Walk Under The Neon Lights Of Nathan Road In Hong Kong

I always look forward to walking in Hong Kong. I get to enjoy every single detail – feast my eyes on the brightly colored merchandise, savor the smell of food that is being cooked from a nearly street stall, and enjoy the feel of wind on my face. For me, the best time to walk in Hong Kong is at night the streets are transformed to one big galaxy of lights.

Hong Kong is known for its neon lights most especially the ones that you get to see in and around Nathan Road. These neon signs are hard to miss even during the day. But they are just much more impressive and more noticeable at night when they come alive. These huge neon signs, that are both in Chinese and English, characterize Hong Kong so much that a lot of tourists take souvenir pictures along this road with the neon signs as background.

Depending on which of the numerous hotels in Hong Kong you are staying in, you can easily reach Nathan Road which is one o f the major streets in Kowloon and stretches from Tsim Sha Tsui to Mong Kok. It is lined with some of the best restaurants, luxurious hotels, tailors, money changers, boutiques and stores that sell jewelry, electronics, camera equipment, souvenirs, etc. This street is packed with people 24/7 and one of the busiest streets in Hong Kong.
