The Sights and Sounds of Central Hong Kong

Hong Kong has basically two areas of interest for tourists, Kowloon and Hong Kong Island which is separated by the Victoria Harbour. Since I only had two full days in Hong Kong, I spent the first day exploring the Kowloon side of Hong Kong and the second day exploring Central on Hong Kong Island.

Central is basically the central business district with corporate banking institution skyscrapers.

I found the Central district of Hong Kong to be very clean and organized. Taxis usually make up most of the cars on the road.

Walking is the preferred method along with taking the MTR (mass transit railway) subway system.

Another form of transportation is the tram network that can be found in the Central district.

High end shopping can be found near Central MTR Station such as Louis Vuitton, Dolce & Gabbana, Ermenegildo Zegna, Hermes, Rolex, and De Beers.

There were also parks and churches in the Central district.

One of the best malls in Central is the IFC Mall which also houses the Hong Kong MTR Station. You can literally spend all day at the IFC mall since there’s a movie theater, plentiful dining, and a plethora of shops including an Apple Store.

One of the best things about Hong Kong MTR Station is the “In-town Check In” which is the fastest way to the airport via train.

Basically if you’re staying on Hong Kong Island and you need to get to the airport, you don’t have to take an expensive taxi or a long bus. You can buy a single journey ticket from Hong Kong Station to the Airport (with 1 stop in Kowloon) for 100 HKD ~ $12.88 USD. The best part is that you can even check in your bags at Hong Kong Station and get your boarding pass from a real airline counter!

  1. Hello. How are you? Not sure if you remember but this is Tae Kim. We met last April in Brazil Rio de Janeiro when flight to the US was cancelled.

    I am reading your SNS contents thru instragram.

    As I told you before I am running a travel agency in Korea. I am sending this email to you to ask some question.
    I am running travel agency and I personally like travelling as well so your blog contents are very interesting to me but I am curious on a few things.

    It seems First2Board.com shares various high quality travel information thru blogging. How does this company make profit and cover expenses such as your travel costs? Also, how did you initiate before receiving sponsorship and how did you approach to institutions at the beginning? I know it is very sudden and you may think I am rude to ask such questions but would you please provide answers to my questions to the extent that you are able to?

  2. As well as our skin and nails, our diet greatly affects our hair. Eating healthily and drinking lots of water will keep our hair strong, healthy and manageable. Whilst we would all love to have hair with a lustrous shine, it is something few of us are naturally blessed with. Rinsing your hair with lemon juice is renowned for leaving a shine, but hair that has been greatly lightened or bleached will never have the shine of a natural color. If this is your hair, you must keep it in the best condition possible and have it trimmed regularly. Regular, deep conditioning can give it an attractive sheen.
