    Spectacular
    I took the Tsuen Wan Line from Tsim Sha Tsui station got off at Lai King to transfer to the Tung Chung Line to Tung Chung. After which I took the crystal cable car, which I recommend if you want shorter queues and more breath-taking views of the surrounding area.

    There are shops at the Nong Ping village leading up to the Buddha, so make sure you get a bottle of water of you did not bring some. The whole place itself is a bit quiet, and the view up at the Buddha is spectacular. If you are climbing up the stairs to the Buddha, you may take a few stops to rest or sit at the side. Make sure you keep your voice down if you have company to show respect to the worshippers. I'd love to visit again in the future.

    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.

    This is quite a nice mall with office block and is connected to the MTR
    This is quite a nice mall with office block and is connected to the MTR. The usual brands can be found here and there are many eateries and cafes. Good place to hang around for a couple of hours, especially if you are working nearby.

    One of most attractive skyscrapers
    One of the most easily recognisable skyscrapers amongst the Hong Kong Skyline is the Bank of China (BOC) tower. Designed by Chinese-American architect L.M. Pei, the building was opened in 1990 and at 72 floors, was the tallest building in Hong Kong until passing that torch to Central Plaza three years later. The BOC Tower is located between Cotton Tree Drive and Garden Road, just off Queensway in the Central District.

    The BOC Tower exterior is elegant and sleek and is based on important feng shui principles. The framework is that of a stack of triangles reaching upward to the sky. It is particularly attractive to view at night, when the triangular outlines are lit up brightly while the rest of the building remains dark, blending into the night sky.

    In addition to viewing the BOC Tower from up close and locations such as Hong Kong Park and Victoria Peak on the Hong Kong side, it is also easily recognisable during harbour ferry rides as well as prime locations on the TST side including the Avenue of Stars promenade, upper floor sky bars, restaurants and viewing platforms near the harbour.

    Impressive
    Impressive building and one of the key landmarks in HK which also contains a large shopping mall primarily full of all the top brand names you would expect.

    HSBC
    It is definately worth visiting this impressive building, you can literally walk through/underneath it and look up into the building. You can ride the elevator up to the 1st floor where there are ATMs. I was really looking forward to seeing the two bronze lions Stephen and Stitt, but unfortunately they were 'boxed up' due to damages.

    Nice to meet friends
    It was a pricy experience but worthy. We didn’t enjoy that much 360 view but the bar on the higher floor was better. Drinks vere also expensive. So after we met a friend and had a glass of white wine we went to much cheaper place.

    The giant glass koalas…
    …climbing up the side of these two towers certainly make them stand out, a great architectural variation given how nondescript so many of HK’s buildings are so perhaps I’ve been generous with the star. Inside there isn’t much - other than some art in the lobby and some restaurants - but the key thing is how it looks from outside. Also, despite having past hundreds of times, I had never been inside until today and it’s interesting how it connects to the wider elevated walkway/mall area. This means that whilst outside it might seem dead there are usually hundreds or even of thousands of people wandering through, in the air con and out of the sun!

    That this building still exists…
    …means a high rating from me, even if you cannot actually do much inside! HK has torn down nearly all of its old buildings so to have this still standing to admire is great!

    Amazing view from the top
    This is a very unique place as it will bring you from 17th Floor all the way to 56th Floor in a glass elevator. More for thrills if you love to stand close and witness urself "floating" up and down. The top floor is for a restaurant though and there is opening hours so do check it out before heading there.

    Chinese heritage of Repulse Bay
    The huge Tin Hau, or goddess of sea, statue at the southernmost part of Repulse Bay is an impressive landmark. The encompassing structure adds a spiritual face to the already popular beach. It is also surrounded by smaller but equally interesting sculptures.

    Multi-purpose cultural centre on Hong Kong Island
    Located in Central is the central hub on the Island, the place to go to attend a concert or the theatre, tickets can be purchased online or at one of the self-serve machines inside the hall. We were introduced to the City Hall on a recent walking tour, opened in 1962, a place to use the bathroom facilities for free. An interesting feature outside is to view the missing British crown from above the name on the building, removed after the handback in 1999.

    Tambayan
    Looking for tambayan and shops - The Center. Where Filipino folks are around too, if you need assistance just approach them and they'll help you. Market yeah like pasalubong just roam around. It's between those big buildings with those high end bags and clothes.

    Transportation hub and outdoor sculpture garden
    Exchange Square is a building complex in the Central District where the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is found. It is situated right next to the IFC shopping mall and directly connected to the large ground level bus terminus as well as the Central MTR Station and Hong Kong Station (direct access to/from the airport).

    Beyond being an important transportation hub, visitors can also enjoy a nice collection of outdoor sculptures situated around the elevated podium level next to Exchange Square. These include:

    Oval with Points (1968) by British sculptor, Henry Moore

    Sitting Couple (1989-90) by English artist, Lynn Chadwick

    A pair of Water Buffalo - Standing (1988) and Lying (1987) by English sculpture, Elisabeth Frink

    A pair of Taichi Sculptures - Single Whip Dip (1986) and Right Heel Kick (1991) by Taiwanese sculpture Ju Ming

    Above the Clouds (2017) by Beijing artist Ren Zhe

    These sculptures are interesting and worth a few minutes to enjoy if you are passing through the area, into/out of the IFC mall and interesting in art and sculpture viewing.
