    I like Ocean Park! I enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately we had to leave after 12nn since there was an upcoming storm. If we had better skies, we would have taken the cable car and cross to the area where the extreme rides are. The tour to the Panda and small animals and fishes was such a fun day for us.

    We came at the perfect time and waited only like 5-10 minutes (it was Monday around 1 p.m.). No crowds, everything was just great, Choose a place on the right side to get the best views!

    Queue was orderly and organised whilst waiting for the tram to head to the peak. Just scan qr code given by trip.com at turnstiles. Although only a short 10 minute ride, the views headed up were stunning and best seated on right side of tram to see the city down below. If this is missed, fret not as the views at the peak itself is breathtaking and many pics can be taken then. There are trails, viewing points and shopping activities at the peak. Public bus service is available if one purchases a single way tram ticket. Journey via bus downhill is pleasant and takes about 40 minutes.

    The West Kowloon Cultural District boasts a superb location with expansive waterfront views. The museum houses over 1600 stunning artifacts from the Palace Museum, including exquisite Qing Dynasty court relics and Ming Dynasty ceramics. The dialogue between ancient and modern design is incredibly innovative. Multimedia interactions and immersive experiences keep the experience engaging, even for young people. The exhibition halls are clean and well-organized, with clear explanations, and you can enjoy beautiful views of Victoria Harbour after a long visit. The ticket offers excellent value for money, allowing you to experience the charm of Chinese culture and enjoy innovative exhibits – a must-see when visiting Hong Kong!

    Definitely worth the visit. Plenty of souvenirs and food. The ice cream shop was interesting with so many flavours to choose from like coriander, chilli and sweetened vinegar. There were 249 steps to go up to the giant Buddha statue plus a few more steps internally to get up close. The CRYSTAL PLUS cabin was chosen as I get claustrophobic and it was the right choice, can be scary if you are afraid of heights.

    Operating from 12 PM daily, I arrived at 11:55 AM to find a long queue already formed. Having bought tickets in advance on Ctrip, a screenshot was all I needed to enter – very convenient! I was alone with my child, and after only a few minutes in line, we were kind enough to share a carriage with someone in front of us; thank you so much! The Ferris wheel automatically opens its doors after three rotations, taking about 15 minutes. The whole experience was great. On Ctrip, it's only 18 yuan for adults and 10 yuan for children – excellent value! While queuing, I bought some ice cream from the nearby R&F ice cream shop. This caused me to be stopped from entering the queue because you can't queue while eating. I had to finish eating before I could get in. So, if you want to experience this ice cream that evokes childhood memories of Hong Kong, I recommend buying it after you've finished the ride.

    Victoria Harbour, located between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, stretches from Lei Yue Mun in the east to Tsing Yi Island in the west. It is a natural deep-water harbor, ranking among the world's three largest natural harbors. Victoria Harbour boasts important facilities such as the Kwai Chung Container Terminal, and its Star Ferry route has been listed by National Geographic as one of the "50 Places to See Before You Die."

    Absolutely worth it! I saw the Stanley Line recommended on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book), and it was definitely worth the trip (I'd try other lines next time I'm in Hong Kong)! Firstly, it's incredibly convenient—hop on and off as you please. The stations are clearly marked, and you can check the timetable for each station via the app or by scanning the QR code on the station. Secondly, every station along the route was worthwhile. Due to time constraints, and traveling with elderly people and children, we only stopped at the Peak Tram, Stanley, and Repulse Beach stations. The train departs at 10:30 AM and returns to Central Ferry Pier at 6:30 PM, which was quite a relaxed journey. The only regret was that the kids were playing in the sand and we missed watching the sunset from the train, but the sunset at Repulse Beach was still amazing! On board, there are headphones with audio guides in different languages, allowing you to enjoy the scenery while learning about the stories behind it—a truly unique experience. The staff were all very friendly, and overall, a fantastic experience. I'd definitely try different routes next time!

    Visited M+ in West Kowloon and it really does feel like a mix of museum, design lab, and cinema all in one. The building is gorgeous, with big windows and harbour views, and the galleries blend Hong Kong visual culture with global contemporary art, design, architecture and moving-image works in a way that feels really cohesive. It’s the kind of place where you can wander from immersive installations to graphic design and architecture models without getting bored, and the waterfront setting makes it worth a visit even if you’re not usually a museum person—set aside a few hours, because there’s a lot more here than just a quick photo stop.
