Things to do in Hong Kong, China: The Best Historic Sites
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.

This place is a must visit when you are in Hong Kong. It caters to a less touristy crowed and features many artistic & fashionable boutiques. Here you can find a range of tasteful clothing, handmade jewelry, modern art, & a variety of home decor. This is a great place to buy tasteful souvenirs. PMQ is walkable from Hollywood Road & is easily accessible. This building has two major buildings connected by the ground level & a 4th floor park. You can spend hours here wandering through all the various boutiques. We ended up purchasing beautiful handmade trays, candles, framed art & glassware for our home. If you need a mid-day drink, they also have a sake shop with sake tastings offered! In addition to that, they have restaurants located on the ground & basement floor. They also have numerous bakeries and coffee shops throughout PMQ

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!
4. Ohel Leah Synagogue

This Synagogue is at the center of Jewish religious and social life in Hong Kong. It will take some effort to get there by public transportation: bus and uphill walking. The Jewish community comprises more than 200 families. Most of the Jews are Ashkenazi from Russia and Eastern Europe. The building contains a treasured collection of Torah scrolls including some that date back to the mid-19th century. After going through some intense security you are welcomed into an atmosphere of intimacy, warmth and spirituality. A Jewish community centre includes a Jewish day school, a kosher supermarket and meat and dairy restaurants. I enjoyed walking around the property, meeting some of the teachers and schoolchildren and a rabbinical scholar. He provided some interesting insights into Jewish life in Hong Kong. But, the highlight of my time was sitting in the sanctuary and feeling the threads of history while giving homage to my ancestors. After all the magnificent sights and experiences of Hong Kong, this was a special treat.
