Hong Kong Island is a financial, political and tourist center. In addition to numerous skyscrapers and luxury shopping malls, there are prestigious beaches (for example, Repulse Bay) and the most expensive hotels. It is worth staying here for those who like to be in the center of events. The main island is always full of crowds, noise and illumination.
Jiulong (or Kowloon) is the most populous part of Hong Kong. There are dozens of shopping malls and markets of various stripes on the peninsula. Prices in local shops are significantly lower than in the center. The merchants hardly speak English.
