Tour of Nathan Road – The neon lights of Nathan Road are an iconic Hong Kong image and the heart of the Tsim Sha Tsui district.

Hong Kong Space Museum– Ideal if you have a horde of bored kids in tow, the Hong Kong Space Museum has a host of hands on exhibits that can twisted, pressed and pushed.
Hong Kong Museum of Art – Perhaps Hong Kong’s only, truly world class museum, the collection here is particularly strong on traditional Chinese crafts and paintings and also has a worthwhile exhibition on much maligned Hong Kong art.
Chungking Mansions - One of Hong Kong’s most iconic buildings both derided and loved; immortalized in Hong Kong movies, home to some of the best ethnic cuisine in the city, as well as the cheapest accommodation in Hong Kong.
The Peninsula Hotel – Built in the 1920s, the Peninsula was once the hottest ticket in town for socialites and visiting sheiks. While the colonial party may have sailed off into the sunset, the colonial elegance means the Peninsula is still one of the city’s finest hotels.
