TSIM SHA TSUI

Hong Kong is often compared to cities such as London and New York, but the resemblance ends once you leave the central business district. A hop across Victoria Harbour which divides Hong Kong Island and Kowloon peninsula showcases another side of Hong Kong. While the Tsim Sha Tsui district has its fair share of glamorous restaurants and shiny megamalls, it's also home to fascinating museums, sky-high bars, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, intimate neighborhoods and quiet parks worth a wander. Along the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade, travelers will find a cluster of several of Hong Kong's top museums and performance facilities. There's the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, home to a 2,000-plus seat concert hall and a massive theater where you can often catch shows and exhibitions, including Cantonese opera and international orchestra performances. #tsimshatsui
