The Victoria Peak – It is also known as Mount Austin; the peak, it is one point where you can see this province in all of its magnificence. It can be reached by foot or train, be it evening or night, the view (watching tall sky-scraper beside taller sky-scraper) is not only fun in itself, but you may find yourself giving an inadvertent bow to Chinese communism. When you try to take in the exquisite post-card like image, even more spectacular is the scenery while travelling up and back by the Peak train.
Hong Kong Space Museum - One of the sites which draws both adult and young crowds, this museum of astronomy and space science, in Tsim Sha Tsui, coming to know that it got completed in 1980, and was in the works since 1961.

Not simply a place where you go and take a stroll around, these ornate halls not only quench the young thirsty minds but can also satiate the adult mind.
