Things To Do In South Beach Miami

Victoria Harbor
By far the best tourist spot to visit in Hong Kong, the Victoria harbor boasts of one of the most beautiful skyline in the world. A cool fact about the harbor is that because of some reasons, either land reclamation or demolition or reconstruction, the cityscape keeps changing. If you had visited the city a few years back and are visiting it again today, you’ll notice a lot of difference between the two photos of the harbor taken from the same spot.

Every evening at 8 o’clock, as the darkness settles and the skyline lights up, you get to see one of the most amazing sights of buildings lighting up. The Victoria harbor light show holds the Guinness World Record for being ‘The world’s largest permanent light and sound show’. The best vantage points to witness this spectacle are by the Avenue of Stars and the Cultural center. Another good way to see this is the ‘Symphony of lights’ dinner cruise.

Victoria Peak
You can get the best view of the city from the Victoria peak, if you’re lucky enough. There are two major obstacles to your enjoyment. The first one is the crowd – if you happen to go to the peak during weekends or in the peak season, you’re going to wait in the line for hours together just to get in! The other problem is the obstruction to your view because of the smog. It’s a rare chance for tourists to get to the peak on a cloudless and clear day.

You can make it to the top on a clear day and you’ll realize the effort was worth it. The spots on the peak are a photographer’s delight. The shopping center (yes, a shopping center on the peak) is a fun place to visit too. The funicular tram ride is what tourists all over the world come to Victoria peak for and will swear that it was the best 7 minutes of their trip to Hong Kong.

Avenue of Stars
If you believe Hong Kong to be ‘the Hollywood of the Orient’, then you cannot miss out on this. The place has everything a movie buff can appreciate – a walk of fame dedicated to all the top contributions of the biggest Japanese movie artists, including a huge bronze statue of Bruce Lee. The Avenue of Stars provides one of the best views of the symphony of lights. You can also catch a fireworks show if you happen to be there on special occasions. Read the rest of this entry »

What to Do Before Leaving?

The safety begins at the time of packing for your trip. You should be very careful while you are selecting your stuff otherwise you will end up facing some unwanted situations. Here are a few suggestions as to what and how much to carry, what to wear, etc., when your are on your foreign trip.

Money
•Do not ever carry cash more than required. Try to make maximum use of your credit and debit cards.
•Men should keep the cash as well as cards in the front pockets whereas women can use a hand bag tucked under the arm so that no one can reach it without your notice. Use different places to keep the cards to avoid credit card problems like losing them all at once.
•When you reach the hotel put your credit/ debit cards in the main safe of the hotel or in your personal locker in the room.
Jewelry
•Do not allow yourself to be targeted by wearing wrong attention seeking jewelry. Keep all the gold and other precious jewelry at home and wear something light and artificial.
•If you have to carry the expensive jewelry, like when you are attending a wedding, confirm places in your luggage to hide your jewelry.
Dressing
•You might wonder, how can dressing help you stay safe while traveling. But, it actually makes a lot of difference.
•If your plane suffers a hi-jack, you should go unnoticed among all the people. This can only happen when you are dressed in casual wears and dull colors. Slacks and T-shirts will help you move easily in an emergency.
