Top 10 Things to do in Tsim Sha Tsui, China
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.

The HK Tourism site located near the Star Ferry Terminal on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong was incredibly helpful to us during our recent visit to Hong Kong. They were able to provide maps, tourist destination brochures and guidance that was incredibly helpful given the shut down of many attractions in Hong Kong because of the coronavirus situation.

My girlfriend found these guys through Tripadvisor and we couldn't help ourselves to give it a try. Having tried some VR setups before I had some expectation of the visuals and usage of the goggles but honestly I was blown away by all their custom equipment. Rumble suits, VR harness, custome guns/rifles, tracking sensors for your legs and arms. It all added to the extensive VR experience. Aside from the software which is designed in house they have clearly thought about what will give you a more immersive experience by adding the rumble to your body and extra wind effects. All I can say for something that is still in development this is by far the most immersive experience I have every had. Period. Another bonus point is that you don't get motion sickness (depends per person of course) because you are walking and moving your body. So it actually feels like you are there. I believe your brain handles the sensory input better when move senses are stimulated. Just using your eyes is not enough. Cut a long story short. You would miss out on something special if you didn't try this.

What a find, the Hong Kong Museum of History was fabulous and free. Three hours passed so quickly, the exhibits and artifacts cover the history of Hong Kong in chronological order were superb. The exhibition starts in the prehistoric year and covers everything in between to modern times, there are recreated harbourside scenes, full sized traditional town streets and temples, quality pieces and so colourful and informative. Definitely worthy of a return visit in the future. Open daily, closed on Tuesday. Nearest MTR stations are Hung Hom, Jordan and Tsim Sha Tsui.

This major tourist hub is complete with many shops and landmark, such as the Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower. Some call this area Hong Kong's equivalent to the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

It’s a shopping district with various choices on food, among other stuffs. You can definitely do window shopping here, and it is worth mentioning that this is the place where some of the HK museums are located (e.g HK Space Museum)

What an absolutely beautiful unforgettable harbour this is. We were lucky enough to have a hotel room that overlooked the entire harbour and never tired of the sight we were greeted with. The skyline is breathtaking both throughout the day and at night. The buildings on HK island light up daily and with the light show every night at 8 it truly offers you an unforgettable view. Loved watching the different boats and ferries crossing the harbour and seeing the helicopter taking off and landing opposite it was magical

7. Hong Kong Skyline

The Hong Kong Skyline is regularly mentioned amongst the finest skylines in the world. Beautifully situated on the north of Hong Kong Island Island facing Victoria Harbour and the Kowloon Peninsula, this is a real highlight for visitors to the city and a source of pride for residents of Hong Kong. You can enjoy the Skyline from Hong Kong Island, best viewed from atop Victoria Peak where you view downward, catching elevated views of both Hong Kong and Kowloon skylines as well as Victoria Harbour sandwiched in between. This makes for postcard pictures and memories of visits to HK. However, it is from the southern point of the Kowloon Peninsula along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade and Avenue of Stars where you see the immense scale and depth of the Hong Kong Skyline best. From this ground level vantage point, the string of skyscrapers with Victoria harbour in front of you and Victoria Peak behind the skyline, is excellent during the day and simply remarkable at night. For best up close views of the skyline, consider taking the iconic Star Ferry crossing from Kowloon to Central district on Hong Kong Island. As you approach, the Hong Kong Skyline grows increasing large and looming. Views are less stable since you are on the water but up close vantage points can be rewarding. For impressive elevated views from the Kowloon side, consider the Aqua Bar at One Peking Road. This is where you find views from the 30th floor, just gorgeous at night when the skyscrapers are lit up illuminating the entire seafront of the island. For even higher vantage point, try the Sky 100 Observation Deck at the IFC building. Cloud conditions often obscure views from this height and the entry fee is a bit steep but this is the highest view point, up in the clouds.

My wife and I have recently returned from spending 10 days in Kowloon -Hong Kong. Our hotel - The Kimberley, was only a five minute walk from Kowloon Park which we visited on a number of occasions. Whilst walking through the park on our first visit we stumbled across the Heritage Discovery Centre located in the centre of the park. We walked into the foyer and wasn't quite sure if there was an admittance fee until one of the staff invited us into the centre. We quickly worked out it was free of charge. We then spent the next hour and half learning about the history of Hong Kong and it's dynasties, including the Ming dynasty. We found the artefacts and history fascinating, and would go as far to say that we found it better than the Hong Kong Museum of History also based in Kowloon. If you have the time, we thoroughly recommend visiting this centre.

The Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMOA) was closed for nearly 3 months due to the 4th wave of the Covid-19 pandemic here locally. However, it recently reopened (19 Feb 2021) with Special Opening Arrangements including the limiting entry numbers and opening hours to 10am to 5pm daily. With HKMOA reopened now, visitors have opportunity to experience the Botticelli and His Times exhibition (HK$30 per person) which includes 42 works from The Uffizi Galleries in Florence, Italy before the revised exhibition end date of 10 March 2021. This is an extremely rare opportunity to view collection of works by Old Masters of Italian Renaissance art, something we are lucky to have in Hong Kong in 2021. We managed to visit recently and found the Botticelli exhibition to be very good. The exhibition features artworks of Sandro Botticelli, Filippo Lippi and contemporaries who shaped the cultural movement of the Renaissance art scene in Florence during the 15th-16th centuries. It is well curated with the artworks arranged in logical manner through 6 gallery rooms. Lighting is understandably low to protect the works but good enough for photographs. The more important paintings include written summaries (English and Chinese) and there is a free downloadable audio guide which covers around 15 of the highlight works as well. Overall, we were very pleased with the HKMOA's Botticelli and His Times exhibition. We visited leisurely and spent an hour and 45 minutes at the exhibition, finding it an impressive follow up to the 2020 Turner to Hockley Sense of Space exhibition, which celebrated the long awaited reopening of the museum. That is two solid exhibitions of western art history and reason to be excited about the future might hold for important art showings at HKMOA. Note: The permanent exhibitions at HKMOA provide another 2-3 hours worth of rewarding art viewing opportunities. There are usually 2-3 other temporary exhibitions that are on display as well. These are usually free to visit and experience. You can find details on the museum website.
