HK Island, a busy, bustling city with so many varied activities to try!

So much to do and so many beautiful things to see on HK island alone.
Spend a Wednesday evening soaking up the atmosphere of the Happy Valley horse racing and have a go at a small bet …. There is always beginner’s luck if you have never tried this before!
There is so much greenery surrounding the city so why not try a hike along the Dragon’s back. This is a fun way to get rid of some pounds after having tried a selection of delicious dim sum at City hall. You can even walk to Shek O beach and take a swim.
An evening trip on the Star ferry is an economical way to see the harbour front and get some magnificent photos of the sunset.
A leisurely walk along the Tin Hau/ Causeway Bay promenade lets you see the lights of Kowloon and HK island and there are plenty of seats and paddle boats if you fancy a rest or gentle activity of paddling on the water.
A tram ride to the Peak is a must with a flat easy walk around the top enabling you to see HK from all perspectives.
A trip to Stanley market enables you to find all your holiday gifts in one place !! Take the No . 6 double decker bus, sit at the top and enjoy the views as the bus chugs along the coastline to the southern part of the island.
On the way back go to Aberdeen and see all the traditional fishing boats. Sadly the floating Restaurant that featured in so many films has been demolished but still a lot to take in and enjoy.
Hong Kong Island has so much to offer!
