Visit the artistic &#8216;West Kowloon Cultural District&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>This brand new cultural quarter is the latest hot\u00a0spot for locals. Not only are\u00a0there large green spaces for picnics, but you can immerse yourself in the cultural comings and goings of the city with incredible events going on every month. &#8220;Freespace Happening&#8221; is a great example, with\u00a0live music performances, DIY workshops, dance showcases, craft\u00a0markets, etc. There&#8217;s a ton to do for people with all sorts\u00a0of interests, so\u00a0you&#8217;ll surely find something you love!<br \/>\nOn top of all that, make sure to enjoy the beautiful harbour view taking a stroll\u00a0along the West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade!<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-25340\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/iStock_97210517_MEDIUM.jpg\" alt=\"iStock_97210517_MEDIUM\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>2. Shop at the trendy &#8216;Causeway Bay&#8217;<\/h2>\n<p>I know, I know, malls and shopping aren&#8217;t exactly top of most backpackers&#8217; to-do list, but when in Rome&#8230; (or Hong Kong). Forget about Tsim Sha Tsui &#8211; this is the best area for shopping. There\u2019s a great\u00a0mix of malls and local shops, and if you\u2019re looking for independent stores, Island Beverley Shopping Centre, East Point Centre or World Trade Centre are where it&#8217;s at. For\u00a0brand names, check out SOGO and Times Square.\u00a0Also, definitely check out\u00a0the newest\u00a0mall: Hysan Place! You&#8217;ll find\u00a0popular international fashion brands, the Eslite Bookstore, and scrumptious food.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25170\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/259494301_dbbd0f30d7_b.jpg\" alt=\"259494301_dbbd0f30d7_b\" width=\"1021\" height=\"638\" \/><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25171\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Untitled.jpg\" alt=\"Untitled\" width=\"1022\" height=\"639\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>3.
