    Hans Bar and Restaurant

    情人節到啦, 畀多個option大家啦!!

    行完K11 art mall, 想飲下酒但係又唔想嘈, 隔離就有間bar for chill. Cafe vibe但係有專業bartender駐場同有勁多酒嘅option.

    食物都係佐酒小食為主而且一啲都唔遜色. 佢嘅cheese shuto隻鹹香配餅乾食真係好正! 仲第一次食到避風塘薯條, 好惹味lo! 今次我冇飲gin tonic因為佢有gin雪糕!! 雪糕係gin底再倒入tonic water, 真係好似飲緊好滑嘅gin tonic咁. 其他地方真係未試過!

    🧀 前菜Platter
    🍟 避風塘薯條
    🥟 意式雲吞
    🍨 Gin Ice Cream
    🍸 Clover Club
    🍷 Woo Woo
    🍹 Porm Star Martini

    餐廳唔多人嘅時候仲可以安排畀客人自己調製cocktail, 希望下次我有咁嘅機會la!

    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.

    This is the major transport hub between Hong Kong and Macau. Although chaotic in some sense, the ferry pier offers reliable and convenient trips at a reasonable price. Location is prime and unbeatable.

    That is one of the best running trails of mine for years. Easily accessible by public transport and flexible to leave by bike (if you can account to use the local shared bikes, such as Loco).
    Seaview without smelly water. Sunset and mountain (Pat Sin Leng) at the backdrop.
    For bird watching, you can meet egrets anytime.
    Or, kingfisher, if you are lucky.

    The Tolo Harbour is a large and attractive coastal area with seaside communities as well as long stretches of seaside promenades, city parks and other leisure areas. Notable areas along the harbour include Plover Cove, Tai Po, CUHK University, Science Park and Ma On Shan.

    Biking and jogging are popular activities around Tolo Harbour and there are plenty of kilometres of seaside track to enjoy these recreational activities. You can also rent boats and kayaks to enjoy time on the water. Just north of the main pebble beach at Ma On Shan there is the HappySky Water Sports Centre. They hire out good quality, safe, topside kayaks.

    A fun half day activity in Tolo Harbour is to kayak out to some of the small, protected islands in Tolo Harbour like Centre Island and the Ma Shi Chau Special Zone, where you can enjoy seeing rare geological rock structures that date all the way back to the Permian period. There is a nature trail at Ma Shi Chau if you want to walk the grounds. Alternatively just paddle around slowly and enjoy the geological highlights along the way.

    Quite a few other ways to enjoy time outside around Tolo Harbour including the Plover Cove and Reservoir area east of Tai Po, the Egret Nature area just past Science Park and back up the Shing Mun River (canal) towards Sha Tin as well.

    Kennedy Town's newest waterfront promenade is a hidden gem. With the huge crowd in Central or Tsim Sha Tsui, it offers a panorama of Victoria Harbour while still at the heart of the city. Great place to enjoy a pleasant afternoon.

    This is one of few places in Hong Kong that has a relaxing, laid-back vibe. The lush, peaceful promenade along Aberdeen's waterfront offers some respite from this often overcrowded city. The view of the harbour and surrounding hills is unbeatable. The boardwalk is also well maintained with benches and public toilets.

    As its name hints, Seaview Promenade offers the unparalleled view of the sea. It is a pleasant, mostly flat path connecting Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay, two of the best beaches Hong Kong can offer. The road is surprisingly quiet even in weekends. A perfect option off the beaten path.

    This well-planned waterfront promenade is the perfect picnic and outdoor activities option. While the cycling path connecting Shatin and Taipo is already quite popular, the promenade itself is surprisingly not too crowded even during weekends. The view of Tolo Harbour and Ma On Shan is unparalleled. It is to note that parking is very limited while public transport is far from adequate to meet the needs.

    An old disused cargo dock became one of the most popular abd visited spots in Hong Kong due to its Instagram popularity. The sunsets here are usually magnificent and you can get really close to the water which adds to the beauty.

    It'll be insanely busy here with livestreamers and TikTokers etc but it's big enough to find some quiet areas.

    It's reasonable easy to reach (everywhere in HK is) especially if you use the fantastic bus network. Definitely a cool spot to check out if you get time. Kenedy Town in general is a nice spot

    Yung Shui Wan is the largest and busiest village on Lamma Island. It is a laid back and popular day trip here in Hong Kong. The village is located in the Northwest of Lamma and has plenty of eateries, convenience stores & food shops, banks & cash points, basic retail & consumable shops and a few low key hotels. It is also the location of a major pier connecting Lamma to Hong Kong Island by way of frequent and regular ferry service.

    Those planning to spend time on Lamma Island often arrive at Yung Shui Wan before making their way along the island Family Walk (trail) to Sok Kwun Wan where you can also catch ferries to/from Hong Kong Island. Some of the Yung Shui Wan cafes open fairly early, allowing you to have breakfast before setting off on your hike or visit to one of the Lamma beaches.

    There is a bit of sightseeing at Yung Shui Wan as well. The promenade area is lined with shops and eateries and is a bit fun to explore. There is an exhibition area within the new North Lamma Public Library just past the ferry pier and an important Tin Hau Temple on the south side of the village that you can see just before you begin making your way southward to some of the island's impressive beaches and viewpoints.

    Overall, Yung Shui Wan is a nice introduction to the laid back lifestyle of Lamma Island, a very different way of pretty much everything you'll encounter back in the city, just 25 minutes away by ferry.

    This is a ferry pier located around 8-10 minute walk rom University MTR Station at Science Park in Sha Tin. Services are provided by Kaito Ferry Services and you can view updated route and times on their website. Here you can take ferry trips to popular UNESCO Global Geopark locations and hiking trails.

    There is good signage as you approach the pier so that you know where to go to find ticket booths and the vessel that you need to board. ticket purchases can be made with cash or Octopus Cards. Do be aware that ferry departures are very limited so make sure you are fully aware of the published departure times and days beforehand.

    Popular ferry destinations include Kat O/Ap Chau (1.5 hour journey), Lai Chi Wo (1.5 hours), Lai Chi Chung (45 minutes) Tap Mun (also called Grass Island) - 1.5 hours, Tung Ping Chau (1.5 hours) and Wong Shek (2 hours). Some destinations are serviced daily but others further away, are only served on weekend and public holidays. The ferries fill up quite quickly with hikers on weekends as well so best to arrive 20-30 minutes before scheduled departure. Once full, vessels will depart so you may be able to leave early. They have extra vessels on hand when passenger numbers are high.

    The ferry rides pass through the Tolo Harbour and channel. If sky conditions are favourable, the views are very good, something of a hidden gem for scenery here in Hong Kong. They have toilets onboard and mostly open covered outdoor seating. If the weather is poor, they pull down plastic sheets to provide protection from the rain and waves. Otherwise, ferry rides are rather uneventful. Enjoy the views or catch up on a bit of reading until you arrive at your intended destination.
