Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features.

I took my husband and our two teenagers to island on a Monday. To avoid crowds in the weekend. We took the ferry at Admiralty Pier 5. The ride took us roughly 45 mins each way. We were planning to do “islands” hopping from one island to another. Upon to our arrival to Cheung Chau, we decide to spend the whole day there. No car. No transit there. You can rent bicycles at the piers upon arrival. Or like us, we walk around by foot. And rent the tricycles for an hour for fun. Along the coast are seafoods eateries one after another. And make sure you venture to allies. Tons of tons of street food! Don’t miss slice frozen water melon on the stick! Moo-chi are freshly made daily with multiple favors like mango and my favorite Durian ???? Curry fish balls, golden bubbles and more and more! Great great original local native fish balls fish cakes and rice noodles!
3. High West Peak

For the complete Peak experience without the tourist traps, ride up on Bus # 15, and start the hike at Lugard road, with its numerous overlooks - then hike up to High West at the intersection with Hatton and Harlech. There are many steep steps, but they are small, and the hike should not be a problem for a fit person (carry plenty of water on hot days, as there aren't vending machines nearby).The 360 % view is spectacular. Even in less-than-perfect visibility, the sight of Lantau island's peaks poking out of the fog will be stunning. Morning Trail is relatively easy to hike up or down. Note that the top of Victoria Peak itself is closed to visitors because of its cellphone and TV towers - High West is the next best alternative.

I could have spent hours here admiring all of the beautiful birds. Such a nice place to go to get away from the busy city and listen to the sounds of many different tropical birds. Keep your eyes open, some are really hard to spot! Free!

The Hong Kong Hiking Trail is one of “The Big 4” hiking trails that together cover the whole of the island. This trail stretches over 50km, running from Victoria Peak to Big Wave Bay and crossing over 5 different country parks. It is broken into 8 clear sections, making it very easy to choose the sections you want to do and pick up the start of that trail. Be aware that the different sections vary quite a lot in difficulty. Overall, the trails are really well marked and sign-posted. Each 500 metres, there is a standardised metal plaque so you can easily gauge how far you’ve come. Every once in a while, you will also come across a large map board which is handy to stop at and check your position, especially as some of the big trails intersect and overlap. None of the trails are loops so you will have to return via public transport or taxi to your starting point. The paths are generally easy to follow but they also vary enormously, from paved paths or roads to bushland dirt tracks which can be rocky or gravelly and stairs. Stage 8 is one of the most popular walking trails and is more commonly known as Dragon’s Back. I love this hike. It’s a moderately easy walk and is a good one for families. Although there is one long, steep stretch of stairs at the start, the rest of the walk is along the ridgeline. From here, you get the most wonderful views of the coastline and outlying islands and you end up at Big Wave Bay. It’s stunning and on a clear day, the views are just incredible. For tourists who have a few days here and want to see another side of Hong Kong, this walk is unbeatable. Stages 5 & 6 take you through Tai Tam Country Park but they are quite different hikes. Stage 5 is difficult whereas Stage 6 is an easy amble, over a long stonework dam and past the Tai Tam reservoirs and water catchments. All the country parks are free to enter. NOTE: Make sure to take plenty of water, sunscreen and hats with you as depending on which stretch you are doing, there may not be much opportunity to buy things or fill water bottles.

Beautiful, quiet serene place located in the middle of the city. Small zoo with many exhibits. Great way to relax from shopping and sight seeing.

Accidentally stumbled across this park while returning from a trip to Victoria Peak. It was a pleasant surprise with lovely gardens and the sweetest monkeys throughout. It is a clean park with toilets. Free entry and easily spend an hour or so walking around.
