What Are the Must-Do Things in Hong Kong?
Go shopping:
Hong Kong is one of the BEST shopping cities in Asia, yeah, I will actually say the world! It is not the cheapest city though so be prepared to dig deep and find your credit cards. There are so many huge shopping malls here, both on Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, so there are plenty to choose from. You can also do great bargains at the street markets. We went shopping for Action Figures.
Take the Peak Tram up to Victoria Peak:
Yes, it is touristy, and the queue is ridiculously long! But the view once on top is totally worth it, believe me! The tram trip takes 8 minutes and departs from Garden Road. At the top, there is a big shopping mall full of shops, cafes and restaurants. The Peak Tram runs every 10-15 minutes, from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m., and the fare cost 25 HK$ for a single and 36 HK$ return.
Drink Chinese Tea China is famous for their tea, but unfortunately, there are not many of the old authentic tea houses left in Hong Kong. An exception is Luk Yu Tea House (Stanley St, 24-26) which is an authentic vestige of a lost ear. It is a real old-school Chinese tea house, and the most famous traditional and authentic tea houses left in Hong Kong. It is beautifully decorated with black ceiling fans, wooden booths, ornate wood paneling, stained-glass murals and marble tabletops. They also serve Dim Sum. Their opening hours are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Just walk around Last but not least, you should put away the map and just wander around the streets of Hong Kong looking at all the vibrant and livelihood going on everywhere. Take in all of Hong Kong`s smells and noise. It is such a busy city, full of colors!
