Hong Kong Holidays

Kowloon is the peninsula to the north of Hong Kong Island. It lacks some of the glamour of the Island, but makes up for it with unmatched and distinctly Chinese vibrancy: Kowloon is by some measures the most densely populated place on the planet, and has a matching array of places to shop, eat and sleep. Tsim Sha Tsui the tip of the peninsula, is Hong Kong's main tourist drag and backpacker ghetto, while Mong Kok packs in a huge array of shops and markets in an area of less than a square kilometer. The Promenade, in East Tsim Sha Tsui, is a great place for a stroll, and has wonderful views of Victoria Harbour, particularly at night.
