HONGKONG DAY 3
March 2, 2009

Golden Bauhinia Square
The imposing Forever Blooming Bauhinia Sculpture and the Reunification Monument are located on Golden Bauhinia Square outside the Hongkong Convention and Exhibition Centre on the waterfront in Wan Chai. They mark the most significant occasion in Hongkong's history - the return of Hongkong to the People's Republic of China and the establishment of the Hongkong Special Administrative Region on 1 July 1997.

Jumbo Kingdom (Aberdeen)
The famous giant floating Chinese restaurants complex now includes a cafe, conference and banquet facilities, cultural attractions, a Cooking Academy and exhibits.

Repulse Bay
This crescent-shaped strand of sand is one of the most beautiful beaches in Hongkong. Adjacent to the beach is an ornate Chinese pavilion with two 10-metre-tall statues of traditional Chinese deities Kwun Yum and Tin Hau. The nearby Repulse Bay Complex, built in colonial style, offers upmarket shopping and dining.

The Peak
Check out the best views of the city's skyline and harbour from the Lugard Road Outlook, Lions View Point Pavilion, the viewing terrace at Peak Galleria, and the Peak Tower Sky Terrace. There's also a wide range of shops. You can also enjoy spectacular dining experiences at various restaurants offering fabulous views over the harbour. And be sure to drop by Madame Tussauds Hongkong for an engrossing interactive entertainment experience.

Ocean Park
The park features thrill rides as well as amazing aquarium exhibits and performances by various sea creatures. A cable car system links the lowland and headland sections, offering spectacular views en route. It is now home to two cuddly new residents! Giant panda cubs Ying Ying and Le Le are gifts from the Central government to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR. They join long-time residents An An and Jia Jia that were presented to Hongkong back in 1999. The whole family will enjoy Skyfair, a thrilling balloon ride where you can soar more than 100 metres into the air for a breathtaking view of the majestic south side of Hongkong. Other popular additions have been the Sea Jelly Spectacular, Abyss Turbo Drop, the Mine Train, Amazing Amazon and the Flying Swing.
