No.19-21 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon Hong Kong, China, 2929-2888

We checked into the Kowloon Hotel which is basically a business class hotel. However, it is clean, centrally located and they have a good buffet breakfast every morning with foods ranging from traditional Asian to European and Western. We are in breakfast paradise. The view from our room was not too exciting. Nov 30 We signed up for a half day City Tour: Victoria Peak had some nice views. We also visited Stanley Market, Repulse Bay, Aberdeen. We rode a Sampan and saw a lot of fish hanging and...
Hong kong, Hong Kong homhead... and back to Hong Kong, city of concrete, city of leaking a/c window units that release a permanent, not entirely unwanted, drizzle of cool water over pedestrians' heads. City of Indians, city of incredibly rude sales personnel at electronics stores, city of expensive food, city of McDonald's, city of rules & exclusions, city of denghue-warning posters (and plenty of stagnant water), city of the Avenue of the Stars... I actually surprised myself by liking Hong Kong a lot at second glan...
Kowloon, Hong Kong katieontherunHong Kong is such a busy place, literally non-stop. We spent five brilliant days there. We stayed in a hotel in Kowloon which was lovely but the rooms were tiny and it was on the 13th floor of a building which looked like a ghetto! The hotel was like a little oasis amid all the chaos. We met Josh from New Zealand in a camera shop and then again on Vic Peak, what are the chances of bumping into the same person twice in a city of millions?? So we decided we'd meet up again for a few pints in th...
Hong Kong, China lesandsteveToday was another transit day, en route to Hong Kong. We took the train to Kowloon station where a shuttle bus dropped us off at our hotel. We arrived at the Kowloon Hotel around 1:15pm to find that our room wasn't ready yet, so we headed off to get some lunch. We ran into a Dim Sum place just around the corner. Wow, lots of onion and garlic! We quickly used up an hour and made our way back to the hotel to get our room. We headed off in search of some shopping bargains, but we couldn't find o...
Hong Kong, Hong Kong michncamArriving in Hong Kong felt like coming home. This was Paul's first visit and he loved it. We moved into a suite at the Empire Kowloon Hotel for an extended stay. We took a break from sightseeing and just experienced Hong Kong. We visited family and friends. We wandered the busy streets. We shopped. We ate and ate. As the children of Hong Kong immigrants, experiencing the mother ship gives you a deeper understanding of why your parents are the way they are. So that is why they insist on carryi...
Hong Kong, Hong Kong paulandmelI arrived in Hong Kong to meet my parents who've come to see what I'm up to out here, and Hong Kong is an awful lot nicer as a place to meet than Southern China for the uninitiated. The horror stories of new arrivals trying to figure out how to get into China are legion, and I need no excuse to go and visit Hong Kong myself. So it was that I arrived in the plush and pampered hotel bar of a Kowloon hotel and was delighted to see a couple of friendly familiar faces. My parents were quite enjoyi...
