Hong Kong is a high-tech kind of town 　　Take pleasure in these 10 pastimes in this bustling city 　　By Betsy Lowther 　　Hong Kong is a high-tech kind of town, from the super-speedy train that whisks passengers in from the airport to the efficient escalator that winds its way up the mountain in the middle of the Central district. But under the twinkling skyline of neon-lit skyscrapers lies a city that mixes the new with old-China charms. We've picked 10 must-do things to experience the best of Hong Kong, but countless twisting alleys, amazing views, tiny shops and hidden sites lurk around every corner. You just have to keep your eyes open. 　　Want more? These out-of-the-way stops add extra fun to a Hong Kong trip. 　　Swindon's Books, books, and more books make this charming shop a great stop for any visitor scurrying to find enough English language material on the mainland. With two locations in Kowloon (at 13-15 Lock Road and in Ocean Centre) and an enormous book collection, it's a good idea to save a little time for an afternoon of browsing - not to mention some suitcase room for a few good reads. 　　Web: www.swindonbooks.com 　　Chungking Mansions 　　It's a little dirty and dank, but visitors and locals swear by the cuisine found in Chungking Mansions, a marketplace at 36-44 Nathan Road in Kowloon. It houses tons of authentic Indian eateries with delicious offerings, as long as you're not too picky about atmosphere. 　　Ocean Park 　　Children will love the roller coasters and other rides found at this amusement park on the back side of the island, but the real attraction - for kids of all ages - is the cable car that links the two sections of the complex. The sky-high ride over the hills promises amazing views of the island and the South China Sea. 　　Web: www.oceanpark.com.hk
