I've been to many countries on vacation. I'd always thought that many other countries were better than Hong Kong but after I vacationed in these countries, I realized that in terms of city life, nightlife, food and shopping, Hong Kong really is the best. In Europe, shops close at four on weekdays and don't open at all on the weekends except for big cities like London in which shops close at six on weekdays and four on weekends. Their main sorts of entertainment are pubs and clubs. Las Vegas has magnificent night views but it was primarily built for tourism. It's famous for gambling, unique hotel design and shows like boxing events. However, in terms of scenery, Scandinavia and Tibet are the most ravishing I would say. Tibet is famous for its bresthtaking scenery at high altitide. Xinjiang is also a place of outstanding scenic beauty. If you thinj you might have altitude sickness, such as dizziness, headache or trouble sleeping, I suggest that you should bring some medicine along. In fact, my friend who's been to the Mount Everest base camp showed me her photos taken there by which I was awestruck. It's certainly a glamorous vacation destination. A tour of the Mount Everest base camp would be a once in a lifetime experience. Tibet is also the best place for stargazing as it's much closer to the heavens than any other places on earth and the sky is often clear and cloudless. It has some of the highest lakes in the world which are rich with fish and other marine life and the surrounding countryside is inhabited by flocks of yellow ducks and wild horses as well as donkeys. The lakes there such as Lake Paiku which is four thousand five hundred and ninety two meters above sea level, reflect the beauty of the stars, giving a double view of the sky at night. You can even pitch a tent and camp there to get the best view of the stats and the Milky Way galaxy.
