10 Historic Walking Areas in Hong Kong That You Shouldn't Miss
Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

1. Long Ke Wan

Reviewed By BradJill - Hong Kong, China
One of Hong Kong's most beautiful beaches is the isolated Long Ke Beach (Long Ke Wan) situated in the Sai Kung East Country Park. It is very isolated and requires a 1.5 km hike from the East Dam drop off point at the High Island Reservoir. Long Ke Beach is a long stretch of fine, soft white sand with clean blue waters (not always easy to find in Hong Kong) and beautiful grounds. The beach is at the back of the large cove, it is boxed in between rocky shores and a small Long Ke village with hilly grounds just behind the beach. There is a lot of space for those who bring tents in to enjoy some camping. There is also a public portable toilet as well. When approaching Long Ke Beach, which is along the famous MacLehose Trail (stage 2), you will first see it from the elevated trails on either sides. From here, there are sweeping landscape views with the beach. It is beautiful see from the trail. You then hike down the trail to the beach area and just enjoy yourself. Note: We have regularly seen feral cows hanging out on the north end of the beach in the grassy, wooded area where there is shade and a fresh water creek. These are interesting to see as part of visits to Long Ke Beach.

Love Kennedy town, such a dynamic atmosphere with many shops, bars and restaurants. Streets are also way cleaner than other areas in HK. Whatever you're looking for, KT has it. Great mix community between expats and locals, and super convenient thanks to the MTR.

The Avenue of the Stars promenade was re-vamped a couple years ago and is now a beautiful, open pedestrian space that runs alongside the Victoria Harbour. Stepping off the Star Ferry, you can follow the promenade right along the waterfront, with fabulous million-dollar views across to Hong Kong island. The main attraction is the view but they have also created a Hollywood-style Walk of Fame feature with bronze handprints on the railings instead of stars on the ground. Over 100 Hong Kong celebrities and actors, including Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh (Crazy Rich Asians) and Chow Yun-fat, have made their mark here. Not many will be recognisable to overseas visitors but they are household names in Hong Kong. If you’re curious to know who’s who, each plaque has a QR code so you can scan it for more information. Of the four bronze sculptures, the most famous is Bruce Lee – recognisable to everyone, surely. Standing on an elevated water feature, he strikes his classic martial arts pose. It fits in nicely with Bruce’s famous quote, “Be water my friend. Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water” The other statues are Cantopop diva Anita Mui, the cartoon pig McDull and a female figure representing the Hong Kong Film Awards.

I adore flowers especially orchids so this market was the icing on the cake. Hundred and hundred of bouquets, orchids, bonsai. Everything you can imagine from roses chrysanthemums(another of my favourites) lilies.sunflowers to the rare and unusual. The smells are out of this world. My daughter and I visited on the first day of the Chinese New Year exhibition. it was jammed packed with people and plants A beautiful day of aaaah’s and oooooh’s
8. Stanley
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 3,040 reviews
Stanley is very different to other parts of Hong Kong, or completely different from what you think about Hong Kong. Stanley, located at the southern of Hong Kong island, is much more relaxed with beaches, hills and coves. You will find the western atmosphere in this small Chinese town.

Many tourists only get as far as the famous Stanley Markets but if you explore just a little further, Stanley also has a couple of good beaches, a lively waterfront promenade with a stretch of bars and restaurants, Ma Hang Park and historic buildings like Blake Pier, the colonial police station and Murray House as well as several temples. In particular Ma Hang Park gets largely overlooked but it has easy, short hiking trails and boardwalks that lead you past coastal views and the Pak Tai and Kwun Yum temples. Entry is free. Stanley is an excellent half day trip. Several Citybus buses run directly there from the Central bus terminus at Exchange Square (6, 6A, 6X and 260). They run regularly and take between 30 – 50 minutes. Taxis are reasonably inexpensive (about $80HKD) but if you have the time, it is well worth taking the bus. Sit upstairs on the double-decker to get the most out of the scenic trip as the bus hurtles around the narrow winding coastline road, past Repulse Bay and Deepwater Bay. Kids will enjoy this and at times, it’s not unlike an amusement park ride, especially if you have the front seats at the top. If you have a full day to explore, then you might like to get off at Repulse Bay, have a quick look around and continue onto Stanley.

Flights of steps to walk up (or down depending on where you start). Take your time to walk up and do some shopping along the way. Shopping is mainly roadside stalls selling knick-knacks When you have reached the top of the steps, you can then turn right and walk down the overhead walkway which actually is next to the famous Escalators. Have fun walking and walking!
