The Ladies Market, The Symphony of Lights, Ocean Park, The Avenue of Stars, The Peak – these are all great and essential destinations for tourists visiting Hong Kong.

What about destinations for more pro-active or adventurous visitors to Hong Kong? Below is a list of Hong Kong attractions for tourists interested in exploring Hong Kong's unique heart, and not merely its many tourist areas.
Chungking Mansions
This labyrinth of budget guesthouses, Indian restaurants, and cheap malls is the best place to witness the cultural melting pot of Hong Kong.
