Hong Kong
Kowloon
Neon streets, night markets and the best harbour view in town
About Kowloon
Across the harbour from Hong Kong Island, Kowloon is louder, denser and full of energy. Tsim Sha Tsui's waterfront promenade faces the island skyline, lighting up each night with A Symphony of Lights, while Nathan Road leads north into Jordan, Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok's street markets.
It's a great base for first-time visitors: many hotels, direct Airport Express and MTR links, and easy access to the Temple Street Night Market, sky100 observation deck, West Kowloon Cultural District and the high-speed rail station for mainland China.
