Central Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Central Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Hong Kong | I prefer the feel of everyday film over cinematic film!!
| Compared to the cinematic feel, I love the everyday film vibe even more!! Summer in Hong Kong is just too photogenic!
This time, I didn't go for the Hong Kong movie style, didn't pay homage to Wong Kar-wai, nor did I check in at popular photo spots. Instead, I took the everyday film route and casually strolled and snapped photos!
I like the warm, nostalgic storytelling of film. The streets and alleys of Hong Kong are filled with the marks of life and time, and the film vibe makes these scenes more emotionally resonant.
Moreover, the film style is natural and unpretentious, closer to the true essence of life. Without the need for deliberate staging and props, moving images can be captured through the rich artistic processing of film filters.

⑧ Sitting on the second floor of the tram, capturing the experience of riding (9)
Experience Another Side of Hong Kong's Bustling City
Every weekend, I really enjoy wandering around the city from Sai Ying Pun to Central and Sheung Wan. During the holidays, unlike the busy workdays, there are fewer people around, and there are quite a few foreigners, making it feel very leisurely.
Short-distance route recommendation: Walk from the Central MTR station exit to the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator and go to Tai Kwun (the renovated former Central Police Station) for a visit or a drink. Then you will pass through the SoHo area and old-style tea houses like Lin Heung Kui/Luen Hing Restaurant, where you can sit down for a cup of tea and try some local dim sum. After resting, you can follow the stairs to the Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum and the famous Ladder Street for a photo op. Then visit PMQ for some local arts and culture, and finally, go to the Man Mo Temple, a popular filming location for many movies, to experience the essence of Chinese culture before leaving from the Sheung Wan MTR station.
Address - Around Central and Sheung Wan
Environment - Comfortable and leisurely
Facilities - Tai Kwun, PMQ, Dr. Sun Yat-sen Museum, etc.
Average Price - Scenic spots along the way are free
Rating - 8.5 out of 10
Visiting Victoria Peak in Hong Kong, you must take the vintage tram! Includes transportation + photo spots
Visiting Victoria Peak in Hong Kong is a must! Taking the vintage tram up the mountain to see Victoria Harbour and the sunset night view will truly amaze you.
-
🚠Transportation guide:
1. Effort-saving method - Tram up and down the mountain: Exit from J2, follow the signs or navigate to "Peak Tram", it's about five or six hundred meters away
2. Bus up, tram down: Take bus X15 from the Admiralty MTR station exit to go up the mountain, with both routes having a bus about every 20 minutes
3. Hike up, tram down: Get off at the University of Hong Kong station and exit from A2, turn left at the exit to enter the entire hiking route~ It's roughly from the Graduate House of the University of Hong Kong—Morning Trail at Lung Fu Shan—Hatton Road—Peak. Make sure to go along Lugard Road, where you can see the full view of Victoria Harbour. Hiking beginners should not choose a route that's too exhausting
-
📷Photo spots:
✔️May Road: After coming out from "High Lane", enter May Road, cross the road and head to the left front, continue up the mountain from the small path on the left side of the tram tracks, this route offers a clear view of Victoria Harbour and the Central skyscrapers
✔️Barker Road: This spot allows you to capture the effect of passing by the tram, which looks very nice, and there's also a British vibe
✔️Sky Terrace 428: The tram terminus, I entered with a combo ticket, which allows an overlooking view of the entire Victoria Harbour
✔️Lion's Pavilion: This place doesn't require a ticket to capture the panoramic view, it's quaint and great for photos
✔️Lugard Road: A free spot to view the panorama, but it requires hiking to reach. Personally, I find it a bit dangerous, but the photos are indeed stunning and impressive
-
✔️Travel tips:
For those uus who want to take photos, make sure to choose a good weather day, and the group should arrive at the peak before sunset🌇Trust me! I could watch the night view of Victoria Harbour a hundred more times!!
I want to use 9 photos to tell you why I love Hong Kong so much

Hong Kong Tramways Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Great experience on the Ding Ding!
#familytrips2024
Hong Kong Tramways (HKT) is a 3 ft 6 in (1,067 mm) narrow-gauge tram system in Hong Kong. The Ding Ding, as it's colloquially known, offers an upstairs seating area that provides a nice view from the tram. The fare for the tram is only HK$3, making it the best way to explore the local streets and great for sightseeing. While this tram is slower than the MTR, it offers a unique experience, especially when seated on the top deck. You only need to pay when you get off the tram. Highly recommended for travelers!
I wish to go to Hong Kong for my family trip as Hong Kong is paradise for food lovers, offering a wide variety of culinary delights. My family will enjoy very much.

🇭🇰Hong Kong is really perfect for Citywalk
Strolling and taking photos 📷 is just too joyful
The photos capture the flowing city 🏙

Why didn't anyone tell me before I went to Hong Kong!!!
🥺 I went in a hurry without any strategy, really at a loss! I took many detours and missed many places, this post will help you avoid pitfalls⬇️⬇️
Don't take the bus to cross the sea! It charges based on the distance from the boarding station to the terminal station, the first time I got on the bus it cost me almost 30, it was so expensive!!! The subway is fast and cheap
Wear a pair of comfortable shoes! Most of the time you have to walk, especially in Central + Mong Kok area
The weather is still around 20 degrees, it will be very hot and sunny in the morning, do a good job of sun protection, and wear a jacket at night to prevent catching a cold
The 711 coming out of the airport is unlikely to buy the cheapest and most cost-effective SIM card (the $39 one), it is recommended to directly get a Hong Kong package, you can connect to the internet as soon as you land
If you go to Hong Kong and Macau together, just get a five-day Hong Kong and Macau package, the internet speed is very fast, and it's not expensive!
Octopus is really convenient, in addition to the subway and tram, convenience stores and most restaurants can be swiped!
It is recommended to exchange about 800 cash💰 for two people, it's almost enough, if you have more, you can't use it (you can use it in Macau if you have more)
Jenny's little bear🍪 is very delicious, it still has the taste of childhood, but there is a high probability that you will have to queue up, unless you go very early, it is recommended to buy directly from the official🍑 and send it home, saving time for play, and you don't have to carry it in your hand
Kam Tong😋 roast goose is really really really delicious! It's the light of my Hong Kong, it's very popular, you can call in advance to make a reservation (you can only use a Hong Kong phone number)
I'll add more when I think of it!!!
Hong Kong Tramways 🇭🇰
#hongkongtrip
Ding-Dings are essential to Hong Kong and a popular activity for city visitors. These double-decker trams have been sweeping the streets of Hong Kong Island since 1904, offering cheap trips to locals and a great experience for tourists for more than a century.
Although the beloved name (Ding Ding) is officially known as Hong Kong Tramways, it refers to the sound of the bell that erupts when trams announce a stop to drop off and pick up passengers.
In short, these are slowly moving trams that make their way through different areas of Hong Kong Island, taking Hong Kong’s local markets, restaurants and skyscrapers along the way. There are many stations so you can enter or get off every 50 to 100 meters, whenever and wherever you want. There Are Quite A Few Ding-dings So You Don’t Have To Wait Long To Ride One.
During Normal Times, Ding-dings Can Be Very Full. When this happens, just wait for the next one to roll over to the ding-ding station and climb into it instead. The best views are upstairs where you have better views of the streets and market scenes around you. If you’re tall, the basement can present challenges to see outside.
There are six different routes from Kennedy City in the west to Shan Ky-Wan in the east. Trams run from 5.45am to midnight every day, depending on the route.
Flights are now HK$2.60 per adult and HK$2.30 per child. It is better to pay with an octopus card.
Note that you will pay for your trip when you exit Ding Ding. The ascent occurs from the back. Then just find a seat and enjoy your trip. When exiting, press your octopus card or drop your coins even next to the driver. Payments are not taken and the change is not provided by the driver, so make the payment accurate ready when you leave.
