Back from Hong Kong and Macau! Hong Kong and Macau travel guide recommendation

At the end of October, I went on a 5-day trip to Hong Kong and Macau. It was my first time there, and joining a tour group was very convenient. I didn’t have to worry about food, accommodation, or transportation at all, which really saved a lot of money. The 5-day schedule was very relaxed, and I even had some free time in both Hong Kong and Macau. I visited all the famous local attractions and felt very satisfied with the entire trip. ⛺【Must-visit local spots】: Hong Kong must-visit attractions: Golden Bauhinia Square: Taking a photo with the Golden Bauhinia is a must when visiting Hong Kong. There’s an ice cream truck nearby, so it’s good to get there early to line up. Avenue of Stars + Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower: These two attractions are in the same area. The Clock Tower looks better when photographed from the Avenue of Stars. If you want to see the handprints and statues of Hong Kong film stars, you need to walk a bit further. If not, like many tourists, you can sit on a bench and enjoy the Victoria Harbour view, taking photos with the harbor and Hong Kong’s skyscrapers—it’s very photogenic. West Kowloon Cultural District + Hong Kong Museum of History: These attractions are also close to each other. This area is a leisure spot for Hong Kong residents, where you can see beautiful ladies walking their dogs and handsome guys jogging. It’s also a great place for seaside photos. Victoria Peak + Repulse Bay: Victoria Peak offers a panoramic view of the entire city, and the route also shows beautiful sea views. Repulse Bay has clear water where you can play in the sand and swim, with people from different countries. Victoria Harbour 【Star Ferry Day Tour + Bauhinia Night Tour】: Victoria Harbour is a major highlight of Hong Kong. The scenery feels completely different during the day and at night. The night view of Victoria Harbour truly showcases the charm of an international metropolis. Very unforgettable. Macau must-visit attractions: Golden Lotus Square: Taking a photo with the Golden Lotus is a must when visiting Macau. Ruins of St. Paul’s: Macau’s landmark, a must-visit for tourists. A-Ma Temple: Experience Macau’s faith here. There is a small hill, and it’s recommended to climb it for a look. Fisherman’s Wharf: For people from Shanxi, the experience at Fisherman’s Wharf is excellent. The sea breeze is refreshing and very comfortable. The Parisian Macao: Take a photo with the Eiffel Tower replica. About 20 minutes is enough here. The Venetian Macao Resort: A beautiful man-made space with an artificial sky and many shops. You can spend a whole day here. 🛬【Travel tips】: Suggested visiting times, number of days, must-see spots, and itinerary arrangements Hong Kong and Macau 5-day tour Day 1: Depart from Datong and arrive in Hong Kong.
