Hong Kong is one of the most iconic metropolitan landscapes in the world. The city itself is a major global hub, and is extremely significant as an entertainment hub. This is because some of the world’s most legendary martial arts oriented movie stars including Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Chow Yun-Fat and Michelle Yeoh all emerged from Hong Kong. Due to these many reasons, the city is a thriving tourism destination and there’s so much accommodation available such as the Cosmo Hotel Wan Chai Hong Kong which is one many hotels in Wan Chai Hong Kong.
The classic imagery associated with Hong Kong, as well as most Chinese cities, involve bustling streets that are a kaleidoscope of colour. The best place to experience this visually stunning and instantly recognisable side of Hong Kong would be Times Square, which truly comes alive at night.
Located in Causeway Bay, Times Square is a major emporium that Hong Kong is renowned for, considering it is the first vertical mall in the country. Due to the sheer number of shopping outlets located within the mall, the interior of the skyscraper lights up like a Christmas tree with a variety of colours portraying the different outlets that are available for exploration. Although the mall is enticing during the day time, it looks infinitely more attractive all lit-up during nightfall, which is why many of the shops are open many hours past midnight.
The famous mall was even used as a filming locale for many films, including blockbuster Hollywood films such as Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life, featuring Angelina Jolie. Such an iconic place shouldn’t be missed so if you ever find yourself in Hong Kong, be sure to check out the legendary Time Square. Remember, if you wish to experience it at its best, you should probably go after nightfall.
