Hong Kong, with a population of over 7.4 million people, it is considered one of the most densely populated places in the world. Many would say it's an amazing place to visit and others not, for me, in particular, I really loved and enjoyed the sites that Hong Kong has to offer but other than that, it's not on the list of one of my favorites as for me its complete chaos and its way to busy for my liking. After spending a week in Hong Kong, my stereotype shifted from an overcrowded city with nothing but tall cemented buildings to a cosmopolitan city with a green tropical side of adventure and history.



The view of the city skyscrapers has never looked as epic as they do in Hong Kong whether its day or night there's something constantly catching your eyes, as small as Hong Kong can make you feel I promise the view it has to offer completely makes up for that. One of these breathtaking views is victoria peak, which I, unfortunately, was never able to experience as I was there for a short limited time on business, but have heard many wonderful things, and a small tip recommended from friends is the sunset from the peak is like nothing you've seen before so if you ever have the chance id say do what I couldn't!



Victoria Harbor, the dazzling night light show is performed with these beautiful harmonic sounds given to you by the world's best skyline ( symphony of lights ) takes place every night. This beautiful show can, of course, be seen from the harbor walk as well as if your timing is right as mine was you can view it from a fairy that crosses over the river from Kowloon and Hong Kong island.


The Avenue of Stars, something I visited almost every day during my stay, a model of the Hollywood walk of fame, is an avenue located along the Victoria Harbour waterfront in Tsim Sha Tsui in Hong Kong. It honors celebrities of the Hong Kong film industries, Not as stars as it would be in Hollywood but rather handprints, Victoria Harbor is just everything wait until you meet Mr. Bruce Lee himself, well his statue that is.



Hong Kong space museum was absolutely incredible by far the best space museum I've been to, not just once but 3 times yes that's how much I enjoyed it. It is an astronomy and space science museum located in Tsim Sha Tsui which was opened in 1980, and with that being said Tsim Sha Tsui has been mentioned a few times and the reason for that is because it offers so many incredible sites just like, Hong Kongs museum of art, Hong Kong cultural center which are all phenomenal.


I can continue for hours on the beautiful attractions Hong Kong has to offer, but its time for the highlight of my trip and before continuing I ask you this, what was your biggest dream as a child, where did you want to go the most out of all the places in the world? Disneyland was mine, was it yours? Well, I'm lucky and blessed to say my dreams came true like Pinocchio I all of a sudden became a kid again, Hong Kong Disneyland is a theme park located on a reclaimed land in Penny's Bay on Lantau Island, yes the famous Disneyland resort is on its own island how Bazar is that!


Disneyland Hong Kong being the highlight of my trip which is for most when visiting Hong kong it is home to thrilling rides like hyperspace mountain and the iron man experience this family-friendly theme park puts on some of the most incredible stage shows and parades which just turn time around and honestly makes you feel as if your apart of the fairytale and what's the best way to end a Disneyland experience, well with the best way possible of course with a show from Micky and Minnie with fireworks that light up the night sky.


And as always stay strong and keep smiling much love Eve.
