do. All of the items on our list are either free or less than US$ 5 – so you’ll usually just have to pay for transportation. We had a hard time picking and organizing just top ten things to do. We based our top ten list on affordability, authenticity, and awesomeness.
