Glorious Blooms of Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a city of contrasts and diversities. The city is highly urbanized modern city. But a closer look beyond the shiny edifice reveals the ancient culture associated with the city that makes it stand out as an unusual, exotic destination.

A riot of colors greets the eye as you approach Flower Market Road, as its sidewalk is lined with street stalls selling flower with stems and potted plants. The variety of flowers ranges from roses and gerberas, to the more exotic orchids and birds of paradise. The Chinese New Year sees business scaling new heights in varieties of flowers considered auspicious, like narcissi, poinsettias and yellow chrysanthemums.

This set of shops on Flower Market Road near Prince Edward Road West, is called the Flower Market. This is a selling ground for flowers from all over the world, at wholesale rates for bulk purchases and at retail prices for small quantities. The market provides a far larger variety and range of colors than any flower shop and the amount one would pay for a dozen roses at a florist’s, would buy a far bigger bunch of flowers of unmatched freshness and aroma that lingers for long. It is the ideal place to buy a gift for someone special.

Hong Kong’s Flower Market is small and compact, but its size in no way reflects the variety, freshness and scents of the blooms that adorn its stalls. This magical place is open every day from 7:00 am to 7:30 pm.

Hotels in Hong Kong offer a variety of facilities and services for the city traveler and if you are looking for a place that’s ultra-luxurious and comforting after a great day at the Flower Market and its surrounding, head straight to the Langham Place Hotel Hong Kong to experience a wonderful time.

In the earlier times, bird garden was a place that was visited by the bird lovers. People would quietly pass time with their favorite companions. The bird garden present on the Yuen Po Street was a non commercial spot. However, with the advent of time, people started doing business by selling the birds over there. This feature transformed the scenario to the modern day bird garden. Now you can find a variety of products related to the aves. For example plenty of birds, and in several designed cages, bird food etc can be easily found. Ever since, Hong Kong’s bird garden is a significant feature of the city.

There is an abundance of different varieties of birds present in the market. You will be surprised and overwhelmed by the creativity and colors that God has filled in this species. You are free to choose the bird of your liking and of course that price has to fit your budget. Along with the birds, you will find all the accessories that are needed to keep a bird. Various types of cages made from bamboo or teak wood can be bought. Apart from these, other handicraft items can also be spotted in the market. They are sure to appeal to your eyes. You will find vendors selling relevant bird food including live crickets. The market consists of around 70 stalls and is set between a circle of canopies.

No trip Hong Kong is complete without a stay at a luxury hotel such as the Langham Place Hotel Hong Kong. The myriad hotels in Hong Kong are able to cater to all your whims and fancies while you enjoy a well-deserved break.

Travel in Hong Kong Just Made Easy…

It’s the birth place of Jackie Chan and the trademark venue of Wong Kar Wai’s movies. Hong Kong is a modern day paradise which is located on China’s south coast on the Pearl River delta, bordering Guangdong province and South China Sea. Renowned as one of the densely populated areas in the world, Hong Kong is a sophisticated shopping and cultural venue which should come under any traveler’s wish list.

Written history of Honk Kong dates back to early 17th century and it became a hub for the first Opium war between China and Britain. The country also played an important part in Second World War where fierce battles between Japan and collaborative forces of Britain and Canada took place. Now the pieces of those treacherous times lie peacefully at the museums such as Hong Kong Heritage Museum in New Territories, University Museum and Art Gallery in Hong Kong main island, Museum of Art in Kowloon and in several other galleries which are worth a visit.

Cultural activities play an important part in Hong Kong because of its unique blend of western and eastern characteristics. A traveler can get a complete 360 degree look at whole scenic city skyline by boarding on a Duk Ling, a traditional Chinese junk which is used for nearly 150 years to crisscross the waterways of Hong Kong. Tai Chi classes available throughout Hong Kong will provide a soothing relaxation and peace for the mind and body. Honk Kong main land offers a unique architectural walk which enhances the knowledge of its participants about the rapid development of architecture in Hong Kong and for an audio visual experience, authentic Cantonese Opera is a fascinating event that should not be missed.

If it’s Hong Kong it’s all about shopping and some of the world’s leading brands are waiting at the shimmering skyscrapers and in marbles shopping complexes in Hong Kong Main Island, especially in Central, Western District and Admiralty. If some one wants to add vibe and color to their shopping spree, they can go and visit the local street markets such as Stanley Market, Yuen Po Street Bird Garden and exotic flower market at Kowloon.

The state of the art transport system in Honk Kong is one of the great advantages when it comes to traveling. The public transportation system which is used by nearly 11 million people is fully automated and “Octopus card”, a smart card system is in full operation in busses, railways and even in car parks. The Hong Kong International Airport is the main air passenger getaway and cargo handler in Asia and it is named as no. 1 airport by SKYTRAX and other numerous entities. Most of the world renowned airlines in the business are operating in this two terminal airport which satisfies the traveling needs of both local and foreign travelers.

Langham, Hong Kong is one of the best places to stay in Hong Kong because of their renowned friendly service and comforts which earn them a premier place among other Hong Kong Luxury Hotels.

Reviews for Eaton Hotel:

- “Good Hotel in Hong Kong” from AlexDino
“I just returned from a stay in Hong Kong at the Eaton Hotel from March 9-16, 2005. I based my choice of hotels, in part, on some of the prior reviews at this website. I booked my trip through Expedia and opted for the Eaton Club Deluxe room with breakfast included. After a 15 hour flight from San Francisco, my wife and I arrived at 7pm to the …”

- “Exceptional!!!!” from Matty
“This hotel should be rated higher than it is. In our opinion it deserves 4 star. The hotel has recently appointed one floor non smoking, it still smells a little, that and the room size would be the only critisism. We stayed here for the end December 2004 and Jan1 2005. It was just after Tsunami time. New Years Eve celebrations were either cancelled or …”

- “Great Hotel” from travel4love
“We stayed at the Eaton Hotel in Januray 2005. We were very impressed with the location of the Hotel – It being in the heart of the vibrant area – Tsim Sha Tsui. The Hotel was good value for money and well maintained. The Hotel reception were friendly and helpful and a morning paper was provided daily. The only drawbacks were that the room was quite …”

- “Excellent hotel” from nomadad
“In October I spent a week at the Eaton. By contacting the hotel directly I got a superb rate on a Deluxe Club level room, plus breakfast. The room was pristinely clean, as were all the public areas. The staff was superb, from the reception-desk clerks, to the concierge, to the housekeeping. Polite in the extreme, and helpful. The previous reviewer who …”

- “Good location, decent price” from like2travelWa
“We went to HK for 1&1/2 weeks in mid Nov. After reading all the reviews and on this site and reading “Top 10 Hong Kong”, DK Publishing, we knew exactly what to expect. Yes, the rooms are small compared to Western standards, but this is HK. The rooms are nicely decorated (separate shower/ bathtub AND our bed was just fine), the hotel …”

- “Ripoff alert” from kmanfrede
“the only saving grace for this hotel is that it has a great location, but there are many hotels with just as good or almost as good of a location. DO NOT stay there because of the internet in the room. it is completely outdated, and you can only get to about half the sites, and it shuts down all the time. hotmail doesnt even work. i used the business …”

- “Great place to experience Hong Kong” from A TripAdvisor Member
“We spent 9 days at the Eaton and loved it. Although the room is not large, it had everything we needed, including a hook-up for a laptop. We never felt cramped. The bathroom was beautifully done in marble tile, and was almost as large as the room. We had great views out our 18th floor room towards Hong Kong Island. The …”

- “Perfect for us!” from SnowFallingOnCedars
“We recently spent 7 nights at the Eaton (6th – 13th October). My father had a Deluxe Queen room on the 17th floor. Lovely! My son and I were upgraded to a Junior Suite (624). Fabulous! Both rooms had curved, floor-to-ceiling windows, offering interesting views, at any hour (… room 624 looked north on Nathan Road. Constant hustle and …”

- “Lumpy Mattresses and over priced food” from Tek
“I stayed at the Eaton for three nights the first week of July. The location is good for tourists. The lobby, stafff, and facilities are very nice. The prices of food in the restaurant are exhorbitant. The room itself was small. The carpeting was shabby. The mattresses were lumpy, out of shape, and need to be replaced…”
