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.

This major tourist hub is complete with many shops and landmark, such as the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower. Some call this area Hong Kong's equivalent to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
It’s a shopping district with various choices on food, among other stuffs. You can definitely do window shopping here, and it is worth mentioning that this is the place where some of the HK museums are located (e.g HK Space Museum)

In a bustling metropolis like Hong kong, it is often hard to catch a breath and admire the sceneries and appreciate the world. The Ma On Shan Promenade is urban planning at its finest, providing a space for citizens to exercise, socialise, and recharge. The Ma On Shan promenade, albeit with no grand malls and hotels unlike the TST promenade, provides a chance for residents and tourists alike to exercise, socialise, and recharge without distractions or crowds next to the breathtaking view of the Tolo Harbour. Ma On Shan is a mostly-residential town within the New Territories, so food and leisure will be geared towards the local residents. However, if you’re a tourist, feel free to take a stroll and explore the unseen side of HK with numerous amounts of cha chan teng and Chinese restaurants in the town center area (of course, the Ma On Shan city centre offers a plethora of international dining choices as well).

We discovered this unique place while running on the promenade starting at Dr. Sun Yat Sen park. Discovered that this set of two piers was once leased to the US navy during the Vietnam conflict. This was one of the R&R spots for American troops. Then it laid closed off for a long time. Returned to use for a short period then abandoned but a few years ago was opened to the public and some containers left there now covered with grafitti. The wharf is frequented by strollers, runners, parents with. children but mostly photographers from amatuer to professional. Many selfie sticks too. It attracts people from all over the world. I enjoyed modeling cheongsams and qipaos against the gritty nautical background. The slightly more western pier has even more cargo and a few tugboats for suggestive photographs. These piers are located a few minutes walk from Whittey St. Depot of the Ding Ding between. Sheung Wan and Kennedy Town. Hong Kong University MTR stop is a ten minute walk away. Rest rooms are at the gate of the pier. If closed there are other more modern toilets about 200 meters east on the waterfront promenade with drinking water fountains. Behind the tram depot is a small mall, Pacific Place with a food court. There is a large Mc Donalds and Mc Cafe two blocks uphill from the mall.

The Avenue of the Stars promenade was re-vamped a couple years ago and is now a beautiful, open pedestrian space that runs alongside the Victoria Harbour. Stepping off the Star Ferry, you can follow the promenade right along the waterfront, with fabulous million-dollar views across to Hong Kong island. The main attraction is the view but they have also created a Hollywood-style Walk of Fame feature with bronze handprints on the railings instead of stars on the ground. Over 100 Hong Kong celebrities and actors, including Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh (Crazy Rich Asians) and Chow Yun-fat, have made their mark here. Not many will be recognisable to overseas visitors but they are household names in Hong Kong. If you’re curious to know who’s who, each plaque has a QR code so you can scan it for more information. Of the four bronze sculptures, the most famous is Bruce Lee – recognisable to everyone, surely. Standing on an elevated water feature, he strikes his classic martial arts pose. It fits in nicely with Bruce’s famous quote, “Be water my friend. Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water” The other statues are Cantopop diva Anita Mui, the cartoon pig McDull and a female figure representing the Hong Kong Film Awards.

Tolo Harbour is the seafront from Sha Tin to Tai Po. There's a hiking and cycle path along the whole of the harbour, stretching fronm Ma On Shan to Tai Po. Very pleasant hike and even more pleasant cycle ride as it's flat and along the edge of the coastline.

Travel to Macau on the Turbo Ferry, very comfortable and quick. You should see fishermen in tiny boats along with islands along the route. The ferry terminals are modern, clean and easy to use. Price there and back around R1250 for the 2 of us. The bus is about half the price but takes twice as long and you can get caught up in heavy traffic making the time even longer. Make sure you purchase a return ticket it's cheaper and also that you get the correct info for the return journey times.
