    With a view
    Nice view, a little wait. Easy to navigate and find. Make sure you don’t come during the noon time. Bring sunblock and water to stay hydrated.

    Great half day spent
    Every time we visit hong Kong, we make it a habit to visit lantau Island and the big Buddha. The cable car experience is always nice, not only for kids but for grownups as well. Near the cable car station at the mtr is a mall with factory outlet shops, great for shopping and dining. Queues for cable car tickets are long, as you'll find many tourists visiting. I would suggest buying tickets online, which give you the privilege of skipping the line. We, for example, got out crystal canin tickets via klook. Best time to visit is in the morning or before lunch.

    Beautiful nunnery and easy to get to
    The nunnery is within a walking distance from Diamond Hill MTR, making it convenient to visit when you want to getaway from the buzz of the city. The wooden building is beautiful, perfectly preserved and it's peaceful inside with serene garden in the middle. It's a perfect place to spend some time relaxing and being with yourself while visiting such a busy city like Hong Kong.

    One of the world's finest natural harbors
    Hong Kong has one of the world's best landformed natural harbors. Victoria Harbour is a spectacular sight, especially at night. In daylight, you can walk along the water or take the Star Ferry. For a few cents, you can take the Star Ferry between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon -- it's one of the world's great bargains. When the British colonized Hong Kong in 1841, this magnificent harbor was one of the main attractions. The harbor remained the center of business and commerce in Hong Kong for many years.

    Rural Feels in Hong Kong
    It was a nice experience and I am happy it was just another station from Disneyland. Worth the visit, the cable car was good. The area was very rural, not typical HK. Go here when the queue is not long and sun is not too hot.

    Nelson Street Wet Market
    Mongkok is a bustling district where Hong Kong's youthfulness, energy and creativity collides with old school culture, buildings and markets. It is a thriving district that is packed with crowds of all ages going about their respective lives and leisure interests.

    There are numerous street markets scattered around Mongkok, one that I like is the Nelson Street Wet Market found on the west side of Nathan Road and Langham Place shopping mall and situated between Tong Mi Road (west) and Reclamation Street (east).

    Nelson Street is lined with vegetable, fruit, meat, seafood, sundries dealers. You'll find loads of delicious fresh food as well as peculiar finds including fresh tofu blocks, thousand year eggs, Chinese medicine packs, frogs and other things you will rarely if ever see in western wet (food) markets.

    The market is under large red umbrellas offering shade during midday when the sun is out. Still better to go from mid to late morning (9.30am) when stalls are stocked up and at their best for pictures. The trade-off is that the street can be packed with shoppers at this time of day as well.

    In the end, you can actually traditional wet markets all around Hong Kong. If you are in Mongkok and interested in seeing one, this is a convenient and fun one to visit. Otherwise, it is rather easy to find good options elsewhere around the city as well.

    Chill bar in hk
    The week is coming to an end, you can welcome Happy Friday
    This time, this restaurant is good for friends who want to eat lightly + drink two glasses

    Single bone chicken wing with a bite of cheese
    The chicken wings are grilled until fragrant, the sauce is sweet, and the cheese is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, full of flavor, it's so addictive

    Ravioli with White Truffle Mushroom Sauce
    I like that the sauce is creamy enough, but the sauce is good enough to eat mushrooms, Italian ravioli with thin skin

    Grilled Thick Sliced ​​Beef Tongue
    Sure enough, it is thick cut, so meaty and juicy, but not at all, and the free wine is first-class!

    Garlic Pepper Frozen Shrimp
    Very special cold cut pepper and garlic flavor Yanyan is so not overwhelming, the shrimp is fresh enough

    Egg Tart & Aloha
    The names of the cocktails here are so special. The egg tarts have a tiramisu-like milk cap with rum on top, and the aloha has a coconut flavor, which is more creamy. All of them are easy to eat ️

    The promenade with a good looking modern city view
    Still a good looking and clean promenade since I'd visited it before covid era. People were still happy to take a stroll here and take photos without too much worrying, both in the day and night.

    Must do
    Consistently in the top 10 things to do in most Hong Kong travel guides, this is truly a memorable experience. However unlike the main attractions this is far less busy. Maybe due to its location or maybe because some walking is involved, I’m really not sure. But I can assure you the trip here is worth it.  The Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery is a wonderful addition to your Hong Kong itinerary . the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery was founded in the 1950’s and is not only just one monastery, but consists of 5 temples, 4 pavilions and 1 pagoda.

    Tucked away this is not the easiest place to find, but when you do you be instantly blown away by the sight. Lifelike golden Buddha’s, glittering in the sun, stretching as far as the eye can see. As you ascend the 430 steps you will be gazed upon by these looming figures. Quite a surreal experience.  And a great selfie opportunity. Check out each Buddha, each one has a unique and different expression.  Some jovial and some menacing. Choose your favourite!

    The statues become grander and more ornate as you climb and at the top is a wonderful temple where you can pay your respects. A magnificent view of downtown HK is provided too. Perfect gift after a long climb.    This is a very peaceful spot, and you can just while away some time here, wouldn’t even believe you are in a mega city like HK

    A giant towering pagoda also greets you at the top. All one can do is just gawk at it in awe.  This pagoda is actually featured on the 100HKD bill and is an iconic landmark of this city!  You can have the cnahce to climb the 9 floors and see the vista below you.

    You can sit and rest for a while, or snap some pictures.  You can go down again, but this time using a different path. Fewer Buddha’s on this route but watch out for the monkeys. They will appear and try to steal your belongings so be careful!  Or possibly just sit and watch you as you go by, who knows!  Going down you will end up in a little community area, with small houses and local people going aboutt thier business.

    Very touristy place - but a bucket list for travelers
    The Buddha itself is not very old but that does not take anything of the beauty of this place.
    The monastery is beautiful and a little village has been established to entertain tourists even more.

    Stunning views and a beautiful landscape - the bus drive or gondola alone are worth the travel.

    a different view of hong kong
    An interesting choice. I think if you're from Hong Kong, it's definitely worth a trip, but if you're visiting on a holiday and you have limited time, not sure it's worth the trip.

    A lot of the value of coming here is to contextualize how far/different Hong Kong is now compared to its roots. There are a couple of nice things to buy here, including some traditional ingredients like seafood and shrimp paste. It is also connected to several hiking paths.

    My suggestion would be to come in the winter.

    BTW the most common way to get here is to go to the Tung Chung MTR station, then take the giant bus that everyone is lining up for.

    Best nightlife but not what it used to be
    Lan Kwai Fong (known as LKF) used to be a bustling area full of locals and tourists alike. It’s known for music playing in the streets, amazing restaurants, people drinking and dancing while roaming establishments and some of the best bands in the world but it has taken a major hit. Compared to last year, a shop owner told us sales are down more than. 60% and I believe it...the streets were bare and most places empty at 10pm on a Saturday night. It’s worth checking out in any trip to HK but it’s not what it used to be and I hope it comes back.
