A 4-day, 3-night retro journey on foot through Hong Kong

Hong Kong is truly what I consider to be an excellent destination for short trips of 3-4 days. Having undergone the turning of the wheels of time, the blend of old and new cultures gives this city a kaleidoscope of colors. Whether it's the Hong Kong films in my memory or the Cantopop music, they all inspire endless longing and daydreams. I love Hong Kong, I love traveling, and this time, after a three-year hiatus, I set foot on a Hong Kong journey again, walking 30,000 steps each day, traversing my 'playlist' and my 'movie list'. . 🎡 Itinerary DAY1️⃣: Arrive in Hong Kong in the morning—Sai Ying Pun—Kennedy Town—Take the tram—Monster Building in Quarry Bay DAY2️⃣: Check in at MTR stations (Mong Kok-Yau Ma Tei)—Nathan Road—Yau Ma Tei Police Station—Neon signs on Bowring Street in Mong Kok DAY3️⃣: Central Market—Tsim Sha Tsui—Avenue of Stars in Victoria Harbour—Central Ferris Wheel—Take the cable car to Victoria Peak to enjoy the night view . 🎡 Attractions ☑️ Kennedy Town: Fulfill your romantic fantasies of the harbor, enjoy a cup of coffee in the sea breeze and quietly wait for the sunset, and you can also take the tram here for a different scenic tour ☑️ Mong Kok: The street scenes of Mong Kok really transport you back to the 80s and 90s in an instant, every snapshot is retro Hong Kong style. The neon signs on Bowring Street are classic elements of the golden age of movies, standing under the signs captures the bizarre and dazzling scenes from Wong Kar-wai's films ☑️ Victoria Harbour: Stroll along the Avenue of Stars, check in with the handprints and statues of celebrities, sit by the sea at dusk waiting for the sunset, and as night falls and the lights come on, the night view of Victoria Harbour gradually becomes dreamy and romantic ☑️ Central: Visit the Central Market to check in at the filming location of the movie 'Nameless', take a ride on the dreamy Ferris wheel for just 20 Hong Kong dollars, and try the classic ice cream from the Richman's ice cream cart ☑️ Nathan Road: The streets lined with tall buildings, the retro trams and taxis shuttle on the streets, making for a great photo backdrop ☑️ Victoria Peak: Take the cable car to the top of Victoria Peak at night to overlook the night view of the entire harbor . 🎡 Some very useful tips 1️⃣ Transportation: Use Alipay/WeChat directly, open the ride code and switch the city to Hong Kong, then you can take the MTR, note that only the purple gate can be used (other transportation such as trams, buses, taxis require an Octopus card or cash) 2️⃣ Accommodation: It is recommended to stay in Kowloon or Hong Kong Island for convenience in sightseeing and food hunting 3️⃣ Hong Kong's temperature is quite stuffy and hot, be sure to do well in sun protection and heat avoidance when traveling in summer 4️⃣ Hong Kong uses British three-pin plugs, remember to bring a converter 5️⃣ Remember to activate additional data before departure 6️⃣ Many old-fashioned restaurants, food stalls, and snack shops in Hong Kong still only accept cash, remember to prepare more Hong Kong dollars
