Hong Kong Island Attractions

What to See in Hong Kong Island

Hong Kong Island is for many people the essence of what Hong Kong is all about. There are a few cultural attractions that you might want to try and there are certainly a lot of fun destinations for the family. It takes about two days to get through Hong Kong Island's attractions. A simply must-do is to visit Victoria Peak; the highest point of the island (though not of Hong Kong), where you'll have a spectacular view and at night, it gets even better as the cityscape of Kowloon twinkles and tempts across the deep-water harbour.

Hong Kong Ocean Park

The Park is located on the south end of Hong Kong Island, in the Aberdeen District. The larger of two sections is on the headlands of Mount Nanlang. The smaller section is in the Huang Zhu Keng Valley lowlands with the Tai Shue Wan entrance and the main entrance connected by cable-car. The theme park currently has over 14 rides and other attractions such as aquariums. Besides housing two roller coasters, Ocean Park also features giant pandas, a jellyfish and Chinese sturgeon aquarium, as well as a four-story aquarium displaying more than 2,000 fish. The Shark Aquarium is an underwater viewing tunnel. In the aquarium, black tip reef sharks, pygmy swell sharks and other kinds of large fish glide smoothly overhead.

Location: Tuesday to Sunday; 10:00-18:00 (10:00-23:00 in summer)
