Peak tram, dim sum and more

Whether you decide to travel to Hong Kong to participate in the 7th World Congress of Conductive Education or not I thought you might like to know about some interesting places to visit. The Peak tram takes you up to Victoria Peak. It is a breathtaking journey amongst the lush vegetation with an ever-expanding view of Hong Kong as the train gently clatters to the top.

If you like you can have breakfast, lunch or dinner at the 'Pearl on the Peak Restaurant' depending upon which lighting you prefer to see Hong Kong below while you are dining.

I think tasting some dim sums is a must. I prefer the ones filled with prawns. It is quite hard to get prawn-filled dim sums without pork so watch out if you don’t eat red meat like me. You can also have it for breakfast. If you wake up early and walk on the early morning streets of Hong Kong you can see them being cooked on street corners and people are buying them on the way to work. If you are a visitor I would recommend that you buy them in a restaurant.

The Jade Market

Please be aware that genuine jade is rather pricey and if you don't know much about jade it is hard to distinguish them from replicates.

Stanley Market and Temple Street Night Market are also worth a visit.
