2024 Hong Kong Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in November)
Known for being a world-class center of business, culture, and trade, Hong Kong is a jewel in the orient with international flairs. Its iconic skyline, dynamic food scene and multicultural influences attract over 65 million tourists each year. For many, Hong Kong is also a starting point for visiting China and the rest of Asia.Officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong is located on the south coast of China, neighboring Guangzhou Province. It is made up of Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, and the New Territories (including more than 250 outlying islands). Ranked as the 8th most densely populated city in the world, Hong Kong’s population is made up of mainly Chinese residents. But it is also an international hub of commerce where English and Cantonese are the official languages.Hong Kong wouldn’t be what it is today without its complex past. Though it has existed for thousands of years, in as little as 100 years, Hong Kong went through dramatic transformations from a fishing community in China to a British colony to an international trade center, and eventually back to being part of China again.Like its dense population, Hong Kong has also packed in a tremendous amount of attractions. For example, you can visit one of the city's oldest temples, Man Mo Temple; ride on the Peak Tram for a bird’s eye view of Victoria Harbor; or immerse yourself in the electric atmosphere of Temple Street Night Market. Beyond the urban hustle and bustle, there’s a serene side to Hong Kong. Chill out on the beach in the Sai Kung East Country Park, enjoy a challenging hike on Lantau island’s many trekking trails, or do a little wildlife spotting in Plover Cove Country Park.The most common way to reach Hong Kong is by air. The Hong Kong International Airport has connecting flights to all major domestic and international cities. Visitors can easily find transfer options into different parts of HK, such as taxis, Airport Express trains, and buses. Some hotels offer transfer options too, so it is better to check in advance. Getting around town is also simple and convenient. Visitors can easily reach top attractions by using the extensive and affordable MRT, bus and tram systems.

Ocean Park in Hong Kong
Certainly! Here's a brief introduction to Ocean Park in Hong Kong:
Ocean Park Hong Kong is a renowned marine-themed park located on the southern side of Hong Kong Island. Established in 1977, it has since become one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, offering a unique blend of entertainment, education, and conservation.
Spread across 91.5 hectares, the park is divided into two main areas: The Summit and The Waterfront. The Summit, accessible via the iconic Cable Car, offers thrilling rides, animal exhibits, and stunning ocean views. The Waterfront, located at the park's entrance, is home to more family-friendly attractions, including the Grand Aquarium and the Adventure Land.
One of the park's highlights is the Ocean Express, a kid-friendly roller coaster that takes visitors on a simulated journey through the ocean's depths. The park is also committed to wildlife conservation and operates one of the world's largest aquariums, housing a diverse array of marine life.
In addition to its thrilling rides and educational exhibits, Ocean Park hosts various events throughout the year, including Halloween and Christmas celebrations, making it a dynamic destination for visitors of all ages. With its commitment to sustainability and its focus on providing memorable experiences, Ocean Park continues to be a cherished part of Hong Kong's cultural landscape.
Hong Kong's First Large-Scale Fresh Seafood Hotpot Buffet
My boss took me to eat seafood. We haven't been to the Taikoo Shing mall for a long time, and it has really changed a lot. The fresh seafood just opened yesterday, and my boss said it's a great deal. We had to try it right away while they are offering discounts. 😁
Fresh Seafood Hotpot Buffet
Lunch 12:00-16:00 · All-you-can-eat for 4 hours $248
Dinner after 17:00 · All-you-can-eat for 2 hours $268 and up
We came in the evening, and there were quite a few people. The place is spacious and looks very clean. No need to wait for a table. Right at the entrance, there's fresh seafood. The shrimps are all jumping and very fresh. The abalone sticks tightly and can still move when picked up. There are also super fresh oysters. 🦪
More than 10 types of fresh seafood to choose from. Besides the self-service area, you can order over 40 types of meat, snacks, skewers, durian, and more via QR code.
It's so easy to get your money's worth. At this price, there's no need to go all the way to mainland China for seafood. 😆

🏖️Environment/Facilities: The airport is well-equipped with comprehensive facilities
Due to travel, I visited Hong Kong International Airport again. The facilities are very complete, and the efficiency is top-notch, reaching international standards. It is one of the best airports. Most passengers in the airport are in a hurry, but if time permits, you can arrive early and take a stroll around the airport. Besides numerous well-known brand stores and restaurants, you can also relax in the airport lounges or visit several observation decks to watch the planes take off and land multiple times. The experience is quite enjoyable.
The Longest Cable Car in Hong Kong and the Giant Buddha Attraction
Giant Buddha in Hong Kong
📍 Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car
Ngong Ping Village, which you can reach after a 20-minute cable car ride, is a wonderful place with a giant bronze Buddha.
You can capture the stairs leading to the Buddha and the magnificent Buddha itself in one frame. For those who want to experience a relaxed and tranquil atmosphere, unlike the bustling and noisy city center of Hong Kong, this is a great place to visit.
The most worth visiting seaside park in the New Territories.
Tai Po Waterfront Park is located northeast of Tai Po Market Station. It was completed and opened in 1997, covering an area of about 22 hectares, making it the largest park in Hong Kong. The main facilities include a 1,200-meter-long waterfront promenade, a Reunification Monument, a viewing platform, an open-air theater, a lawn bowling green, a jogging track, an insect house, a natural ecological garden, a Western-style garden, a model boat pool, a kite flying area, and a cycling path. The Reunification Monument in the park was built to commemorate the return of Hong Kong. During the day, you can climb to the top via the spiral staircase to enjoy the waterfront scenery of Tai Po. Here, you can enjoy flowers, take photos, fly kites, observe insects (in the insect house), play with electric boats, blow bubbles, stroll through the camellia garden, making it an ideal place for picnics and walks.

Fall in love with the blue hour at Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong.
In the blue hour of Hong Kong, I am willing to engrave its endless romance in my heart, becoming an eternal memory.
The charm of Hong Kong lies in the fact that every scene can touch your heartstrings—
Whether it is the modern skyscrapers,
The 360-degree magnificent sea view,
Or the alleys full of life hidden behind the prosperity,
Every encounter is a surprise to the soul.
Pick up the camera, and every inch of Hong Kong seems to whisper,
Inviting me to capture and record the city's hundreds of romantic styles.
Use the delicate texture of Fujifilm to capture the vivid moments of this city.
Recommended photo spots:
- **Central Ferris Wheel**:
Stand at Pier 9/10, and the panoramic view is in full view, as if you are in a movie, extremely romantic.
- **Fujifilm Ice Cream Truck under the Ferris Wheel**:
Take a photo with this retro ice cream truck, no need for too much retouching, the texture of the blockbuster is immediately presented, full of retro style.
- **Central Market**:
Turn around and look at the modern high-rise buildings behind you, and the street style of Hong Kong in the 1990s leaps in front of you, as if traveling through time and space.
- **Victoria Harbour**:
This is the best place to enjoy the sea view. When night falls, the lights come on, and the cruise ships shuttle between them. The blue tone of the day and the brilliance of the night complement each other, each with its own merits.
Photography tips:
1. Near dusk, turn on the flash to shoot, and the blue tone effect will be immediately presented, which is stunningly beautiful.
2. Choose warm-colored lights as the background, which contrasts sharply with the blue, adding a sense of layering to the picture.
3. The blue hour is short, remember to prepare lighting equipment in advance, so as not to miss this rare romantic moment.

Tsim Sha Tsui Atmosphere Music Bar: Enjoy Brunch and High-Quality Coffee.
I used to frequent this music restaurant when it was located in Tai Kok Tsui. Now that it's opened in Tsim Sha Tsui's K11, it's even more convenient, so I had to check it out. The restaurant features DJ sessions or live music performances from Thursday to Sunday nights, perfect for music lovers.
Although we visited during lunchtime and there was no live music, the restaurant's ambiance was still very comfortable, making it ideal for a quiet date or a gathering with friends. Their Brunch & Lunch menu is very affordable, offering a main course of your choice along with soup or salad, and you can also add appetizers and desserts.
Lost Star All Day Breakfast $138
The all-day breakfast is very hearty, featuring a choice of one main dish out of four options, along with compressed caviar milk scrambled eggs, baked apples, roasted potatoes, English baked beans, garden salad, French creamy baked potatoes, and a mini croissant. We chose the slow-cooked American chicken breast, which was tender and rich in protein. The scrambled eggs were also very creamy and smooth.
Grilled New Zealand Ribeye (8oz) $188
We also ordered the ribeye steak, which was flavorful and tender, with a juicy pink center that wasn't overdone. The side dishes included roasted pumpkin and sweet potatoes.
Buffalo Wings (3 pieces) +$38
We added Buffalo wings, and the sauce was deliciously spicy.
Matcha Affogato +$38
Of course, we had to try the dessert. The Matcha Affogato was beautifully presented, featuring rich matcha paired with vanilla ice cream, offering a sweet and slightly bitter taste.
Mocha $52
My friend ordered a mocha, which came in a beautiful cup. The coffee was rich and smooth with a delightful chocolate flavor.

Big Wave Bay Beach
#wellnesstravel
Big Wave Bay is the perfect end to the Dragon’s Back hike or a standalone beach day destination. Known for its surfing scene, the beach offers a laid-back vibe, clear waters, and scenic cliffs. But if you don’t feel like hiking, and want to maximise rest time on the beautiful white sand, you can take a bus directly there!
Travel tip: Rent a surfboard from the nearby shops if you’re feeling adventurous, or just enjoy lounging on the sandy shores. It’s less crowded than other beaches in Hong Kong, making it ideal for a relaxing escape. There are a few local eateries where you can grab a snack or a cold drink after your day in the sun.

A healthy and delicious choice, each plate comes with six pieces. The thin and chewy rice paper wraps avocado, carrot 🥕, daikon, cucumber 🥒, and purple cabbage. While it might taste a bit dry on its own, dipping it in the accompanying mango sauce brings out a refreshing and sweet flavor 😋.

My Fave Dragon’s Back Hike
#travelgram
Located in Hong Kong, Dragon’s Back is one of the most scenic hikes in the region. The trail winds through lush green hills and offers breathtaking views of the South China Sea, Shek O Beach, and the surrounding islands. It’s a moderately easy hike, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts of all skill levels. Travel tip: Start your hike early in the morning to avoid the midday heat and catch the sunrise over the hills.
