Kowloon Kowloon (九龍, "nine dragons" in Cantonese) is the peninsula to the north of Hong Kong Island. It lacks some of the glamour of the Island, but makes up for it with unmatched and distinctly Chinese vibrancy: Kowloon is by some measures the most densely populated place on the planet, and has a matching array of places to shop, eat and sleep. Tsim Sha Tsui (尖沙咀), the tip of the peninsula, is Hong Kong's main tourist drag and backpacker ghetto, while Mong Kok (旺角) packs in a huge array of shops and markets in an area of less than a square kilometer. Get in The classic way to get to Kowloon is by the Star Ferry from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui, only $2.2. Most of Hong Kong's rail lines also converge on Kowloon. See Kowloon Park Cruise ships berthed at Ocean Terminal The Kowloon Waterfront offers splendid views of the Hong Kong shoreline and skyline. At night the best spots to take photographs from are occupied by enterprising locals who will take your picture for money. A Symphony Of Lights. Every night at 8pm there is a light show involving Hong Kong Island's key buildings. On Monday evenings, spectators can listen to the show's music and English narration live at the Avenue of Stars, on radio on FM103.4 MHz or by calling 35 665 665. From the waterfront you can take the Star Ferry to Hong Kong Island, getting an excellent view of the skyline in the process. Built in the 1950s, Shek Kip Mei Estate is the only place where you can see the living conditions in Hong Kong during the 50s - 60s. There are still a few blocks of buildings built in 1950s and residents are still living in them! Walk from Shek Kip Mei MTR Station. Hong Kong Space Museum Hong Kong Cultural Centre Do Tai Chi Free lessons in English every Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday morning from 8am-9am on the Avenue of Stars. Buy If your budget doesn't quite stretch to the Tiffanys, Guccis and Shanghai Tangs of Hong Kong Island, head to Kowloon for more affordable shopping. Stores Tsim Sha Tsui's main drag Nathan Road is packed with stores, particularly cheap electronics shops. Be careful when shopping here: these slippery guys know every trick in the book and some stores are notorious for overcharging tourists. Normally locals seldom go to Tsim Sha Tsui for electronic products. It is more advisible to go to Mong Kok or Sham Shui Po instead. Harbour City is an enormous shopping mall in Tsim Sha Tsui, the largest in Hong Kong. It is next to the Star Ferry pier. There are almost shops of any description there. The goods are mostly mid price range to high price brand name goods. If you are book lover on travel and like to meet other backpackers, you can try The Travellers Home Bookshop located on 2/f 55 Hankow Road, Tsim Sha Tsui. Festival Walk is another excellent shopping all in the suburb of Kowloon Tong. A very pleasant place to shop, similar... more travelguide information

The Space Museum is easy to spot with its white-domed planetarium. It's divided into two parts: the Exhibition Halls with its Hall of Space Science and the Hall of Astronomy; and the Space Theatre. The Hall of Space Science explores the human journey to space, with exhibits on ancient astronomical history, science fiction, early rockets, manned spaceflights, and future space programs. There are also several interactive rides and exhibits, including a ride on a virtual paraglider, a harness that holds occupants aloft with the same approximate gravity they'd experience walking on the moon, and a multi-axis chair developed for astronaut training that gives the sensation of tumbling through space. The Hall of Astronomy presents information on the solar system, solar science, the stars, and the universe.

Wong Tai Sin takes its name, in fact, from a legendary shepherd who learned the art of healing. In short, a visit to this temple, surrounded by vast, government housing estates, provides insight into Chinese religious practices and is well worth a stop despite its out-of-the-way location. Wong Tai Sin is Hong Kong's most popular Taoist temple, visited by more than 3 million worshipers. Although the temple itself dates only from 1973, it adheres to traditional Chinese architectural principles with its red pillars, two-tiered golden roof, blue friezes, yellow latticework, and multicolored carvings. What makes the temple so popular, however, is that everyone who comes here is seeking information about their fortune--from advice about business or horse racing to determining which day is most auspicious for a wedding. Most worshipers make use of a bamboo container holding numbered sticks. After lighting a joss stick and kneeling before the main altar, the worshiper gently shakes the container until one of the sticks falls out. The number corresponds to a certain fortune, which is then interpreted by a soothsayer at the temple. You can wander around the temple grounds, on which can be found halls dedicated to the Buddhist Goddess of Mercy and Confucius; the Nine Dragon Garden, a Chinese garden with a pond, waterfall, and a replica of the famous Nine Dragons mural (the original is in Beijing's Imperial Palace); the Good Wish Garden, a replica of the Yi He Garden in Beijing with circular, square, octagonal, and fan-shaped pavilions, ponds, an artificial waterfall, and rocks and concrete fashioned to resemble animals; and a clinic with both Western medical services and traditional Chinese herbal treatments.
