Kowloon, Hong Kong


Kowloon is quite the place for shoppers.  There are numerous high-end name brand stores around the Tsim Sha Tsui end of the Kowloon peninsula, while busy and fascinating street markets feature at the Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok areas at the other end of Nathan RoadKowloon is the shoppers paradise.

The Kowloon Waterfront offers splendid views of the Hong Kong island shore and skyline.  This is the best place to experience the classic view of Hong Kong, and nobody on their first trip here should miss out on strolling along this gorgeous waterfront.

Start at the Star Ferry terminal, and begin your walk by inspecting the historic clock tower which is all that remains of a railway station that once took colonial officials back to London via the Trans-Siberian railway.  Upon arrival at the Star Ferry terminal in Tsim Sha Tsui, visitors can not help but be impressed by the enormous cruise liners parked in the heart of the city.
