    I really enjoyed the energy early on a Sunday evening.  Bustling, noisy, neon lights, shopping, food and more.  This is Hong Kong.  A little rough around the edges but safe.  I was a solo female traveller.  Like stepping into the old and new.  The area seemed to smell like pee everywhere!  Not sure why, but worth a trip.

    There's a few good photo spots such as the museum in the area, definitely worth a visit and walk around. Also many great tours that start from the area

    Lan Kwai Fong is a small square of streets in Central, Hong Kong. The area is always busy. Furthermore it is The nightlife hotspot on the island. note good for families at
    night because there are a lot of hookers walking around.

    The Fishing Village is very faraway from city. You need to take train to Tung Chung for exchange with Bus no 11 to Tai O. Went there during winter, the weather was nice, pretty windy, and there’s a restaurant that serves breakfast, also stores that sell seafood product. Not a big village but worthed to try when you visit HK. Ps : Most Stores Open around 11:30 so better come to Tai O during that time

    Our Big Bus route took us through the area, virtually unrecognisable from when we previously visited with the reclamations along Victoria Harborfront, the road systems and the network of skyscrapers that are wonderful feats of engineering. So different to 1982 and yet many areas still similar with the multitude of shops, restaurants, offices, market stalls and landmarks from prior eras. Not sure if there is still a vibrant 'red light' area, it was interesting in 1982 when we were on a guided night walking tour.

    We somehow seem to gravitate to Nathan Road whenever we visit Hong Kong. The place intrigues with the mix of high-end fashion, boutiques, electronics, jewelry shops and the restaurants that always seem busy late afternoon and evenings in particular. Attractions include Kowloon Park and the Kowloon Mosque, Peninsula Hotel, St. Andrew's Church, Chungking Mansions and more. We have never managed the walk the entire length despite our many visits. Bedazzling at night with the colourful neon signage that pays scant respect to climate change.

    Technically the Tin Hau MTR station is in Causeway Bay, but to get to where the action is, the Causeway Bay station is better. Many shops and restaurants can be found near the Causeway Bay MTR station, and this area is a bustling scene of tourists and locals alike.

    We went particularly for the Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival, but took the kaito (ferry) ride to Sharp Island or Kiu Tsui Chau and Yim Tin Tsai, and did some hiking on both islands.

    We found this Frenchy Cafe in Sai Kung Town, and tried their pasties, and they are totally out of this world. You can buy some to eat them as snacks en-route, and make sure you buy some more before leaving Sai Kung.

    We bought tickets to go to Sharp Island and Yim Tin Tsai on a kaito (ferry) to see the arts festival from a very friendly volunteer (?).

    The first stop was to Sharp Island, and the most important thing to see was the tombolo. On low tide, this land strip connects Sharp Island to Kiu tau, and you can walk over there in about 15 minutes. Just watch your steps because there are lots of stones and boulders to avoid trip and fall. The view of this strip is beautiful. You can climb up a hill on Kiu Tau to go to the other side. I had to return before I got to the top to catch the other kaito to Yim Tin Tsai. It is just too bad.

    The most important thing to visit I believe on Yim Tin Tsai is St. Joseph's Chapel, a Catholic Church beautifully renovated. The salt pans are quite interesting too, and make sure you stop and learn some history of salt making.

    There is a trail that you can hike while on Yim Tin Tsai, and there are some nice viewpoints, and the trail should take about 45 minutes to complete.

    I also like the art displays along the trails on both islands. In my opinion, they are quite whimsical and nice, with explanations to tell the stories of the pieces on display.

    Too bad the Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival had just completed their 3-year run, and they don't know if the funding will be extended for future years.

    The only neglect is that there are too many things to see, and there is simply not enough time, I think, to do all the islands (Kau Sai Chau and High Island, in addition to Sharp Island and Yim Tin Tsai) on the same day.

    After a day of sightseeing, you may also consider staying for the seafood dinner on its seafood street in Sai Kung Town.

    It was an easy and scenic bus ride from the city, we took bus 6. We visited on a weekday so the crowds were much less. It is quite different being away from the city and see the beach. The promenade is a nice walk with shops lining the street. Stanley market was ok but some shops were not open. Stanley Plaza had some shops and a supermarket. We also walked on the other side past Murray house and part of Ma Hang Park. Overall a nice day out.

    You do not need a reservation to visit if you do not want to join their guided tour. You can just show up and do a self-guided tour. The place is not big, so it is relatively easy. However, it does require you to hike up the hill to get there, with both slope and steps, for I would say about 30 minutes, so please be aware of your ability to do so.

    The place is quite interesting with columns and pillars, and you can marvel at the designs and architecture of the bygone era, and see how high the water level was when it was still used as a service reservoir.

    We stayed in Sheung Wan in the Ibis Hotel. It is a little walk to the central area but more traditional Hong Kong. There are fewer skyscrapers but lots of traditional fish and supplies stores. There was no problem with noise and not so crowded. The hotel is a little tired in places but we had a lovely view from the 32nd floor. A good breakfast selection was included and the meals available were good and reasonably priced.

    We visited this area and the mall after taking the MTR to make connections to the cable cars to Lantau Island to see the Big Buddha. Transportation around here is very efficient and the area is clean. We felt safe.

    This area is largely reclaimed land on the East side of Chatham Road and a short walk from our hotel. There are many office buildings, hotels and shopping complexes, a feature of the area being pedestrian plazas separating the structures. The promenade starts here and carries through to the old clock tower at the Cultural Centre. Probably not as vibrant as the Tsim Sha Tsui area but more comfortable to visit restaurants and other venues without the hordes.

    Presently, the Design District Hong Kong (#DDHK) organisation is putting on their third creative tourism event, after successful runs in Wan Chai and Sham Shui Po in recent years. This time around they make use of Tsuen Wan as the setting for a handful of art installations and projects adorning various squares, footbridges, parks, gardens and promenades around the district.

    The project is called Vivid Tsuen Wan (18 Aug to 14 Sept 2023) and presents the work of local and international artists. You can find a map and general information on each of the art stops on the DDHK 'Vivid Tsuen Wan' website. Definitely worth downloading the pdf map and making use of Google Maps while making way between one highlight stop to another.

    Allow a couple hours to wind your way through the district taking in each stop. There are malls throughout so if you find yourself getting too hot, just pop in and have a quick cool down before preceding.

    Overall, not a bad little activity for those who have done the main tourism rounds during past visits to HK and are looking for something new and different to do.
