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.

A bit off the beaten track but well worth the effort to get there. The invasion of HK during WW2 was not a high-point in British colonial history, with HK being completely unprepared for the Japanese invasion from the mainland. Makes this historical event come alive. And found out that a family friend had actually played a key role in the escape of the one-armed Chinese general!
3. Sai Wan War Memorial and Cemetery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 20 reviews
The island of Hong Kong fell to the Japanese on Christmas Day 1941 following a brief but intense period of fighting. Most of those buried in this cemetery were killed at this time, or died later as internees or prisoners of war during the Japanese occupation. The remains of those who died as prisoners in Formosa (now Taiwan) were brought to Hong Kong for burial at Sai Wan in 1946. There are now 1,505 Commonwealth casualties of the Second World War buried or commemorated at Sai Wan War Cemetery. 444 of the burials are unidentified. There are special memorials to 16 Second World War casualties buried in Kowloon (Ho Man Tin) No 3 Muslim Cemetery, whose graves were lost. There are also 77 war graves of other nationalities from this period, the majority of them Dutch and 7 non-world war graves that the Commission maintains on behalf of the MoD. The cemetery contains special memorials to 12 First World War casualties buried in Kowloon (Ta Sek Ku) Mohammedan Cemetery, whose graves have since been lost. At the entrance to the cemetery stands the SAI WAN MEMORIAL bearing the names of more than 2,000 Commonwealth servicemen who died in the Battle of Hong Kong or subsequently in captivity and who have no known grave. Additional panels to the memorial form the SAI WAN CREMATION MEMORIAL, bearing the names of 144 Second World War casualties whose remains were cremated in accordance with their faith, and the SAI WAN (CHINA) MEMORIAL, commemorating 72 casualties of both wars whose graves in mainland China could not be maintained. Both the cemetery and memorial were designed by Colin St Clair Oakes.

A beautiful, well maintained cemetery with plenty of information about the history of why & how the personnel who are buried there died. Also memorials to those who died but are not buried there. There was a register there which gave the names of all the fallen. Very thought provoking and very emotive. Easy to get to. MTR to Chai Wan then the 16x bus which drops you right ourside. If you carry on up the hill you can get a bus back down to where you can get on the MTR again. We also saw the Bhuddist and Muslim cemeteries which take up a very large area of the hillside and valley below. Glad we went.

This park is huge and long and starts stretches 3 train stops - Quarry Bay, Tai Koo Shing and Sai Wan Ho. The park itself has many detours and whilst you can just walk along the seafront promenade, there are detours away from the seafront. There’s plenty of clean toilets, water and snack kiosk, trees and greens, a beautiful Harbour that stretches far and wide. It’s open 24 hours. The park is also used as a scenic connecting walk from One point to another as there are many exits in between. There is a board walk and a section for walking pets (mostly dogs). Great to visit any season of the year. You find lots of people exercising- jogging, brisk walking, tai chi, line dance. Sunrise are beautiful there too.

I went there to have happy hour with friends! Very nice environments with open area and see the beautiful night scene in the east side of Hong Kong island. Price is reasonable and drink is standard. Good place to go if you worked near quarry bay.
