What attractions in Hong Kong are worth visiting?

What are your impressions of the different tourist attractions in Hong Kong? If you are preparing to travel to Hong Kong, which Hong Kong attractions will you choose to visit?

For those of you who are traveling to Hong Kong for the first time, of course you hope to see some scenic spots with Hong Kong characteristics and experience the intersection of Chinese and Western cultures during your trip in Hong Kong. The best thing is to experience the bustling streets of Hong Kong and taste different Hong Kong-style cuisine at the same time. All in all, you can quickly experience the most prosperous and convenient side of Hong Kong in just a few days.

For those of you who have traveled to Hong Kong many times, you may want to go to some more authentic Hong Kong tourist attractions. It is best to go to places that only local Hong Kong people will know. The other thing is to go to some places that I didn’t have the chance to go to when I first visited Hong Kong. In short, I wanted to explore the outskirts of Hong Kong and arrange a trip away from the main tourist areas.

On the other hand, for those of you who have lived in Hong Kong for a long time, there seems to be no attractions worth visiting in Hong Kong except shopping malls. Because most places are exactly the same, there are no special attractions in Hong Kong at all.

Perhaps the impression that Hong Kong has always given people is that they go shopping in different shopping malls, go to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view of Victoria Harbor, or go to the Avenue of Stars to take photos with the Bruce Lee statue, etc. Standard attractions and standard itineraries. It seems that apart from these attractions, there is no other place worth visiting, and it will not make you want to go to Hong Kong several times. Therefore, some people think that a three-day travel itinerary is actually enough in Hong Kong, because there are not many attractions in Hong Kong that can accommodate a four-day or even five-day itinerary.

However, as long as you read the following list of Hong Kong attractions selected by local editors, it may change your imagination of Hong Kong attractions. In addition to some must-see sights in Hong Kong, it also includes some places that local Hong Kong people often visit on weekends. If you want to explore Hong Kong in depth, don’t miss this opportunity.

Tsim Sha Tsui Attractions

Tsim Sha Tsui, located on the Kowloon Peninsula, is one of the most popular attractions in Hong Kong. It is also a suitable spot for arranging sightseeing, shopping trips and tasting different food.

Tsim Sha Tsui Sightseeing Attractions

How can you experience Hong Kong’s history and culture in one day? Perhaps just arranging a day to visit different attractions in Tsim Sha Tsui can achieve this goal.

First, start from the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier and go to the Hong Kong Avenue of Stars and the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower located at the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade Gardens. You can learn about the history behind the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier and the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower.

Tsim Sha Tsui Shopping Attractions

In addition to the tourist attractions above, Tsim Sha Tsui is actually also a tourist area with many large shopping malls.

How did Tsim Sha Tsui become a shopping attraction? Basically, you can find everything from the most high-end fashion brands to specialty stores of general chain groups or the most authentic Hong Kong shops in Tsim Sha Tsui. And that’s not counting the restaurants from different countries in Tsim Sha Tsui, where you can try different types of dishes. Simply put, Tsim Sha Tsui is a suitable place for you to arrange a consumption-themed itinerary, or a cultural or sightseeing-themed itinerary.

On the other hand, if all shopping attractions in Tsim Sha Tsui are divided into different levels, then Harbor City, 1881 Heritage, and K11 Art Mall are the high-end large shopping malls in Tsim Sha Tsui. Because they have the most high-end brands, almost all brand handbags, cosmetics, and high-end clothing brands can only be found in these large shopping malls.

Central Attractions

I wonder if you all have the same question when planning your itinerary: What are the actual differences between the two attractions in Central and Tsim Sha Tsui?

For many people, Central and Tsim Sha Tsui are the main tourist areas in Hong Kong and the best places to enjoy the scenery of Victoria Harbor. Geographically, the biggest difference between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui is that one is located on Hong Kong Island and the other is located on the Kowloon Peninsula. In terms of the distribution of scenic spots, the scenic spots in Central are mainly concentrated in the Mid-Levels area of Central, and the scenic spots in Tsim Sha Tsui are mainly concentrated near the Tsim Sha Tsui Pier.

However, how can there be only a geographical difference between these two attractions, Tsim Sha Tsui and Central?

If you depart from Tsim Sha Tsui and take the Star Ferry to the Central Pier, you can start exploring the attractions in Central from the Central Pier. First, start from the Central Pier and walk along the footbridge to the Central Market. Then take the escalator from Central Market to Mid-Levels Central and arrive at Caine Road, Mid-Levels. There are many scenic spots worth visiting along the way.

For example, you will pass many skyscrapers, large shopping malls, and specialty stores of high-end clothing brands on the way. In addition, you will encounter some cultural and art-themed attractions, some historical sightseeing-themed attractions, some leisure-tourism-themed attractions, and streets with a large number of specialty restaurants. On the other hand, you will pass some buildings where local Hong Kong people live, small restaurants, and small shops, giving you the opportunity to observe the daily life of ordinary Hong Kong people.

To put it simply, Central is a place where different classes and cultures in Hong Kong come together.

Because you can find both the cheapest and the most expensive restaurants in Central. For example, a cup of Hong Kong-style milk tea that only costs HKD $20, or a high-end Western restaurant set menu that costs more than HKD$3,000 for everyone, can all appear on the same street in Central at the same time. So no matter what your travel budget is, you can still find some attractions that suit you to visit in Central.

One thing worth noting is that there are many special attractions worth visiting in the entire Central District. Because in terms of geographical location, in a broad sense, from the Peak Tram Terminus in the east to Man Mo Temple in the west, from the Central Pier in the north to Caine Road in Mid-Levels, they actually fall within the scope of the Central District.

Therefore, in the list of attractions below, we will divide Central into different parts. It is then subdivided into sightseeing attractions, shopping attractions, and special attractions, making it easier for you to understand the special features of each Central attraction.

If you want to visit some traditional Hong Kong attractions and some Hong Kong characteristic buildings within the same day trip.

Central must be the most suitable attraction for you.

Central Pier

If you stay at a hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, you can take the Star Ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui Pier to Central Pier. When you disembark from the Central Pier, you will first pass the Hong Kong Flyer and IFC Mall. You can take photos with the largest Apple Store in Hong Kong on the flyover, or walk next to the Hong Kong Ferris Wheel to enjoy the view of Victoria Harbor from another angle.

You will see the Hong Kong City Hall, Chater Garden, the Court of Final Appeal building, as well as the Bank of China Building and the HSBC Head Office Building in Queen's Road Central. These skyscrapers are all buildings with a long history in the Central District. After visiting these skyscrapers, you will pass by Landmark, a large shopping mall with many international clothing brand stores. After that, you can go to Duddell Street and visit the only gas lamp in Hong Kong.

After visiting the gas lamps on Duddell Street, you only need to walk 10 minutes towards the Sheung Wan MTR station to reach the Central Market. This is a wet market with many years of history. In recent years, it has been revitalized into a new attraction with many specialty shops and restaurants.

In addition to the scenic route themed around the historical buildings in Central all the way from the Central Pier to Caine Road, there are actually more unique attractions of different styles located in the eastern part of the Central district.

For example, after visiting the Bank of China Building and the HSBC Head Office Building, as long as you walk from the Bank of China Building to the Peak Tram Terminal, you will pass St. John's Cathedral and the Murray Hotel, Hong Kong. These two buildings have many years of history and rich history. Design distinctive buildings. In addition, the Hong Kong Park next to these two buildings is a large park with greenhouses, bird watching gardens, and gardens. It attracts many people to take a walk during holidays. Finally, just walk to the Peak Tram Terminus and take the newly designed Peak Tram to the Victoria Peak in Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Peak Tram, Hong Kong Victoria Peak

Starting from the Peak Tram Station in Central, the Peak Tram will first pass through three intermediate stations: Macdonnell Road, May Road, and Barker Road before finally arriving at the Peak Tram Station at the Peak Tower.

When the Peak Tram reaches the Peak Tram Station, you can go to the Peak Galleria first and climb to the highest observation deck on Hong Kong Island - Sky Terrace 428, and enjoy the most perfect view of Victoria Harbor from the highest point on Hong Kong Island. Then set off to Madame Tussauds Hong Kong and the 3D Art Gallery, where you can visit exhibitions with different themes.

In the afternoon, you can go to the restaurants in the Peak Tower to taste different delicacies, such as Forrest Gump Shrimp Restaurant with a perfect view of Victoria Harbor, Wildfire PizzaBa, or Pacific Coffee, etc. They are all very popular on the top of the mountain, and there are Restaurant with great view.

In addition, don’t forget to go to Lugard Road next to Peak Tower and enjoy the view of Victoria Harbor while walking on the nature trail.

Lugard Road is one of the few hiking trails in Hong Kong with convenient transportation and a view of the entire Victoria Harbour. It is also a very suitable place to enjoy the sunset and night view of Victoria Harbor. If you want to enjoy the view of Victoria Harbor from a different angle, in addition to going to the observation deck of sky100 or Skydeck 428, you should also go to Lugard Road. Because this is an attraction where you can enjoy the view of Victoria Harbor without purchasing tickets.

In addition, there is also a restaurant called The Peak Lookout next to the entrance of the Lugard Road hiking trail. This is a high-end restaurant in a building with a history of more than 100 years, mixing Chinese and Western designs. If one of the purposes of your trip to Hong Kong is to celebrate important festivals, The Peak Lookout will be a more worthy and stylish restaurant choice than other high-end Western restaurants.

Central Shopping Attractions

Like Tsim Sha Tsui, Central is also a tourist attraction with many large shopping malls.

To put it simply, the stores in Central can be divided into three major areas: the Landmark located near the Central MTR station, then the IFC Mall located on the waterfront in Central, and finally the shops on the main streets of Central.

Although Landmark and IFC Mall are both large shopping malls, Landmark has more specialized stores of international high-end clothing brands, such as Louis Vuitton and HERMES. If you plan to buy designer handbags, you must go to Landmark instead of IFC Mall.

Compared to Landmark, IFC Mall is a more suitable shopping mall for the whole family. Because you can find different types of restaurants in IFC Mall, from the most popular McDonald's fast food restaurant to the most high-end Guojinxuan fine Cantonese cuisine.

As for some shops and restaurants located on the main streets in Central, they mainly sell relatively cheap goods and some very popular restaurants. In addition, there are some shops specializing in Hong Kong souvenirs located next to Queen's Road Central and Des Voeux Road Central, as well as in the area near the escalator in Mid-levels Central.

For example: Lemon King, Chen Yizhai, Lan Fong Yuen, Bakehouse, Gongli Zhenliang Bamboo Cane Water, Chun Huitang Pharmacy, or Mannings selling cosmeceutical products, Wellcome Supermarket, etc. This area of Central is relatively close to the daily lives of ordinary Hong Kong people, so it will be easier for you to find some shops with Hong Kong characteristics and cheap products.

If you feel that the consumption level in IFC Mall is relatively high, we will recommend you to go to the Central Market and the restaurants and shops around the Central Center. I believe you will quickly find some products that suit your needs.

Central attractions

What other must-see special attractions in Central?

If you want to have the opportunity to experience the cultures of different countries and the nightlife culture of Hong Kong bars, then Lan Kwai Fong in Central is the most worthwhile attraction for you to visit. In addition, the "Central Old Town" is located between Queen's Road Central, Caine Road, Wyndham Street and Possession Street. This is a great place that gives you the opportunity to visit old buildings in Hong Kong up close, observe the natural integration of Chinese and Western cultures, and experience the daily life of local Hong Kong people.

Now, can you tell the difference between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui?

To put it simply, Central is not only a mixture of "commercial center x tourist attraction x shopping area", but also one of the very historical residential areas on Hong Kong Island. So you can experience different levels of Hong Kong culture and meet Hong Kong people from different backgrounds in Central.

And this kind of experience that can impact cultural cognition, I believe you can only find it in Central, Hong Kong.

Mong Kok Attractions

Although Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui are both located in Kowloon, Mong Kok is a tourist area with more restaurants and shops. On the contrary, it has fewer historical buildings and cultural experience activities than Tsim Sha Tsui.

However, Mong Kok is one of the favorite places for local Hong Kong people to arrange gatherings, and it is also a place where many brands will definitely choose to open branches. If you want to spend an afternoon shopping and tasting street food, Mong Kok is definitely the best place for you.

In recent years, after Mong Kok has undergone several large-scale reconstruction projects, large shopping malls have appeared one after another near Mong Kok MTR station, such as Langham Place, The FOREST, TOP, MOKO New Century Plaza, etc. Many sports brands and lifestyle department stores have chosen to open branches in these large shopping malls, and you can buy different types of products at one time. In addition, compared with those stores in Tsim Sha Tsui, the goods sold in Mong Kok are cheaper, and it is also a shopping hotspot that ordinary Hong Kong people go to.

In addition, Mong Kok also has a number of very popular specialty shopping streets. For example, there is the Ladies Street, which specializes in selling cheap clothing and Hong Kong souvenirs, or the Sneaker Street, which specializes in selling sporting goods. There are also Goldfish Street, Flower Market Road, Yuen Po Street Bird Garden, etc. You can arrange an afternoon to go to these specialty streets that sell a single product to see if there are some products you like. In addition, the above attractions are concentrated in the area between Dundas Street and Boundary Street in Mong Kok, so you don’t need to worry about what kind of transportation you need to take, because it doesn’t take too long to walk there from the MTR station.

Simply put, if you want to buy some daily products, fashionable clothing, electronic products, or plan to visit different stores, Mong Kok will be more suitable for you to spend time visiting than Tsim Sha Tsui.

Causeway Bay Attractions

Causeway Bay, located on Hong Kong Island, has fewer choices in terms of historical buildings, art and culture, etc. compared to Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. But when it comes to arranging your shopping trip, Causeway Bay is one of your must-visit attractions.

Because Causeway Bay is the largest shopping area on Hong Kong Island, it has more brands than Mong Kok, Tsim Sha Tsui, and Central combined. It is said that if you cannot find a branch of a certain brand in other areas of Hong Kong, you can definitely find it as long as you go to the large shopping mall in Causeway Bay. In addition, the most special thing about Causeway Bay is that it has more than 10 large shopping malls. In other words, as long as you have enough shopping budget, you will definitely be able to find the products you want in Causeway Bay.

In addition to having the largest number of shops in Hong Kong, Causeway Bay also has the most restaurants in Hong Kong.

Whether it's a teahouse specializing in tea and snacks, or a Hong Kong-style tea restaurant selling Hong Kong-style milk tea and pineapple buns, there are basically more than dozens of restaurants of different types near Causeway Bay MTR Station. In addition, if you want to eat dishes from other countries, such as Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, or some high-end Western restaurants, you can definitely find several restaurants in Causeway Bay. Give you a choice. What’s more interesting is: there are many restaurants in Causeway Bay concentrated in the same building. Basically, as long as you take the elevator to different floors, you are almost in a different country.

Another special feature of Causeway Bay is that you can see some high-end brands appearing side by side with civilian residences in the same location. I believe this situation is not something that can easily be seen in other cities.

Causeway Bay Sightseeing Attractions

If there are only shopping malls in Causeway Bay and no other unique Hong Kong attractions, you may miss many opportunities to experience Hong Kong's authentic culture.

Since Causeway Bay is a place where large shopping malls and residential buildings are highly integrated, as long as you walk from Causeway Bay towards Wan Chai, you will easily encounter some scenery that is common in Hong Kong's residential areas.

For example, you can experience the villain-beating stalls at Gooseneck Bridge, or go to Gooseneck Market to experience the shopping culture of Hong Kong’s wet markets. These are the best ways to experience the daily life of Hong Kong people. Especially the villain plots that you often see in Hong Kong movies, the common pork stalls, fish stalls, chicken stalls, etc. in the market. You can find these real scenes in the Causeway Bay market. In addition, since Gooseneck Market is very close to Causeway Bay MTR Station, you can already experience the shopping culture of Hong Kong’s wet markets without having to go to markets in other residential areas in Hong Kong.

In addition, whenever there is a horse racing day, such as Wednesday, Saturday, or Sunday*, you can spend an evening going to the racecourse to watch the horse racing live. As long as you walk from Causeway Bay MTR Station in about 20 minutes, you can reach Happy Valley Racecourse. If you choose to take the tram from Causeway Bay, you can reach Happy Valley Racecourse as long as you get off at the entrance of Happy Valley Racecourse.

Although Happy Valley Racecourse is a bit far from Causeway Bay MTR Station, if you want to experience the atmosphere of the horse racing scene and try your luck on the way, Happy Valley Racecourse is a worthwhile trip. Just arrange a 2-hour trip to Happy Valley Racecourse, and then take the tram back to Causeway Bay to continue your shopping trip.

*For the latest race day schedule, please refer to: Hong Kong Jockey Club HKJC

Causeway Bay Shopping Attractions

Perhaps for you who are coming to Hong Kong for the first time, there are too many large shopping malls in Causeway Bay. If you're not careful, it's like walking into a maze. You can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south, and you're completely lost.

In fact, it is not very difficult to know the direction clearly in Causeway Bay. As long as you stand at the busiest intersection, you can easily know the direction. The method is: stand at the intersection in front of the SOGO department store in Causeway Bay, then face the SOGO department store with your back, and face Hysan Place directly. On your right is Wan Chai MTR Station, and on your left is Tin Hau MTR Station. At the same time, behind SOGO Department Store is Victoria Harbor, and behind Hysan Place are Times Square and Lee Theater Plaza. Using the above method, you can easily identify the location of each large shopping mall and the location of the subway station.

To put it simply, if you stand in the open space outside Sogo Department Store, you can reach any shopping mall in Causeway Bay within ten minutes of walking. For example, there are different large shopping malls such as Kimberley Plaza, Hysan Place, Causeway Bay Plaza, WTC World Trade Center, Jardine's Place, Lee Gardens, Lee Theater Plaza, Times Square and so on. There are also shops of various sizes scattered along Lockhart Road, Jaffe Road, Percival Street and Leighton Road. If you plan to spend a large shopping budget, it is very likely that you will not visit all the shops in Causeway Bay for three days and three nights.

Lantau Island, Outlying Islands, and New Territories Attractions

If you can arrange a 4-day or more than 5-day trip in Hong Kong, we will recommend you to visit some scenic spots on Lantau Island, Hong Kong’s outlying islands, and the New Territories. Because these areas can feel another aspect of Hong Kong outside the city.

Lantau Island, outlying islands attractions

Although many people have said that Hong Kong is just a tourist city with only shopping attractions left, there are really not many reasons worth visiting again and again. However, as long as you have the opportunity to visit some scenic spots on Lantau Island, such as Tai O, Mui Wo, Discovery Bay, Cheung Chau and Lamma Island in the outlying islands, and some scenic spots in the suburbs of Hong Kong, you can These attractions are sure to change your perspective. Because you will find that these suburban attractions in Hong Kong are closer to the city than you think. Basically, you can quickly reach these attractions in less than an hour.

Tung Chung

Of course, there are some very popular attractions on Lantau Island. For example, the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car located next to Tung Chung MTR Station, the Tian Tan Buddha and the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car located in Ngong Ping. Or Hong Kong Disneyland located at Sunny Bay MTR Station. The above attractions are enough for you to plan a full day trip.

Tai O, Mui Wo, Discovery Bay

The three scenic spots Tai O, Mui Wo and Discovery Bay are recommended by us because there are no large chain stores or many cars in these places, and even convenience stores are not easy to find. Maybe it’s a little strange to say this, but an inconvenient attraction is worth recommending.

To be honest, because life in urban Hong Kong is so convenient, basically everything you want can be easily obtained. On the contrary, there are not many shops in these three scenic spots, just the most ordinary residents' lives, the simplest beaches, and the blue sky. Compared with urban life in Hong Kong where everything is available, these suburban attractions are even more precious.

Cheung Chau, Lamma Island

In addition, Cheung Chau and Lamma Island are some scenic spots that are not very far from Hong Kong Island. Starting from the Central Pier, it basically takes less than an hour to get there by ferry. In these two attractions, you can have organic contact with the daily life of the residents of the island fishing village, and you can also spend a little money to buy some seafood to eat on site. In addition, Cheung Chau and Lamma Island also have a very worthwhile reason to visit: each of these two islands has a beach, which is very suitable for arranging a full-day trip to see the sea, take photos, and enjoy different food in summer.

new territories attractions

Compared with Lantau Island and the outlying islands, which are mainly beaches and island experiences, you can find some urban and suburban attractions in Tai Po District and Sai Kung District in the New Territories. On the other hand, the New Territories is also a place where many local Hong Kong people go during holidays.

In addition to the Eastern New Territories, the Western New Territories also has many attractions with Hong Kong cultural characteristics. For example, Nan Fung Cotton Mill in Tsuen Wan, Che Kung Temple in Shatin, Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas in Shatin, and Hong Kong Wetland Park in Tin Shui Wai. These attractions allow you to experience Hong Kong’s local culture, visit temples, and visit Hong Kong’s natural scenery. And these areas are also attractions worth a whole day.

If you choose to travel to Hong Kong this time to celebrate an anniversary with your partner, you can consider visiting some scenic spots with beautiful landscapes and sea views. For example, the Peak Tower and the Peak Garden on Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, or the sky100 Observation Deck in Kowloon. Then we will arrange to go to the beach of Repulse Bay to enjoy the sunset, and participate in some leather goods workshops and copper bracelet workshops to create shared memories and experiences with each other. I believe that after these few days of travel, you will all become happier and more contented.

Attractions suitable for traveling with children

I believe that many parents will be troubled by the same question, that is, "How should I plan the tourist attractions when I bring a child to Hong Kong?" trouble.

Although there are many attractions in Hong Kong that are reluctant to entertain young school children, especially those high-end restaurants in business districts and restaurants that require queuing in tourist areas, there are also many attractions that target young school children and provide a place for them to They expend too much energy. For example, Hong Kong Disneyland, Hong Kong Ocean Park rides, and K11 MUSEA Hong Kong Legoland Discovery Center in Tsim Sha Tsui are some of the attractions that are very suitable for children to experience. In addition, you can also go to Repulse Bay Beach, M+ Museum Outdoor Space, and Hong Kong Park. These attractions do not require tickets, and there is enough space for children to burn off their energy. I believe that after they visit these attractions, even if you want to go to some higher-end restaurants in the evening, you don’t have to worry about them being mischievous.

Suitable for photography-themed attractions

There are many places worth taking pictures in Hong Kong. In addition to the fact that most people use Victoria Harbor as the background for photos and the beach as the background for photos, it is actually easy to pass by some characteristic buildings during travel, and some are also easy to miss. Photo spot.

Putting aside popular photo spots such as the Graham Street Mural in Central, Choi Hung Village, and Hoi Shan House in Quarry Bay, there are actually many more photography-themed spots in Hong Kong.

For example, they are located in Sai Ying Pun Art Square Mural Street, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, Tai Kwun in Central, Sheung Wan Man Mo Temple, Court of Final Appeal Building, Murray Hotel, Wan Chai Blue House, Chun Yeung Street Market in North Point, and Stanley Sunset in Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong Island. Or it may be located in Signal Hill Garden, Tsim Sha Tsui, West Kowloon Cultural District, M+ Museum, Kwun Tong Wai Yip Street Flyover, Lok Wah South Estate, etc. They are all places where beautiful photos can be taken and at the same time the transportation is relatively convenient.

Of course, you can choose to take photos at different subway stations and platform names. This is a good choice. In particular, the stop signs for Hong Kong Station, Choi Hung Station, Diamond Station, Central Station, Tsim Sha Tsui Station, and Mong Kok Station are the best way to prove that you have been to different areas in Hong Kong.

In addition, there are sunsets at Xiabaini, night view of Mount Garton, Bride's Pool Waterfall, Victoria Peak Park, UNESCO Global Geopark, etc., which are some of the scenic spots where it is easy to take beautiful photos. However, since these attractions are located far away from the city of Hong Kong, they are only suitable for those who are familiar with Hong Kong's transportation. If this is your first time traveling to Hong Kong, we recommend that you avoid these attractions first and go to those with convenient transportation first.
