The beautiful Hong Kong skyline is a kaleidoscope of colour at night, wowing all visitors alike. Neon signs light up everywhere along the crowded streets. Street vendors sell the most exotic cuisine. From strong smelling bean curd to shredded jellyfish, Hong Kong offers the mysterious experiences of the Far East in the very familiar settings of a modern city.
Kowloon is an urbanised area found in the southern region of Hong Kong. It gives you the opportunity to sample the variety of experiences that Hong Kong has to offer. The Kwun Tong district, in Kowloon, is an industrialised zone with malls that are open overnight, while the Sham Shui Po district will enthrall gadget lovers. To the south of Kowloon is Victoria Harbour, with the Star Ferry service affording passengers gorgeous vistas of the Hong Kong skyline. Even better, you could head over to the Kowloon public pier and catch a ride on an authentic Chinese junk.
Another terrific attraction is Kowloon Park. Spanning over 13 hectares, the park is home to a variety of activities. It is a tranquil escape from the constant buzz and energy of Hong Kong city. Facilities such as the Discovery Playground make Kowloon Park a treat for children, while the Maze Garden will keep adults occupied. The park is frequented by bird watchers and nature lovers.
Every Sunday, the park plays host to the Kung Fu corner, which is a two hour program that is set up at the section of the Sculpture Walk of the park. The free display includes demonstrations of various martial arts as well as a lion/ dragon dance. Also held on Sunday is the Arts Fun Fair Stalls. The stalls provide arts and crafts items and photography and sketching services. If you want to spend some quality time with the family or just want to see some awesome Kung Fu moves, go down to Kowloon Park and immerse yourself in the wonders it has in store for you.
