Not just Yau Tsim Mong, get to know a different Hong Kong in three days and two nights
Summer vacation is here, and many people are preparing to visit Hong Kong
I searched for a lot of travel guides, but they only cover the Yau Tsim Mong area
But there are really many unique places in Hong Kong
This time I specifically visited some niche and treasured Hong Kong attractions
Not only is the scenery especially beautiful, but the culture is also uniquely distinctive

📖Detailed travel guide
1️⃣Lantau Island Big Bus (Sunset Ride)
The Big Bus, same as in 'Flower Less', is a double-decker open-top sightseeing bus. You must take the 5:30 pm ride, when it passes the airport maintenance area, it instantly turns into a sunset ride, very healing.
🎫: Ngong Ping 360
💰: 120 HKD
🚌: Wait next to Ngong Ping Cable Car Station
2️⃣Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car🚡
Take the panoramic cable car directly to Lantau Island, after getting off the cable car you'll find Ngong Ping Market, where you can take photos with Doraemon and Tiger. Passing through the market, you'll reach Po Lin Monastery and Tian Tan Buddha. Tian Tan Buddha is the world's second tallest outdoor bronze Buddha, you must see it with your own eyes, it's spectacular.
🎫: Get on at Ngong Ping 360, it's recommended to choose the Tai O pass
🚡: Standard, crystal, and panoramic cabins available
💰: Round trip from 264 HKD
⏱️: Recommended visit 1-2h
3️⃣Tai O Fishing Village
A river with stilt houses built along both sides, supported by just a few poles, very characteristic. These colorful stilt houses, one after another, form a different Hong Kong fishing village. You can take a boat here and experience a different feeling of the fishing village from the river.
🎫: None
🚌: Take bus 21 from Ngong Ping Market to the end at Tai O
🚢: Boarding at Tai O Fishing Village, next to the blue bridge
4️⃣Lower Cheung Sha Village
This is a niche and free beach with few people, the sand is very fine, and there are many crabs to catch. There are a few Western restaurants by the beach, you can have lunch there, remember to bring some cash💰, as most do not support online payments.
🚌: From the bus station next to Tung Chung MTR station, find bus 11 or 23 to Lower Cheung Sha Village, ring the bell to get off, you can take the bus with a QR code.
5️⃣Citygate
There are many department stores here, before leaving Hong Kong, shop here, locals often come to visit too.
🚇: Tung Chung Station
6️⃣Tung Chung Sheraton
Close to the airport and Hong Kong Disneyland, I chose a sea view room which is very cost-effective, with an amazing view. There is a shuttle bus to Tung Chung MTR station every half hour, and you can 🆓store luggage.
