Hong Kong Tourist Attractions

Millions of tourists flock to experience Hong Kong's wonders every year. Hong Kong's visitors seek out a wide range of natural, cultural and cosmopolitan attractions. The most popular attractions during the past few years have included:

New Territories

Che Kung Temple/ Tsang Tai Uk
Located Area: Shatin

The temple is dedicated to the admirable "Che Kung" (General Che), a great soldier who achieved fame by putting down a rebellion in South China during the Sung Dynasty (AD 960-1279). He is said to have accompanied the Emperor when he fled to Hong Kong before the fall of the Sung Dynasty. After his death, people began worshipping him for his courage and fealty.

Ching Chung Koon
Located Area: Tuen Mun

This Taoist temple in Tuen Mun New Town embodies all the charm and visual delights of traditional temples in Mainland China, with visual surprises around virtually every corner.

Ping Shan Heritage Trail
Located Area: Yuen Long

It is a rare privilege to find so many ancient buildings still standing in the Yuen Long district of the New Territories, and the best of these aged relics have been connected by the Ping Shan Heritage Trail.

Mai Po Wetlands
Located Area: Yuen Long

Tai Fu Tei
Located Area: Yuen Long

This is a famous old building in San Tin ( The New Territories of HK ). The owner of this building qualified in the examination held by Emperor of Ching Dynasty and the 'certificate' is still hanging under the ceiling as you can see. And Nasir, this shot is also posted for you. No cropping is done, and you can see no fall-offs at all corners, no distortion and finally, very high resolution with great contrast performance. Buy one, if you are lucky as me, find a 'brand new' 2nd hand with reasonable price ( I did ). By the way, the angle of the viewfinder is similar to the 15mm lens, with experiences you only need to use one for both lenses.

Tsing Ma Bridge
Located Area: Tsing Yi

The explanation is that the Airport Express, which whisks them across the bridge in either direction, travels through one of two rail tunnels slung beneath two three-lane carriageways roadway. All are passengers who have either just arrived at Hong Kong's ultra-modern International Airport at Chek Lap Kok, or are hurrying there to catch their return flights.
