7 Waterfalls in Hong Kong That You Shouldn't Miss
June 10, 2021 Tambra Mccollister
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.

If you are hiking up Tai Mo Shan, this is one of the best parts of the much more enjoyable jungle-covered early parts and well worth seeking out.
