Climb the stone slab street, see century-old steps coexisting with neon signs; check in at the former police headquarters turned "Tai Kwun" (free exhibitions + red brick complex); turn into Lan Kwai Fong back alleys for a "Hong Kong film vibe" street photo. Noon: Dim sum at Lin Heung Tea House (Central branch) Must order: shrimp dumplings, BBQ pork buns, tripe, egg tarts. Four baskets and a pot of tea for two about 220 HKD (≈210 RMB). In this old tea house, listen to the grandma calling out in Cantonese, "Chicken feet coming—". Afternoon: Victoria Peak overlooking Victoria Harbour Take the Peak Tram (43 HKD/person) up, walk to the Sky Terrace viewing platform (free), or pay 68 HKD for Sky Terrace 428 (360° unobstructed). Descend via Lugard Road trail, a shaded path overlooking Mid-Levels mansions, peaceful and stunning. Evening: Lamma Island Yung Shue Wan night walk From Central Pier 4 take the ferry (25 HKD/person, 30 minutes), rent a bike on the island (50 HKD/hour) or stroll along the coast. Dinner at "Rainbow Seafood Restaurant": salt and pepper mantis shrimp, typhoon shelter crab, steamed grouper, about 180 HKD per person (≈170 RMB), so fresh your fingers will tremble. Day 2: Local Life × Hong Kong Movie Scene Early morning: Lamma Island Hung Shing Yeh Bay beach sunrise Wake early to watch the sunrise (free), white sand and clear sea undisturbed. On the way back, buy "Lamma Island handmade tofu pudding" (25 HKD), silky and sweet, a soul-soothing bite with the sea breeze. Morning: Mong Kok → Yau Ma Tei nostalgic tour Take the subway to Mong Kok, dive into "Goldfish Street," "Sneaker Street," "Flower Market Street," see neon signs densely packed like a movie set; then head to Yau Ma Tei, check out the Temple Street morning market (not the night market version), jade market, Banyan Tree Park, and have a bowl of hot tofu pudding at "Kung Wo Dou Bun Chong" (30 HKD). Noon: Kau Kee Beef Brisket or Mak's Noodle → For rich flavor choose Kau Kee: clear broth beef brisket noodles (128 HKD), beef brisket tender, broth rich; → For refined taste choose Mak's: wonton noodles (110 HKD), springy bamboo noodles, thin translucent wonton skins. Two people sharing one noodle and one drink, about 280 HKD (≈265 RMB). Afternoon: Central PMQ + Lan Fong Yuen finale PMQ is a free creative park, shop for Hong Kong-style canvas bags, vintage postcards; finally at Central's original "Lan Fong Yuen," order a silk stocking milk tea (38 HKD) + pork chop bun (45 HKD), sit on a high stool watching trams ding-ding by outside the window—this is the proper way to say goodbye to Hong Kong. 📝Blogger Tips ✔️Use the "Octopus" app to scan for MTR rides, or buy a physical card on site (50 HKD refundable deposit); ✔️Exchange HKD at Shenzhen border or hotels for better rates than the airport; ✔️Wear comfortable shoes! Many steps, steep slopes, and hopping on/off trams is daily life; ✔️Don’t just focus on "checking in," squat in a cha chaan teng watching uncles wipe tables, listen to grandmas count coins, wait for a slow-brewed milk tea—that’s the heartbeat of Hong Kong. Hong Kong is never a single label: It is the cloud reflections on Central’s glass walls, And the steaming street food stalls in Sham Shui Po; It is the vast wind on Victoria Peak, And the warmth in a bowl of beef brisket noodles. Set off now, for a meeting where fast and slow are just right. 🚋
