Things to do in Hong Kong, China: The Best Points of Interest & Landmarks

May 22, 2021 Timmy Ribble

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.

Hong Kong Skyline

Reviewed By BradJill - Hong Kong, China

The Hong Kong Skyline is regularly mentioned amongst the finest skylines in the world. Beautifully situated on the north of Hong Kong Island Island facing Victoria Harbour and the Kowloon Peninsula, this is a real highlight for visitors to the city and a source of pride for residents of Hong Kong. You can enjoy the Skyline from Hong Kong Island, best viewed from atop Victoria Peak where you view downward, catching elevated views of both Hong Kong and Kowloon skylines as well as Victoria Harbour sandwiched in between. This makes for postcard pictures and memories of visits to HK. However, it is from the southern point of the Kowloon Peninsula along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade and Avenue of Stars where you see the immense scale and depth of the Hong Kong Skyline best. From this ground level vantage point, the string of skyscrapers with Victoria harbour in front of you and Victoria Peak behind the skyline, is excellent during the day and simply remarkable at night. For best up close views of the skyline, consider taking the iconic Star Ferry crossing from Kowloon to Central district on Hong Kong Island. As you approach, the Hong Kong Skyline grows increasing large and looming. Views are less stable since you are on the water but up close vantage points can be rewarding. For impressive elevated views from the Kowloon side, consider the Aqua Bar at One Peking Road. This is where you find views from the 30th floor, just gorgeous at night when the skyscrapers are lit up illuminating the entire seafront of the island. For even higher vantage point, try the Sky 100 Observation Deck at the IFC building. Cloud conditions often obscure views from this height and the entry fee is a bit steep but this is the highest view point, up in the clouds.

Avenue of the Stars

Reviewed By Mairwen1

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.

Victoria Dockside

Victoria Dockside, the 3 million-square-foot global art and design district along Hong Kong’s iconic Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, is poised to be a new global landmark, taking Hong Kong to a new cultural frontier.

Reviewed By Mairwen1

The Victoria Dockside was re-vamped in a US$2.6 billion make-over a couple years ago. It is now a beautiful, open promenade that runs alongside Victoria Harbour. It is best combined with a trip on the Star Ferry. As you step off the ferry, head to your right where the promenade starts and from here, it will take you right along the waterfront, past those million-dollar views of Hong Kong's iconic skyline. In terms of views, it doesn't get much better than this. The other main points of interest are the Avenue of Stars (a Hong Kong version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame) and K11 (a surprising mix of public art and high-end, luxury shopping). There are several places to eat and drink, ranging from Wildfire and Starbucks to upmarket spots inside K11 such as the Fortnum & Mason food hall and the Rosewood bar, Darkside. It is particularly pretty at sunset but it comes alive at night. From 8pm each night, a 10 minute choreographed laser-light show, ‘Symphony of Lights’, sets the harbour and the buildings of Hong Kong ablaze. This is the best place to watch it for a front row view.

Hong Kong West Kowloon Station

Hong Kong West Kowloon Station is the cross-boundary gateway for High Speed Rail in Hong Kong. The giant curtain wall of the station comprises over 4,000 irregular glass panels, and the spectacular structure is supported by 9 sets of massive columns of different heights. The curved ceiling of the station was built with over 8,000 tons of steel, which is almost the weight of the Eiffel Tower!

Reviewed By G5206CLpetert - Hawaii, United States

Direct high speed train from here to most major cities in China, the station is connected to MTR rail line, with covered bus and taxi stations just outside. Restaurants and fast food services are conveniently located on most levels. The China/Hongkong ferry terminal is about 10 minutes walk towards Tsim Sha Tsui. This is a good place to visit even if you are not taking a train, the building are very photogenic inside out.
