| Kowloon Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Avenue of Stars Avenue of Stars Stephanie Ha Kowloon is one of the four parts that makes the Hong Kong territory these days. The tip of the peninsula, which faces Hong Kong island, is probably the best known part of Kowloon. It is one big melting pot of streets crawling with shops and tourists, covered up under a spell of neon at night. In this sense, the 'nine dragons' (the literal translation of 'Kowloon') beat the touristy tiger of the neighbouring Hong Kong island! Although it might appear as if money is the only ruling factor here, the current 'Hong Kong Cultural Centre' tries to prove the opposite. Most museums are located in this centre and it offers a good alternative when you have had it with the jade shops, bird markets and fortune-tellerstands in the shopping areas of 'Tsim Sha Tsui' and 'Nathan Road'. Tsim Sha Tsui, at the tip of the Kowloon Peninsula, is the territory's tourist ghetto. It consists of one sq km of shops, restaurants, pubs, topless bars and camera stores. However, Kowloon is also home to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, the Space Museum, the famous Peninsula Hotel and the Museum of History. The Promenade, in East Tsim Sha Tsui, is a great place for a stroll, and has wonderful views of Victoria Harbour, particularly at night. The liveliest night market in the territory is on Temple St in Yau Ma Tei. __________Sights Edit This Hong Kong Skyline Hong Kong Skyline Andrew Pidgeon Maybe you get the impression Kowloon has nothing but shops. There are indeed a lot of them but there are also a few others places that are worth a visit. Kowloon has several markets and a hand full of museums and temples, such as the colorful Wong Tai Sin Temple. A nice place to take a rest is the 'Kowloon Park'. You will find Chinese gardens, sculptures, waterfalls and rare trees. It also houses the 'Hong Kong Museum of History' and the 'Kowloon Mosque'. This place used to house the Qing fortress, the only area in Hong Kong not ruled by the British.

In short, a visit to this temple, surrounded by vast, government housing estates, provides insight into Chinese religious practices and is well worth a stop despite its out-of-the-way location. Wong Tai Sin is Hong Kong's most popular Taoist temple, visited by more than 3 million worshipers. Although the temple itself dates only from 1973, it adheres to traditional Chinese architectural principles with its red pillars, two-tiered golden roof, blue friezes, yellow latticework, and more.. type: Temples World66 rating: [rate it] address: Wong Tai Sin Estate openinghours: daily 7am-5:30pm Hong Kong Space Museum Edit This The Space Museum is easy to spot with its white-domed planetarium. It's divided into two parts: the Exhibition Halls with its Hall of Space Science and the Hall of Astronomy; and the Space Theatre. The Hall of Space Science explores the human journey to space, with exhibits on ancient astronomical history, science fiction, early rockets, manned spaceflights, and future space programs. There are also several interactive rides and exhibits, including a ride on a virtual paraglider, a harness that holds occupants aloft with the same approximate gravity they'd experience walking on more.. type: Museums World66 rating: [rate it] address: Hong Kong Cultural Centre Complex, Salisbury Road 10, Tsim Sha Tsui Man Mo Temple Edit This Hong Kong Island's oldest and most important temple was built in the 1840s and is named after its two principal deities: Man, the god of literature, who is dressed in red and holds a calligraphy brush; and Mo, the god of war, wearing a green robe and holding a sword. Ironically, Mo finds patronage from both the police force (shrines in his honor can be found in all Hong Kong police stations) and triad secret societies. Two ornately carved sedan chairs in the temple were once used during festivals to carry the statues of the gods around the neighborhood. But what makes the temple more.. type: Temples World66 rating: [rate it] openinghours: Daily 8am-6pm Hong Kong Museum of History Edit This More than 500 exhibits cover four floors, with sections devoted to the life sciences; light, sound and motion; virtual reality; meteorology and geography; electricity and magnetism; computer and robotics; construction; and transportation and communication. Visitors can play with different optical illusions, enter a rotating room to learn physics in a noninertial frame, "freeze" their shadow on a wall, and pick up remote voices with a large parabolic disc. There are exhibits designed to test a visitor's fitness, such as lung capacity, endurance, and blood pressure. type: Museums World66 rating: [rate it] address: Kowloon Park, Haiphong Road, Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower Edit This The Clock Tower was part of the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Terminus.

A few blocks north, Mong Kok has long held the distinction of being one of the world's most densely populated urban areas. Although parts of the district have been modernised, it remains a cheerfully crowded community and a hive of shopping activity. Lively open-air Temple Street Night Market is the most popular haunt for bargains. Though it opens at 2:00pm, the market really comes to life at dusk. Its stallholders specialise in inexpensive more.. type: Hot Spots World66 rating: [rate it] __________Getting Around Edit This There is no tram like on Hong Kong Island to get you around town.

West of this train station is the Cross-Harbour Tunnel that links Kowloon to Hong Kong island. Nearby is also the Hung Hom Ferry Pier, which offers services to Central, Wan Chai, and North Point. __________Nightlife and Entertainment Edit This Ned Kelly's Ned Kelly's unknown Display all or display just: Bars & Cafes Casinos Dancing Jazz Karaoke Show best rated on top | Show in alphabetical order [Add Entertainment place] Ned Kelly's Last Stand Edit This Ned Kelly's Ned Kelly's photo by: unknown The oldest JAZZ bar in Asia!
