266 Reviews Since opening in 2006 the NP360 Cable Car gives visitors to Lantau Island a different and scenic way to arrive at the Big Buddha. The cable cars offer 360 degree views from the large all glass cabins. There is an option to purchase a slightly more expensive ticket in a Crystal Cabin. This adds an...
364 Reviews For most visitors to Hong Kong a trip to the top of Victoria Peak is high on the agenda and the most famous way to do this is to ride the tram from the Peak Tram Lower Terminus in Central. The famous furnicular Peak Tram has been in operation since 1888. Prior to that the only public transport...
56 Reviews The Jumbo kingdom floating restaurant is soOo unique! it's name came from where it is situated, obviously, floating in the aberdeen harbor. this restaurant is so popular among the locals and especially to the tourists. We went here to have lunch on my last day in HK but I think it's better if you go...
111 Reviews Lan Kwai Fong in Central is reasonably sleepy during the day but from early evening the hilly narrow L shaped section of D'Aguilar and Lan Kwai Fong streets bursts into life. This is the fashionable place to be seen out and about in Hong Kong and a great spot for people watching. Most bars have...
153 Reviews At MTR stations, I think they try to prevent usage of baby push chairs or big luggage through ordinary gate. So, if you use any of those, keep your eyes on special gates which will lead you to lifts only. Of course, unless you fold the push chairs.
59 Reviews I saw a HUGE billboard for this store in Nathan Road and thought to myself "Ive gotta go here!" I asked a westerner one day and they told me it was in Canton Road and walking distance from Hop Inn, so I think it was about day 5 and I did a solo venture to find it! Basically H&M is relatively cheap...

31 Reviews While making a round tour at Hong Kong, Victoria, Aberdeen, our Guide stopped the bus and shows us a public bath place at south sea coast: "See, this is very shure bath place because it is with guarantee free of sharks- roundup is installed a strong net". So for a traveller it needs no more...
27 Reviews The lower end of Nathan Road Kowloon used to be known as The Golden Mile. I can only assume that this was because the touts lined their pockets with tourist "gold". It is well documented (by VT members and travel bloggers) that this area of Hong Kong is where tourists are most likely to be parted...
24 Reviews If you are planning on doing some hiking, then bring combat pants/trousers . Can buy toiletries And medical supplies in Mannings or Watsons should you need to stock up. You can buy camping or outdoor gear very cheaply in HK. Bring to TWO passport sized photos if you want a visa done for China or...
53 Reviews If you've had enough of the hustle and bustle of the city, this is where you can go to get back to nature. At 958 meters, Tai Mo Shan is the highest mountain in Hong Kong. The surrounding area is a Country Park, which covers an area of 1,440 hectares. It is located in the New Territories north of...
44 Reviews It might happen that the Q for the Victoria Peak is really long. Depending on your plans and on your budget, pass the line on the left and proceed to the counter of Madame Tussaud.
