Explore Hong Kong’s nature
Separating Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula, Victoria Harbour boasts spectacular views of the city skyline. To fully appreciate its beauty, board the traditional duk ling and set sail for a 360-degree view of the surrounding area. After sunset, the harbour offers a dazzling light show daily – A Symphony of Lights is best viewed from the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. Take the Peak Tram funicular and ascend to the summit of Victoria Peak for a spectacular viewpoint of the city below. Venture to Lantau Island and hop on the Ngong Ping Cable Car for aerial views of Tai O Fishing Village, the Big Buddha and Cheung Sha Beach. Escape the bustling city by taking a 30-min ferry ride to Lamma Island and hike the scenic 4km trail. Traverse through secluded beaches and temples while enjoying the unobstructed landscape of the island’s coastline.
At Hong Kong Disneyland, tap into the Force and wield your lightsaber against the evil Darth Vader, fly around Hong Kong with Iron Man and bite into some delicious Disney and Pixar-themed dim sum! Explore the natural geographical formations at Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark and learn how ancient volcanoes once reigned in the region, shaping the landscape as it is today. Be sure to check out the Devil’s Fist at Bluff Head and the inclined columnars around High Island’s Reservoir Dam. If you’re a nature enthusiast, head to Hong Kong Wetland Park for its rich natural biodiversity and spot native species like the Chinese Pond Heron and Pheasant-tailed Jacana. For families with kids, the park offers an indoor swamp area filled with obstacles and educational games, which are bound to keep the young minds entertained.
Relive nostalgia as you stroll along the swarming streets of Hong Kong. The ding ding trams have been around since 1904 – hop on this iconic ride and travel down old routes where traditional medicinal shops, old restaurants and historical buildings stand. Catch No. 68, an antique-style tram with an open-balcony for a full immersive experience: feel the breeze on your skin, listen to the buzzing city and smell the fragrance of freshly-baked bread and pastries. Visit the photogenic Montane Mansion, a system of interconnected buildings that is famous for being featured in many films – most notably Transformers: Age of Extinction. Head south to catch a glimpse of Aberdeen Floating Village, a unique fishing village of the Tanka people. Hop on a boat and learn about the area’s rich culture and history through an audio guide. If you’re lucky, you may be able to witness a live fish trade in action!
