The 10 Best Things to do Good for Kids in Hong Kong, China

May 22, 2021 Jasper Kershner

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.

The HK Tourism site located near the Star Ferry Terminal on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong was incredibly helpful to us during our recent visit to Hong Kong. They were able to provide maps, tourist destination brochures and guidance that was incredibly helpful given the shut down of many attractions in Hong Kong because of the coronavirus situation.

My girlfriend found these guys through Tripadvisor and we couldn't help ourselves to give it a try. Having tried some VR setups before I had some expectation of the visuals and usage of the goggles but honestly I was blown away by all their custom equipment. Rumble suits, VR harness, custome guns/rifles, tracking sensors for your legs and arms. It all added to the extensive VR experience. Aside from the software which is designed in house they have clearly thought about what will give you a more immersive experience by adding the rumble to your body and extra wind effects. All I can say for something that is still in development this is by far the most immersive experience I have every had. Period. Another bonus point is that you don't get motion sickness (depends per person of course) because you are walking and moving your body. So it actually feels like you are there. I believe your brain handles the sensory input better when move senses are stimulated. Just using your eyes is not enough. Cut a long story short. You would miss out on something special if you didn't try this.

Reviewed By kpiddy - Brisbane, Australia

What a find, the Hong Kong Museum of History was fabulous and free. Three hours passed so quickly, the exhibits and artifacts cover the history of Hong Kong in chronological order were superb. The exhibition starts in the prehistoric year and covers everything in between to modern times, there are recreated harbourside scenes, full sized traditional town streets and temples, quality pieces and so colourful and informative. Definitely worthy of a return visit in the future. Open daily, closed on Tuesday. Nearest MTR stations are Hung Hom, Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui.

Chi Lin Nunnery

Reviewed By BradJill - Hong Kong, China

The Chi Lin Nunnery is one of our special places in Hong Kong. Originally built in 1934, the monastery building and grounds you see today were opened to the public in 2000. This is a peaceful and tranquil place that is beautifully maintained. Chi Lin along with the adjacent Nan Lian Gardens are free to visit and open from 7am to 7pm daily. What you find here is a Buddhist monastic complex constructed of cedar wood and built in the style of the Tang Dynasty. There are a handful of halls, each fitted with beautiful shrines with gilded and colourful statue figures representing manifestations of Buddha. The main hall includes five large gilded figures (3 Buddha figures and 2 attending disciples) is particularly impressive. Note that they ask you to not take photos in this area of the monastery. There is information posted next to each hall with Chinese and English text, allowing you to read up and learn about the figures on display in each. You can take pictures in the open courtyard which are decorated with numerous manicured shrubs and flowering plants. This is a Lotus Pond Garden with four delightful pools, it is an attractive setting and easy place to relax and enjoy yourself. Overall, this is a place you can easily spend half an hour. Add an addition 30-45 minutes to browse the grounds and exhibition galleries of the Nan Lian Garden which is connected by bridge to the other side of the street running along side the Nunnery. Collectively, these two attractions represent one of the most beautiful locations to visit in Hong Kong, a place loved by residents and visitors alike.

Lantau island

Reviewed By wing88kiu

It's so close to the city and even where the HK airport is, you can find the most scenic hiking trails, fishing village, beautiful beaches and good variety of restaurants all in one. The island is big and better to plan out your day on what you want to do. One cannot see everything in one day and can spend different days on different things to do. it's more than just the shopping mall and Disneyland.

Po Lin (Precious Lotus) Monastery

Located on Lantau Island, this monastery features the Big Buddha (Tiantau), which is the largest, seated, outdoor bronze Buddha in the world.

Reviewed By KatDeg

I have been up to see the big Buddha twice now. We travelled on the Ngong Ping 360 cable car up to the Po Lin Monastery. It is the second largest bronze Buddha statue in the world and surprisingly not all that old, only being built in the early 1990's after 12 years of construction. There are a little under 300 steps to walk up for a closer look at the statue, which if you are not fit or struggle to walk will find difficult. But once you get up the top, there are great views and a small gallery/display inside. You don't see the six "divas" from ground level either, so worth the few minute walk up the stairs. No photos are to be taken inside, as it is like a shrine to people who have died. So be respectful. The same goes for photos inside of the temples. Signs everywhere saying no photos and no visitors. Which means, you shouldn't go inside if you are not Buddhist. There are a few temples to see up there, including the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas which has literally ten thousand Buddhas of various sizes in a hall of intricate detail and artwork. There are souvenir shops and places to eat up there as well. Do not feed the cattle or dogs that roam around, there are signs to say you will cop a fine. All up with a ride on the cable car, you will need a good 2-3 hours up there. Ensure you go at 10am, so you don't end up with long lines at the end of the day to get back down the mountain.
