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.

Possibly the last Chinese junk to be painstakingly handcrafted in Hong Kong, aqualuna was created using age old designs and traditional materials by an 80 year old local craftsman. Also known as “Cheung Po Tsai” in Cantonese, aqualuna is named after the infamous Cheung Chau island pirate who used to terrorize the waters. Guests are able to absorb Hong Kong’s history while enjoying the intoxicating harbour and skyline views on board. This iconic Hong Kong experience is completed by cocktails and snacks served in the boat’s large cabin and open air decks.

King Yin Lei is one of the few remaining Cantonese stately mansions in Hong Kong. Once the residence of a wealthy Chinese family, it is now a restored museum. The opulent interior is a synthesis of traditional southern Chinese and Western architectural styles. It is only open during weekends in June-August and October-December. Tickets have to be collected in advance. The bus to the Peak stops at the entrance.

This walk is definitely a hidden gem in Wan Chai, not at all crowded like some other walks in Hong Kong. When I reached the garden at the top of Wan Chai Gap Rd I took the left path along Bowen road. The trail has a number of waterfalls and little temples, with a lot of places to rest, and is mainly shaded so it's doable on a hot day. The views of Wan Chai were fabulous too. I found it a really peaceful and refreshing walk and lovely to spend some time in nature in contrast to the hectic city below. This walk is easy to find from Wan Chai MTR station - take exit A3, walk straight forward when you come out of the station to cross the road, then walk down the street slightly to your right. You'll pass lots of market stalls, keep walking until you get to the next road - opposite you will be the old post office, and Wan Chai Gap road is just to the left of this - there is quite a tough, steep walk to the top but once you're there you'll find a map of the trail. The end of the trail comes out at an intersection where you can catch the bus (I caught number 15) back to the MTR station.
