This lovely, tree-lined neighborhood bordering the Pearl River was once home to foreign merchants, and today is a laid-back area ideal for strolling or stopping for a meal or cup of tea.

We stopped by after hearing about this area of town from plenty of other folks. We took a cab over from our hotel- roughly 15 minutes - and walked around for about 2 hours. Even at 9 am in the summer, it’s hot! We went through plenty of water and even found a 7-11 where we got a slurpee! I hadn’t had one is about 20 years, but that cools to the core! The white swan hotel, the fingerprinting guy at Helen’s place and the fabled friendship garden statues were all on the agenda and made for a good morning. We got plenty of souvenirs at Michael’s place and worked up an appetite sweating the rest of the morning! Takeaways - the maps here are not helpful and things can be hard to find. If you can map things out s bit beforehand, it’s worth it...or just get on WiFi. A great half day excursion that can go, basically as long as you want it to! Worth checking out for sure!

The highest portion of the upscale hotels, malls, restaurants, and other commercial establishments are in this district. Especially nice to walk around in the evening when it is a little cooler. It has changed a lot since I first stayed in this district in 2006.

This major tourist hub is complete with many shops and landmark, such as the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower. Some call this area Hong Kong's equivalent to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

It’s a shopping district with various choices on food, among other stuffs. You can definitely do window shopping here, and it is worth mentioning that this is the place where some of the HK museums are located (e.g HK Space Museum)

Easy to walk around in a couple of hours. Pretty gardens and pavilions and lots of shops to buy your souvenirs. Interesting old buildings, fabulous tea houses and lots of produce to tease the senses. Worthwhile. Beware though it is crowded and so be careful of your belongings.
5. Pudong New Area
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,187 reviews
"Pudong, in its 13-year history, has surprisingly progressed in its economic strength and its urban development. This 556-sqaure-kilometer farmland 13 years ago is well on its way toward a modern metropolis. As the epitome of Shanghai' modernization and the symbol of China's reform and opening up drive, Pudong has become an ideal land for global investors."

For an incredible sight, enjoy viewing the nighttime lighted buildings in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai. It's like Times Square and the Las Vegas strip all in one. Amazingly beautiful. You can do this while visiting three of China's most famous cities...Beijing, Xian and Shanghai on an eight-day China Discovery Tour. My wife and I arranged our China Discovery Tour via email with tour representative Catherine Liu after checking out the tour on the Internet. Catherine was wonderful to work with as she was very professional, replied quickly with answers to our questions, and made sure our group tours of Beijing, Xian and Shanghai had excellent guides and drivers. Our group tours in Beijing included a visit to Tian'anmen Square, The Forbidden City, the Temple of Heaven and gave us the fascinating opportunity to walk on the Great Wall. In Xian, a lovely city that was once the capital of China, we visited the site of the world-famous Terra-cotta Warriors. Amazing tour. If you have time in Xian, make sure to have dinner at one of the Hot Pot restaurants. A fun experience somewhat like the old days of cheese fondue dinners...but without the cheese. In Shanghai, the most flourishing metropolis in China, highlights will include a visit to the Bund, the multinational classic building complex along the river, a ride to the 85th floor the Global Financial Center for a bird's eye view of Shanghai, and lunch at a local restaurant. During your eight-day group tour (private tours are also available) you will stay in excellent five-star hotels, see the countryside when you ride a high speed bullet train from Beijing to Xian and fly from Xian to Shanghai. We highly recommend the China Discovery Tour on a visit to China. It is a quick way to tour three of China's most well-known cities. Contact Catherine Liu at [email protected] for more information. You will be glad you did.

Sai Kung is a small fishing village with picturesque boats, beaches and mountain scenery. The fresh seafood is plentiful and there are many dining options and wine bars along the seaside promenade. A day at the beach here makes for a nice change of pace from Hong Kong.

We joined an one day tour in Chengdu.Bi Peng Gou is in North-west of the city. The highest point is above 3800M. There are 2 shuttle buses to take people there.We went there in a rainy day. The fog and white cloud were floating around mountains and lakes.The air was fresh and clean. PM2.5 and PM10 were 0, although there was less Oxygen. We saw snow on the trees and mountains and water falls from the top of mountain. Green grass and red rocks made landscaping colorful.

Reviewed By natlscales - Columbus, United States
The place is safe, fun, amazing. You can get 10 shots for $20 US dollars! Hard Rock Cafe is in the center and is a great place to chill. The cops are cool and no issues what so ever. You can buy your drinks at 7 Eleven and walk around. Open until 6am.. Beware: Taxi drivers will try to screw you on cab fares. Only pay what the law requires, if they don’t comply, tell them you’ll call the local authorities.
