Hong Kong in my eyes is free and romantic, carefree and unrestrained

📸 Photo tips: Lugard Road Lookout is free with excellent views, capturing the golden angle of Victoria Harbour’s panorama. - Take the Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour to feel the romantic sea breeze on your face. - Ascend Victoria Peak to overlook the magnificent panorama where the "concrete jungle" meets the blue sea; the night view is acclaimed as one of the "world’s top three nightscapes." 🍴 Must-try foods: Street classics: curry fish balls, pineapple buns, wonton noodles (the golden ratio of 70% shrimp to 30% pork). - High-end experience: creative fusion dishes at Michelin-starred restaurants, such as Tim Ho Wan’s crispy BBQ pork buns and Lung King Heen’s Cantonese dim sum. Late-night culture: Temple Street Night Market dai pai dong stalls, enjoy a bowl of the "Naza noodles" featured in the movie "God of Cookery," and soak in the bustling local atmosphere. “The Central escalator carries footsteps in suits, yet around the corner, neon signs of old ice cafes appear. This is Wong Kar-wai’s ‘Chungking Express,’ the city in Eileen Chang’s writing, where old and new intertwine, and every step tells a story.” 📌 In-depth experiences: Artistic route: stroll along Hollywood Road Antique Street, explore designer workshops at PMQ, and capture Hong Kong-style art in front of street graffiti walls. Historical marks: the Hong Kong Museum of History traces the transformation from fishing village to international metropolis, and the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower witnesses a century of change. 👜 Shopping guide: High-end malls: Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, Times Square in Causeway Bay, home to international brands; shopping during the winter and summer sale seasons (June–September, November–January) is more cost-effective. Specialty markets: Ladies’ Market in Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po electronics market, hunt for local handmade crafts and affordable trendy clothes, and enjoy the fun of bargaining. Recommended outlying islands: - Lamma Island: hike the Family Trail, savor seafood in Sok Kwu Wan, and meet relaxed expatriate islanders in Banyan Bay cafes. Cheung Chau: a blend of fishing village charm and the traditional Tai Ping Ching Chiu Bun Festival; rent a bike to circle the island and experience the fresh vibe of the "Hong Kong Kamakura." ✨ Travel tips · efficient and warm city details Transport: Octopus card for seamless travel on MTR, buses, and ferries; Airport Express reaches Central in 24 minutes, with check-in services freeing your hands. Regulations: smoking and eating are prohibited in public places with heavy fines for violations; always carry your ID. Services: look for “Quality Tourism Services” certified merchants for transparent pricing and peace of mind. “Hong Kong’s fast pace is the tram flashing past neon lights; its slow pace is the leisure of tea and dim sum in a teahouse. Here lies the brilliance of the ‘Pearl of the Orient’ and the tranquility of outlying fishing villages. Come to Hong Kong and live an endless urban dream.” 🌃✨
