    If you land up doing 1 thing in HK it would have to be ascending to the top. The tram up is exciting, the restaurants and shops at the summit are lovely, the photographers charge a fortune for the pics but so worth the money. We missed the tram for the sunset photos (a big damn) but got there for fabulous night shots. It blew my mind. Yes, there were loads of people but as with all things in HK, everyone very courteous with good
    Manners.

    This wasn’t on my list of things to see in HK but was glad when we did get across to Lantua Island to see it. We took an Uber to the start, paid for the cable car and spent a few hours here. What i like was the little tourist village before you start the walk to the Buddha. Loads of
    Lovely little curio shops for suckers like me who buy all things touristy. Nice photo ops. From here it is a short walk to the base of the stairs up to the statue. The stairs themselves aren’t that many, anybody can get up, except we were in about 40degree heat. Once up the usual beautiful views. No stress at all, lots of freedom , no guards stressing either. From the base you can scoot over the monastery, another short walk. On the whole a very easy and enjoyable visit. Btw the cablecar is right next door to a huge outlet mall, some great shopping at discounted prices. We never had time to wander through it, but there of loads of shoppers and action.

    Loved it so much. Very romantic and classic. Reminds me of the days when i was a kid. I heard that many voices call to terminate it. Please do not. Keep it going for the good nostalgia

    Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong is an absolute showstopper! The view of the iconic skyline against the shimmering water is just breathtaking. Watching the Symphony of Lights illuminate the cityscape at night is like being in a sci-fi movie. Taking a leisurely stroll along the promenade and feeling the cool breeze off the water is pure bliss. However, it can get insanely crowded, especially during peak tourist times. Finding a quiet spot to soak in the view can be a bit of a challenge, and you might have to deal with elbow-to-elbow crowds. But honestly, that's a small price to pay for the spectacle that is Victoria Harbour.

    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.

    Always on the bucket list, never visited before this trip (it's only taken me 50 years to visit here) and what an absolute ball. HK$10 entry (drinks are exy but so they are at any racecourse). The place was packed, the atmosphere was brilliant. Great band playing and those of all ages were enjoying the vibe. (Personally I was dancing, also celebrating some accidental wins). :-)

    Beautiful and well maintained green park in downtown, with ponds full of fish and turtles and also some waterfalls. There is also some cafes and Museum of tea. Worth a visit, a really nice place where to spend at least an hour or two.

    I love museums of history, and this ranks among the top quartile. The collections and displays are fantastic, and many, are also very colourful. Very educational.

    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.

    The train may feel dated, but it is actually brand-new; only the original was replicated. It's advantageous to sit on the train's right side to have a decent view. It just took around 15 minutes for the ride? Despite being cloudy and hazy when I was there, the top of the mountain is stunning.
