Admire Hong Kong from above
A unique way to approach the Victoria Peak experience is to join in a trip via the Peak Tram which was established in 1988 and soak in the incredible and panoramic views of Hong Kong from The Sky Terrace 428. Known as the tallest 360-degree viewing platform in Hong Kong, it's an idyllic and scenic landmark that you need to visit once.
Traveling across Victoria Harbor by Star Ferry
After exploring Tsim Sha Tsui for the whole day, why not take the Star Ferry to continue your journey in Central Hong Kong and get some seriously jaw-dropping views of the Kowloon city skyline? It costs less than 1 USD for the crossing, which takes around just 10 minutes. You can walk freely on the ferry and get some fantastic photographs of Hong Kong along the way.
Having your future told in Temple Street
While fortune-telling in the Western world is done by a crystal ball and tarot, the Chinese way is palm reading and face reading. The Chinese believe that a person’s character and future are determined from birth, and fates can be told by reading lines on hands and features. Head down to Temple Street to get your destiny read by the soothsayers there, who often have parrots handy as side-kicks, or maybe a turtle.
Shopping in Tsim Sha Shui
There’s no better shopping in Hong Kong than in Kowloon. Tsim Sha Tsui to the south has the type of wide and never-ending avenues that you’d expect to find in Manhattan. All the luxury designer brands can be found here, as well as many high street retailers including a new H&M flagship store. The main shopping street is Nathan Road. If you prefer to shop with everything under one air-conditioned roof, then there are also some large shopping malls such as Habour City.
Taste signature dish Dim sum
No Hong Kong experience is complete without a dim sum meal. Traditionally served in bamboo steamers, these small plates are designed to be shared, allowing you to taste a bit of everything. Must-orders include steamd siu mai (pork dumplings), har gow (prawn dumplings) and the fluffy barbecued pork-filled buns known as char siu bao.
