Brave the Peaks of West Gouya

If you are used to hiking and want to take on a more difficult challenge, you can try a mountain that requires the use of both hands and feet, and that is Xigouya. Friends who think they have experience, skills, physical fitness and are not afraid of heights may want to give it a try. Take bus No. 11 or 23 in Tung Chung and get off in front of Shek Pik Reservoir Dam. Walk along the Shek Pik Country Trail for about an hour and you will see the entrance to Xigouya. You need to use your hands and feet to climb the mountain. Along the way, you can enjoy the stone wall pond. After crossing a few peaks, you can look back and see tooth-shaped peaks, which is very interesting. After climbing over the Yama Wall, you will reach Chan Chai Au, then go down the stone steps to Ngong Ping Village and take bus No. 23 back to Tung Chung. On the way back, I felt encouraged when I thought about how I had successfully challenged a difficult mountain!

Statue Square

Citi Plaza is located in the heart of Central🔝 The mall gathers the world's major brands, including LV and Chanel. Walking around feels super high-end, becoming a fashionista is not difficult✨ If you like to stay in a hotel and enjoy, I recommend the Citi Mandarin Oriental Hotel, decorated in a modern luxury style, beautiful to leave ~🤩 There is a SOMM restaurant on the 7th floor of the hotel, where sea urchin toast, grilled pork loin, black truffle toast, and eggs Benedict are Must Try! And the entire mall and hotel are close to popular attractions: - Queen's Statue Plaza (Address: Devou Road, Central, Hong Kong, open all day) - HSBC Head Office Building (Address: 1 Queen's Avenue Central, open Monday to Thursday 09:00-16:30, Friday 09:00-17:00, Saturday 09:00-13:00) If you want to stay in Central, Hong Kong Lan Kwai Fong (Kowloon Place) Hotel is one of the options (Address: 3 Kowloon Place, Central). 🏨 Whether shopping, staying in a hotel or checking out the surrounding attractions, Central is a great place to Chill for a day! 😍

Hong Kong Disneyland

A visit to Hong Kong Disneyland truly fulfills a childhood dream! The park's atmosphere is filled with joy and wonder. From the moment you step through the gates, you feel like you've been transported to a fairytale world. The most memorable experience was exploring the newest zone, World of Frozen, which beautifully and realistically recreates the kingdom of Arendelle. The Frozen Ever After ride, which follows the story of Anna and Elsa, is electrifying with special effects and familiar soundtracks. The roller coaster ride in this zone is just the right amount of fun without being too thrilling. Other must-see attractions include Mystic Manor, which boasts cutting-edge technology, and the space adventure Hyperspace Mountain, another thrilling experience. But the most memorable highlight is the spectacular nighttime show "Momentous" at the revamped Castle of Magical Dreams. The meticulously crafted projection mapping, light effects, water features, and fireworks tell Disney stories, leaving you in tears.

The Silveri Hong Kong - MGallery

This time I came to Hong Kong Tung Chung and stayed at the Silver Hill MGallery Select Hotel. This hotel is owned by the Accor Group and is located above the East Point Mall, in an off-island location far from the city. The whole style is simple and modern, quite suitable for travelers who want to get away from the city center and need convenient access to the airport or nearby attractions. The entrance to the hotel is more hidden, so you have to enter the mall first and then look for it. It may take some time to get familiar with the road for the first time. However, the stay did feel quiet and lively, plus there is a metro station and bus just next to it, making it extremely convenient both to and from the city or to get off the plane. Transportation facilities and surrounding attractions The selling point that attracts me the most is the extremely convenient transportation - the hotel is connected to MTR Tung Chung Station, 15 minutes to Hong Kong Station, Disneyland or to the On Ping 360 cable car is within easy reach, perfect for families or friends who want to change flights. And the hotel also offers a free airport transfer, so you won’t be in a hurry when you get off the plane to check-in. Don't worry if you have to go to famous outlets to shop or find good food. There is a large shopping mall downstairs, so you don't have to go out on rainy days. Rooms and Facilities Highlights Most of the room designs are consistent with the minimalist modern of the MGallery Group, visually super chill and comfortable. The space is large enough (living in Hong Kong is not easy), some room types can see the sea, and have the opportunity to see the plane landing, very tourist feel. The hotel has a swimming pool, gym, executive lounge, family play together or couples vacation is suitable; breakfast options, fruit platters and fresh bread of high quality, tried the glass cover exquisitely presented, very thoughtful. Services and Details The staff service is generally enthusiastic, attentive to answer travelers' inquiries or attractions, the check-in process is fast, however some details need to be improved (some customers have reported that the deposit refund process is a bit cumbersome, and the room occasionally has a biscuit or formaldehyde smell). If you want a better service experience, you may wish to communicate with the front desk about the room type requirements before checking in. Photo spots and humanistic scenery The exterior of the hotel is modern architecture, full of the unique small city atmosphere of Hong Kong's offshore islands. The lobby and breakfast area are brightly decorated, with fruit platters placed on marble tables with glass covers, which are very photogenic. Outdoors near the sea view, simultaneously feel the pulse of the city's rapid development, and more of a quiet holiday flavor. Itinerary tips Tung Chung is really a great choice to get away from the hustle and bustle, whether it's a transfer, family trip, or if you want to stop by Disneyland and the Great Buddha. The location of the hotel is relatively quiet, you can slowly enjoy the trip without being crowded, close enough to the city but not noisy at all. Booking Tips Early booking is recommended, especially on holidays and holidays, but it’s not hard to find deals. Note that some room types have special odors (scent-sensitive travelers can inquire in advance or try to upgrade the room type), deposit issues can be asked to check before check-in; Hong Kong's city center is not only lively, but Tung Chung is also a hidden resort. #HongKong #AirportHotels #ResortHotels #MustStayInTransfer #FamilyFamily #HongKongSilverJourneyGoldenGolden #HotelReview #TravelAdvice

EAST Hong Kong

This Hong Kong trip mainly chose "Hong Kong East Corner" as the stop. The biggest reason is of course to enjoy the convenient lifestyle of Pacific District, while hoping to live comfortably, see a little sea view, and satisfy the small pleasure of sneaking in the city. The hotel is located at 29 Pacific City Road, which is really convenient - a minute from Exit D1 of Pacific City MTR Station, directly connected to Pacific City Mall, you can eat, shop, or even simply buy a daily necessities. If you pursue convenient transportation and livelihood, this is definitely the first choice. In terms of location, next to the east corner of Hong Kong is Pacific City Plaza. We don't need to introduce the big shopping mall. There are already many specialty restaurants and coffee shops downstairs, which is very convenient for brunch or happy hour after work; and several photo-taking hotspots nearby—such as Monster Building (Quarry Bay) and the promenade—can be easily reached on foot, so you don’t have to spend too much time taking pictures. The room is designed in modern minimalist style, the space is more spacious than the average Hong Kong hotel, with direct drinking water, microwave, speakers and other courteous details, especially if you book a sea view room, floor-to-ceiling glass windows can see the view of the Victoria Harbor, the whole city high-rise buildings in view, when the weather is more blue sky and white clouds. There is a gym, rooftop bar to chill, remember to go up to the rooftop at night to see the night view, feel so close to the city bustling. The service is good, the front desk can communicate in Mandarin, the check-in check-out process is smooth, the deposit is returned quickly, and sometimes special occasions (birthdays, upgraded room types) will arrange small gifts and courteous surprises. However, the room soundproofing is average, encountered with children and elderly people next door, there may be a little noise, not serious but not perfect, some customers have suggested strengthening the soundproofing and some design details. The environment and hygiene are ok, the common areas are clean and comfortable, the rooms are clean. If you value the quiet atmosphere, you can choose a higher floor. As a four-star hotel, Dongyu wins in transportation and livelihood circles, with a small amount of sea views, reasonable value for money, whether it is a business trip or a short trip to the city is worth considering. Tip: During the peak season of Hong Kong hotels—holidays and exhibitions, room rates fluctuate greatly. To experience the city view, remember to book a sea view room; it is recommended to take advantage of the convenience of Pacific City Mall during the trip. If necessary, you can book a rooftop bar to see the night view. MTR and Google Maps are the most convenient ways to travel in Hong Kong. The security is good at night, but individual areas should pay attention to the safety of handbags and belongings. #HongKongHotelRecommendations #Pacific CityLife #CitySmallHappiness #SeaviewChoice #ShortTrip
