2024 Hong Kong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in August)
Known for being a world-class center of business, culture, and trade, Hong Kong is a jewel in the orient with international flairs. Its iconic skyline, dynamic food scene and multicultural influences attract over 65 million tourists each year. For many, Hong Kong is also a starting point for visiting China and the rest of Asia.Officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong is located on the south coast of China, neighboring Guangzhou Province. It is made up of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, and the New Territories (including more than 250 outlying islands). Ranked as the 8th most densely populated city in the world, Hong Kong’s population is made up of mainly Chinese residents. But it is also an international hub of commerce where English and Cantonese are the official languages.Hong Kong wouldn’t be what it is today without its complex past. Though it has existed for thousands of years, in as little as 100 years, Hong Kong went through dramatic transformations from a fishing community in China to a British colony to an international trade center, and eventually back to being part of China again.Like its dense population, Hong Kong has also packed in a tremendous amount of attractions. For example, you can visit one of the city's oldest temples, Man Mo Temple; ride on the Peak Tram for a bird’s eye view of Victoria Harbor; or immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere of Temple Street Night Market. Beyond the urban hustle and bustle, there’s a serene side to Hong Kong. Chill out on the beach in the Sai Kung East Country Park, enjoy a challenging hike on Lantau island’s many trekking trails, or do a little wildlife spotting in Plover Cove Country Park.The most common way to reach Hong Kong is by air. The Hong Kong International Airport has connecting flights to all major domestic and international cities. Visitors can easily find transfer options into different parts of HK, such as taxis, Airport Express trains, and buses. Some hotels offer transfer options too, so it is better to check in advance. Getting around town is also simple and convenient. Visitors can easily reach top attractions by using the extensive and affordable MRT, bus and tram systems.

Exploring Tiffany Blue Box Cafe so therapeutic🌟♥️🌹
#cafestory
Exploring Tiffany Blue Box Cafe in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, the caf é at Tiffany's home happened to be deserted at noon, so I checked in for the most classic Tiffany blue dessert. Man Shaved ice: When Tiffany Shaved ice comes up, the waiter will help pour the marshmallow. There is cheese under the marshmallow. It's delicious. Cocktail: Tiffany, True Love. Tiffany Blue tends to be sweeter, and it looks great in photos. True Love has a moderate flavor that combines bone wood and golden wine. It may be a bit heavy for girls to drink and is not highly recommended.? Location: Tiffany is located on the upper level of Beijing Road, and as soon as you go upstairs, you can see an image of a container box. The straight-line distance to the port city is 2 minutes, which is very convenient.

🇭🇰 Fastest way to travel in Hong Kong is by ferry
#seascapes #100WaysOfTravel
Don’t be afraid to travel on the South China Sea when you are in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is a coastal city and the fastest way through the traffic is by the sea. There are many types of sea transportation in Hong Kong and Star Ferry is the most economical transport between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. This is also one of the favourite tourist travelling way to experience the laid back side of Hong Kong. It is a short ferry ride and you can also try out different ferry route to other islands like Cheung Chau too.

Maclehose Trail Camping sea side 🏕️
#campingfun
The camping ceiling in my mind
Today, in order to find a satisfactory campsite, I found a headache!
When I wanted to find a campsite like Maclehose Trail , I realised that it was impossible.
Although there are many beautiful parks in Guangzhou, this feeling of pure nature cannot be given by parks.
There is no such perfect place in remote areas, either just suitable for playing in streams during the day, but not suitable for camping at night. Or there is only grass, and you can't play with water. It's too difficult to find a place in Guangzhou where you can play with water and camp overnight.
And Maclehose Trail is a perfect campsite, facing the sea, with the tide rising and falling. There are green spaces, seaside, sunsets, fresh water, and there are few places!

Majestic day at Disneyland Hong Kong 🗺️
#themeparks
I spent an unforgettable day at Disneyland Hong Kong, and it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale! 🏰✨ The park is located on Lantau Island, making it super easy to get to by train. The entrance fee was around HK$639 for an adult ticket, which felt totally worth it once I walked through the gates and saw the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle in the distance. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement, and the lush greenery surrounding the park gave it a unique vibe.
I started my day in Adventureland, where I went on the Jungle River Cruise, which was such a fun way to kick off the adventure. 🌴 Next up, Mystic Manor was a must-visit! The creativity and detail in this ride blew me away. Throughout the day, I couldn’t help but snack on the adorable Mickey-shaped waffles and ice cream! 🧇🍦 Of course, I made time for the classic rides like Space Mountain in Tomorrowland, which gave me that adrenaline rush I was craving.
The parade in the afternoon was pure magic, with all the beloved Disney characters dancing down Main Street, U.S.A. 🥳 And just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better, the “Disney Paint the Night” parade and the fireworks over the castle were the perfect end to a magical day. 🎆 The synchronization of the lights, music, and fireworks was mesmerizing.
Nearby, you can visit Ngong Ping 360 and the Big Buddha, making it easy to combine a bit of cultural exploration with your Disney fun. If you’re in Hong Kong, spending a day at Disneyland is a must, whether you're a Disney fan or just looking for some joy and adventure! 🎠 #trip #DisneylandHongKong #MagicKingdom #DisneyJoy #HongKongAdventures #FamilyFun

Dear friends, please be rational when getting recommendations.
🏨Name: The Upper House
☆ I stayed in a relatively large room.
In a place like Hong Kong where every inch of land is precious, such a large space feels particularly luxurious. The overall decor of the room is simple and elegant with a natural wood style, high-end yet cozy, giving a sense of tranquility and comfort. 🛋️ The living room has a large floor-to-ceiling window with a superb view, allowing you to take in the bustling cityscape. 🌃
☆ The bathroom is also very spacious.
It is equipped with large glass panels, so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery while taking a bath 🛀🏻 or showering. It's simply too pleasant. Every corner of the room is exquisitely arranged, and you can sit anywhere to read a book, daydream, and enjoy your own quiet time. 📚
☆ The service here is impeccable.
When checking in, the staff uses an iPad to simplify the process, which is very efficient, and they are friendly and enthusiastic. There is also a dedicated person to take you to the room for check-in and to give a detailed introduction to the room's facilities, making you feel very cared for.
☆ The breakfast is also worth mentioning.
Although it's not a buffet, it is made to order, very delicate and delicious. Sitting by the window, leisurely drinking coffee ☕ and eating breakfast while looking at the scenery outside, really gives a wonderful feeling of having the world at your feet.
【Hong Kong】Adorably Cute Donuts.
Main Street Bakery at Hong Kong Disneyland is a must-visit. I bought a Duffy-themed donut for HKD 55 (approximately JPY 1,100). It's a large donut coated in chocolate. This bakery is highly recommended for lunch as well. The displayed items are so cute, you should definitely try them.

Guangzhou to Hong Kong on foot | See the mountains and seas on the Mac Lehose Trail🇭🇰

Don't ask whether l like the mountains or the sea.
Traveling mountains and looking at the sea, free and comfortable-
[Keywords]: Beautiful scenery, hiking on the coastline, jungle wild road stone steps and beach, most of the flat roads are relaxed, and camping is available.

Bus fares are not integers, such as 10.3, 19 Hong Kong dollars, etc.)
Departure from Guangzhou, arrive in Hong Kong one day in advance, stay one night near West Kowloon, take the next morning, take the subway to [Rainbow Estate] Exit C, not far from the bus platform, take the green bus A1 to [Saigong Pier] terminal, this is a small town with many shops, where you can have breakfast + buy road meals; navigation and walk To [McDonald's, Qinmin Street]
the bus NR29 to [Xiwan Pavilion] at the door, which is the starting point of this hike; you will pass by [Linji snacks] on the way, recommended!! I finished brunch there, and after hiking, went to eat again before returning.
Starting from the hike from [Xiwan Pavilion], the weather is really great. If you don't go far, you can see the sea view.
The mountains are very green and the sea is very blue. All the way along the stone steps road. On the way, you will pass through the village, see the cattle, and there is also a bathroom. All the way to the first beach [Xiwan]. The scenery is beautiful, with blue sky, white clouds, waves and sand. Beach, but the temperature at noon is also really hot.
After taking good photos, find a cool place for lunch and rest;
Continue to cross the beach and climb the coastal steps.
This step is completely shaded by trees, but it can also overlook the more complete blue bay and the wave line raised by the yacht. On the left side is the mountain, and on the right is the sea, especially when it is about to reach the second beach [Xiantian Bay], it is completely amazing, and the steps seem to extend all the way. In the sea, a giant film

Peaceful and quiet city by the bay
#citydaytours
If you feel you need to find somewhere quiet in HongKong, I have one recommendation for you to visit which is Stanley Market. It would be perfect for your city day tour as you will need only an hour drive and do return trip on the same day.
You can only take bus to get here if you use public transport. You may take the bus from the central area or simply use google maps as it will leads you to the closest bus stop.
You can either do a nice walk around or you can enjoy yourself with a view of the ocean. Fuel up your stomach with its best seafood menu.

Hong Kong's Iconic Night View Spot: The Avenue of Stars
📍Ave of Stars, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
The Avenue of Stars is a recommended spot to watch the Symphony of Lights, a night view parade in Hong Kong. Here, you can also see handprints and plaques of Hong Kong actors.
It's fun to look for the handprints of your favorite Hong Kong actors while enjoying the view of Hong Kong Island and the harbor. Just sitting at the Avenue of Stars at night is incredibly romantic.
Personally, I don't highly recommend the Symphony of Lights, but if you want to see it, I suggest watching it from the Avenue of Stars. The reason is that you can hear the background music, albeit faintly, which makes the laser show more immersive.
As someone who thought the Symphony of Lights would be more enjoyable with music, I found it much more entertaining to watch from a spot where you can hear even a little bit of the background music.
A Day in Hong Kong: Kowloon Walled City Park, Thai Restaurant, and She Wong Lam, A Fulfilling and Enjoyable Experience
A day trip in Hong Kong can be incredibly diverse and full of surprises from morning till night. In the morning, I stepped into Kowloon Walled City Park, which preserves the historical appearance of early Hong Kong. Walking through the quaint streets felt like traveling back to that bustling era. Next, I headed to a famous Thai restaurant in Kowloon City, where I enjoyed authentic Thai cuisine. The tangy and spicy dishes were a feast for my taste buds, providing an unprecedented level of satisfaction. After lunch, I visited She Wong Lam to try snake soup, a unique Hong Kong delicacy that is not only delicious but also rich in nutritional value. The day's itinerary was fulfilling and enjoyable.
A Magical Day at Hong Kong Disneyland 🐭🏰🇭🇰
Visiting Disneyland was one of the top things on my list when I visited Hong Kong. Here are some of my tips to ensure you have a magical day!
MUST VISIT ATTRACTIONS:
🌟 World of Frozen - Step into Elsa & Anna’s kingdom of Arendelle where you can experience a storybook water ride Frozen Ever After and the high speed rollercoaster Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs.
🌟 Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars - I’m not being dramatic when I say that this is THE BEST attraction at any Disney park. It’s so much fun. I went on it 3 times!
🌟 “it’s a small world” - A visit to Disneyland is not complete without riding this classic.
🌟 RC Racer - a thrilling, gravity-defying experience. Jump in the car and race back and forth on the U shaped track!
🌟 Jungle River Cruise - Set sail on an adventure down the river with your own guided tour through the jungle.
🌟 Mickey and Friends Street Celebration - Check the app for parade times. A Mickey-led train themed parade with all of your favourite characters!
🌟 “Momentous” Nighttime Spectacular - Stay in the park after sunset to see all of the beautiful lights and the fireworks show on the castle!
BEFORE YOU VISIT:
✅ Download the Official Hong Kong Disneyland App ~ here you can buy tickets and premier access passes, check show times and wait times for attractions!
✅ Bring your ID or passport to enter the park.
✅ Don’t forget to bring a power bank!
✅ Wear suitable shoes to avoid discomfort.
‼️ I recommend buying an early entry pass into the park to experience World of Frozen without the crowds.

Visited a Vietnamese restaurant, the fragrant pork chop is especially delicious.
In such hot weather, it's perfect to have vermicelli salad. The cold vermicelli salad with fish sauce and sweet and sour dressing is easy to eat. Today, I came to this hidden gem specializing in Vietnamese cuisine. The interior decoration has a strong Vietnamese style, with the Vietnamese phrase 'Xin Chao' on the wall, which means hello.
Hanoi Grilled Pork Vermicelli Salad:
One of the signature dishes, made with various types of pork, including pork balls, pork neck, and pork. The pork is soaked in a special sweet and sour sauce. Each bite of vermicelli dipped in the sweet and sour sauce, accompanied by mint leaves, is particularly appetizing and refreshing.
Lemongrass Grilled Pork Chop Vermicelli Salad:
The fragrant pork chop is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious and soft texture. The vermicelli is cooked just right, neither too soft nor too hard, and when paired with fish sauce, it's sweet and sour, making it more appetizing with each bite.
Mixed Skewers Platter:
A large version of skewers, each skewer is big, with two large skewers each of chicken, beef, and pork. The meat is tender and well-seasoned.
Mango Slush:
Beautifully presented, with a surprising taste. The mango flavor is rich and very cold, extremely refreshing.
Fresh Passion Fruit Special Drink:
Tastes sweet and refreshing, with a perfect balance of sweet and sour, very fresh.

Where is Hong Kong's Hidden Maldives?
While many people in Hong Kong are familiar with famous attractions like Victoria Harbour and Stanley, they often overlook other lesser-known scenic spots. Located in the East Dam, Long Ke Wan of the High Island Reservoir is one of Hong Kong's largest freshwater reservoirs and a stunning natural beauty. Visitors can stroll along the lakeside trail, enjoying the changing scenery of the lake and mountains. It's definitely worth a visit.
The highlight here is the fine and soft sand, the clear blue water, and the peaceful coexistence of people and cattle. Compared to the busy and fast-paced city center, this place will make you feel like time has slowed down.
Before you set off, remember to bring sunscreen and food, as there are no shops on the island. Once you step onto the island, you'll immediately feel a sense of isolation from the world.
If you have a larger group or more supplies, you can take a speedboat directly from Sai Kung Pier to Long Ke Wan. The one-way fare is around HKD 150, and you can negotiate a round-trip price with the boat operator. Alternatively, hiking enthusiasts can take bus 96R from Sai Kung to Pak Tam Chung, walk for about two hours to the East Dam, and then walk another kilometer to reach Long Ke Wan.
Take advantage of the holidays and invite a few friends to enjoy some leisurely time together.
Chen Xin Kee: Signature Crispy Trio, Highly Acclaimed Delicacies.
Chen Xin Kee is located in Ap Lei Chau Municipal Services Building.
Signature Crispy Trio: 1. Fish Skin 2. Fish Dumplings 3. Wontons, all characterized by their thin skins and delicious fillings, freshly fried to a crispy perfection. The fish dumplings have a chewy texture with a distinct fish flavor.
One-Bite French Toast: Compared to regular French toast, it has a thinner egg coating, making it soft and crispy. The bread is fragrant and soft, with a rich egg aroma and very flavorful peanut butter.
Additionally, you can bring seafood to the restaurant for processing.
It is a very authentic Hong Kong-style dai pai dong!

Wellington Beef Fillet Special Dinner for Two
Yilun suddenly got interested in researching the origins and recipes of Beef Wellington with her husband, which made me want to try different restaurants' Beef Wellington dishes 😂 And this restaurant, ✨Around Wellington✨, is famous for its Beef Wellington, which attracted us to give it a try.
I think the dinner for two offers good value for money, and the food tastes quite good. The signature Beef Wellington did not disappoint us; it was indeed of high quality 😋 Here's a detailed introduction:
✨5 course menu for two✨ $468
🥦Soup of the Day (Broccoli Cream):
Creamier and more fragrant than expected, with a smooth texture. The broccoli was well blended, and the cream and broccoli complemented each other perfectly.

The chicken was tender, and the addition of pineapple slices provided a sweet and sour taste, making it quite appetizing.
🦞Lobster Bisque +$48:
The soup had a thick texture with a rich lobster flavor. The seasoning was just right, not too salty, very delicious.

🥩Beef Wellington +$160:
Very satisfied with the extremely crispy puff pastry, even after taking photos for a while, it remained crispy 🥰. The beef fillet was thick and substantial, with a firm yet tender texture. The cooking was well-controlled 👍🏻. The mashed potatoes were smooth, seemingly with some black truffle, making them very tasty.
🦀Crab Roe and Crab Meat Rice with Grilled Snow Crab Shell:
The top layer was covered with a lot of crab meat 🤍 and crab roe 🧡, along with fragrant crab paste 🩶 and some rice seasoning, giving it a full seafood aroma and a very fresh taste. After mixing with the rice, it had a rich texture.
🍫Chocolate Lava Cake:
The chocolate was rich and flavorful. Unfortunately, the inside was overcooked, turning it into a cake without a molten center 🥹.
🍹HAND SHAKEN ICED TEA (PEACH):
The peach flavor 🍑 was quite fragrant and matched well with the iced tea base, with a balanced sweet taste.
🍹HAND SHAKEN ICED TEA (STRAWBERRY):
Had a refreshing 🍓 strawberry aroma. The strawberry flavor was not too strong, with the tea base being more prominent, quite refreshing.

Ruth's Chris Steak House in Tsim Sha Tsui East: A High CP Value Classic Restaurant!
Tsim Sha Tsui East is known as a 'steakhouse battleground,' and Ruth's Chris Steak House stands out with its history, beautiful views, and great value for money.
As soon as we sat down, we could smell the buttery aroma of the steak from the next table and see the beautiful view of the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, which instantly lifted our spirits! We ordered a classic ribeye, mashed potatoes, and a salad. The presentation was impressive: the salad was served on a cold plate, and the steak came on a hot plate with steak drippings. Even the utensils were chosen to enhance the flavor. The signature ribeye was indeed rich in beef flavor, with a distinct char on the outside and juicy, delicious meat inside. The mashed potatoes were very smooth and fragrant, and the two of us easily finished the entire plate.
We look forward to coming back to try other cuts of steak!

A Hidden Gem for Solo Diners
Address - G/F, 193 Tsat Tsz Mui Road, North Point
Ambiance/Facilities - Only nine seats in the entire restaurant
Specialty - Meticulously prepared dishes
Average Price - $110
Rating - 7.5/10
If you enjoy dining alone, this place is highly recommended. Despite being a small restaurant with only nine counter seats, its striking cobalt blue entrance makes it stand out. It's a sincere Japanese restaurant offering reasonably priced lunch and dinner, ranging from tens to over a hundred dollars. The menu features ramen and fried dishes, such as fried oysters, shrimp balls, and Spanish white pork chicken broth ramen. The ingredients are very fresh and of high quality. The only downside is the limited seating space.
