Day 1 - Night Tour

Sign boards Posted by Hello

You know you are in Hong Kong when you see signboards, signboards and more signboards. I reckon that the number of lit signboards (Big and small) along the streets of Kowloon and Hong Kong has already crossed the 100,000th mark. Making and installing of signboards is indeed lucrative business in Hong Kong.

Night view Posted by Hello

The best place to be at night in Hong Kong is the old ferry terminal at Tsim Sha Tsui opposite the magnificent skyline of Hong Kong Island. Highly accessible from Nathan Road, one can reach this strategic viewing spot by bus, taxi, MTR or simply by foot.

Fortune teller Posted by Hello

On a stretch of road along Temple Street Night Market, you will find fortune tellers offering their services. You cannot find another fortune teller other than on this stretch of road. This is the same for other goods and services, for example pets, electronic goods, ladies' wear and sports' wear. The respective shops are consolidated within a or a few streets which facilitates competition. That is why shopping can be so cheap in Hong Kong. Do not forget to bargain.
