Things to do in Hong Kong, China: The Best Architectural Buildings

May 22, 2021 Randal Brittian

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.

Victoria Dockside

Victoria Dockside, the 3 million-square-foot global art and design district along Hong Kong’s iconic Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront, is poised to be a new global landmark, taking Hong Kong to a new cultural frontier.

The Victoria Dockside was re-vamped in a US$2.6 billion make-over a couple years ago. It is now a beautiful, open promenade that runs alongside Victoria Harbour. It is best combined with a trip on the Star Ferry. As you step off the ferry, head to your right where the promenade starts and from here, it will take you right along the waterfront, past those million-dollar views of Hong Kong's iconic skyline. In terms of views, it doesn't get much better than this. The other main points of interest are the Avenue of Stars (a Hong Kong version of the Hollywood Walk of Fame) and K11 (a surprising mix of public art and high-end, luxury shopping). There are several places to eat and drink, ranging from Wildfire and Starbucks to upmarket spots inside K11 such as the Fortnum & Mason food hall and the Rosewood bar, Darkside. It is particularly pretty at sunset but it comes alive at night. From 8pm each night, a 10 minute choreographed laser-light show, ‘Symphony of Lights’, sets the harbour and the buildings of Hong Kong ablaze. This is the best place to watch it for a front row view.

Hong Kong West Kowloon Station

Hong Kong West Kowloon Station is the cross-boundary gateway for High Speed Rail in Hong Kong. The giant curtain wall of the station comprises over 4,000 irregular glass panels, and the spectacular structure is supported by 9 sets of massive columns of different heights. The curved ceiling of the station was built with over 8,000 tons of steel, which is almost the weight of the Eiffel Tower!

Direct high speed train from here to most major cities in China, the station is connected to MTR rail line, with covered bus and taxi stations just outside. Restaurants and fast food services are conveniently located on most levels. The China/Hongkong ferry terminal is about 10 minutes walk towards Tsim Sha Tsui. This is a good place to visit even if you are not taking a train, the building are very photogenic inside out.
