Central Plaza — Attraction in Hong Kong

An "Awesome Skyline"- at Night & Day!! When I first visited HK in 1969 the "skyline" was barely evident. Now there are about 9,000+ high rise buildings, all against the backdrop of the nearby mountains-- one of the most stunning building complex is Central Plaza and the buildings on the shores of Victoria Harbour. It is also amazing to see the coordinated evening "light show" demonstrated by 44 buildings on Victoria Harbour (which has been recognized by the "Guinness Book of Records). Perhaps the best views can be readily accessed by riding the Star Ferry-- Day or Night! TripAdvisor has justly awarded it the "Certificate of Excellence". It is much more than "memorable"!

Note that 46th floor does not open to public on Sunday.

Tips for Travelers: It’s highly recommended to opt for hotels or hostels in other areas rather than the overpriced and poorly maintained hostels (often misrepresented as hotels) found in the dilapidated mansions of the...
