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 is a lovely, little known place for local history. Tai Fu Tai Mansion is the house of a wealthy member of the Man clan, one of the Five Great Clans of the New Territories. It is now quite well restored to its former glory and glamour although detailed illustration is lacking. The place is a unique bland of traditional southern Chinese and Rococo architecture. While the layout is in line with major mansions in Guangdong, the delicate glasses, paintings and ornaments are somehow reminiscent of the Alhambra. The security guard is passionate to share the anecdotes in local language. Bus 76K conveniently connects Tai Fu Tai Mansion with Sheung Shui and Yuen Long.

Appreciate the effort activists and curators made in revitalising the island. Once abandoned and neglected by even its (former) inhabitants, people are now trying to bring back glory to the island with the revival of salt pans (which gave Yim Tin Tsai its name) and even a full-scale arts festival showcasing art installations inspired by the island's heritage. I especially love the Sanctuary of Salt right by the salt pan. Learnt much about the island's unique heritage as a hub for Catholicism.

An impressive temple with serene southern/ Cantonese architecture, a grand statue of martial god at the centre hall. We visited on a weekday. Love the tranquility there too.

For most of those living in Hong Kong , Tung Chung is a place which is very far from the hot and happening town area and is mostly used as a gateway to the Big Buddha or a transit point for some trails. This is a place which has many hidden delights. Many a beautiful trails start from here and the location of Tung Chung is perfect in the sense that neither does it have the chaos of its more glamorous neighbours nor is it without its own hustle bustle. And basically, you have almost everything which you need to lead a good life is here. Tung Chung is beautiful place with a beautiful waterfront and you can spend hours staring at the sunset and the moon and the mountains and the water. The place is characterised by lush greenery and vistas of the Tung Chung Bay which opens into the South China Sea. It is surrounded by mountains on all sides and is very clean and green. There is an awesome outlet Mall by the name of Citygate and a Novotel hotel right next to the Mall. Very near to the airport.

Don't do a special trip it's an hour and you've seen everthing. It's near the railway station and above the market. A temple to two gods . It's very pretty and the candles glow light your way. The smell of incense draws you in. It's very small so there is a limit to how many can go in at once. There are paintings, pottery and statues and symbols to the gods. A priest talked to us in English and very helpful.
