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.

Escaping the city and getting away from the claustrophobic confines of crowded places during the coronavirus pandemic need both brainwork and legwork. That's how we picked the destination of Tai Mo Shan this Sunday. That means a long stretch of hike to Hong Kong's tallest mountain standing at 957m. Heading west from Tai Po Kau Nature Reserve (one of the starting points among many), our family had walked for six hours, across the ridgetop path after Lead Mine Pass all the way to the summit. That is the MacLehose Trail Stage Eight. Along the hike, you'll find heaps of boulders on the slope; it suggested violent eruption once Tai Mo Shan was a volcano in the Jurassic period. If you're lucky to pick a clear day, Tai Mo Shan offers distant views over virtually every part of Hong Kong. Absolutely iconic.

This is the first time we walk up this peak and its beautiful and easy to walk up. Majority of the walking are on proper roads. Great for family walk. I will definitely come back again. This place is filled with history, with old fortress to explore. The view of Victoria harbour is amazing. From day time to sunset yo evening. The walk is easy to get to. Mtr to Yau Tong then walk towards Chinese cemetery. Walk up the hill and you will see a sign to the peak. Once you finished the hike up, come back down on the same route if you want and walk towards lei yue mun - old fishing village. Seafood is quite expensive though

Looking to get outside the busy cities, my family and I hopped on a bus and found ourselves in Lau Fau Shan. The tiny main street of this fishing village is more like an alleyway lined with awesome fish shops. I saw some of the largest lobsters, shrimp and many varieies of fish I was unfamiliar with. We met Ruby at Hung Kee Seafood. After picking out a huge lobster and live shrimp at Ruby's family shop, they were prepared into a delicious lunch at Shing Kee Seafood restaurant. We were treated like special guests. A very different and much more friendly experience that we had elsewhere in Hong Kong. Once know for the oyster beds, it is unfortunate that they no longer exist thanks to pollution. However, still one of the highlights of our trip. Thanks Ruby!
