Hong Kong Accommodation & Cheap Lodging

With its subtropical climate, beautiful scenery, a flood of electronic gadgets, lively nightlife and exquisite food, Hong Kong is a tourist's paradise! Twenty-five million people come here every year – to a city with one of the highest densities of skyscrapers in the world.

Hong Kong is a young, pulsating city full of energy. This is evident to anyone standing on the quay in Tsim Sha Tsui and looking at Hong Kong Island's impressive skyscraper horizon. Furthermore, this is a city which has succeeded in making an art out of squeezing seven million people into an area of 1000 square kilometres. You can find everything here: some of the world's most exciting skyscraper architecture, fashionable shopping malls, a subtropical wilderness and one of the world's hottest financial districts. The crossroads between Queen's Road and Pedder Street is said to be the busiest in the world. Among the crowds in central Hong Kong, the visitor will find many of the most attractive shops, as well as the main entertainment district of Lan Kwai Fong. SoHo – south of Hollywood Road – is where you will find the world's largest system of interconnected escalators, a vibrating artery linking together restaurants, cafés, bars, interior design shops and shopping malls. For the fashion-conscious, a visit to Causeway Bay is recommended - here it is chiefly young people who enjoy combing the fashion boutiques until late into the evening. Anyone who loses their way in the alleys of the technology paradise of Kowloon will find their way to an interesting restaurant in the Chinese quarter of Central or decide to take a swim in Stanley… And so it continues. Hong Kong is an adventure.

In Hong Kong you can eat food from around the world: Thai, Indian, British, Italian and not least, Chinese. You can eat well for a little or a lot – it is often the decor that determines the price tag.

Hong Kong Bars & Nightlife In part, this means that Hong Kong only wakes up in the evening – the pleasure-seeking Hong Kong visitor has plenty to choose from. Irrespective of whether you like English pubs, karaoke palaces or designer bars. Most of the action is in Central, but for those who want to experience more authentic nightlife, it is worth going to Causeway Bay or Tsim Sha Tsui. Dance your night away to whatever beat you may prefer. May it be hip hop, eclectic house or dance music, there's something for everyone!

Hong Kong Stores and shopping streets
If you like shopping, you have come to the right place. Browse among beautiful Chinese antique bargains, designer clothes – but above all, electronic gadgets. The fact is that it is difficult to avoid shops wherever you are in the city. The main shopping areas are to be found in the district of Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon and along Nathan Road, but these are not the only places by a long chalk. Some highlights in the Centre include Shanghai Tang (12 Pedder Street) - here you will find tasteful versions of traditional Chinese clothes. Another is Arch Angel Antiques (53-55 Hollywood Road) which actually specialises in antique porcelain, but here you will also find traditional Chinese furniture, books, vases, mah-jong games and handy gifts. Half an hour's bus-ride from the city is the sandy beach at Stanley with its market. At Stanley Market you will find the usual souvenirs, and it is an easy way to get a little sand between your toes into the bargain. Another well-known market is Temple St Night Market (Tube: Yau Ma Tei, Jordan) that got its name from Tin Hau Temple in the same street. This is the perfect place for anyone looking for clothes and watches. In the northern part of the street you can eat anything from simple noodle soups to fancy Chinese dishes. Even if you are not good at finding bargains by nature, come and get your share of the bargains during your stay in Hong Kong - a shopper's paradise. A tip is to ask someone who lives in Hong Kong where he or she normally gets the best price - you will presumably get your best bargain there!
