10 Historic Sites in Hong Kong That You Shouldn't Miss
Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

Reviewed By Leonhkny - Hong Kong, China
This is a lovely, little known place for local history. Tai Fu Tai Mansion is the house of a wealthy member of the Man clan, one of the Five Great Clans of the New Territories. It is now quite well restored to its former glory and glamour although detailed illustration is lacking. The place is a unique bland of traditional southern Chinese and Rococo architecture. While the layout is in line with major mansions in Guangdong, the delicate glasses, paintings and ornaments are somehow reminiscent of the Alhambra. The security guard is passionate to share the anecdotes in local language. Bus 76K conveniently connects Tai Fu Tai Mansion with Sheung Shui and Yuen Long.

Appreciate the effort activists and curators made in revitalising the island. Once abandoned and neglected by even its (former) inhabitants, people are now trying to bring back glory to the island with the revival of salt pans (which gave Yim Tin Tsai its name) and even a full-scale arts festival showcasing art installations inspired by the island's heritage. I especially love the Sanctuary of Salt right by the salt pan. Learnt much about the island's unique heritage as a hub for Catholicism.

Reviewed By Leonhkny - Hong Kong, China
King Yin Lei is one of the few remaining Cantonese stately mansions in Hong Kong. Once the residence of a wealthy Chinese family, it is now a restored museum. The opulent interior is a synthesis of traditional southern Chinese and Western architectural styles. It is only open during weekends in June-August and October-December. Tickets have to be collected in advance. The bus to the Peak stops at the entrance.

Hong Kong’s most famous Taoist temple exemplifies the architecture of a traditional Chinese temple, and is a popular place of worship for those with health or business problems or for those seeking to have their fortunes told.
Reviewed By Roberts69 - Northampton, United Kingdom
Of all the temples in Hong Kong the "Sik Sik Yuen Waong Tai Sin Temple" has to be one of the most memorable. There is always plenty to experience here and it certainly has character, charm and ambiance. As well as the gorgeous temple the Good Wish Garden is also beautiful, and with its ponds and flora is a great place to relax and rest a while after the excitement of the worship in full swing in the temple itself. I highly recommend a visit to this stunning temple and garden.

Oldest post office in Hong Kong
Reviewed By A3303XQpaulh - Huddersfield, United Kingdom
This is the oldest post office in Hong Kong. The building rightly will be preserved. Inside it has the old equipment used and still being used. The fans on the ceiling ,tables and chairs it could be a scene from Casablanca. I'm glad this will never be pulled down or used for tacky shops.
