Best Things to Do in Hong Kong: Top Tourist Attractions and Places to Visit for Sightseeing

---

1. Ride the Longest Escalator in the World

Rest your weary feet from Hong Kong’s hilly streets and get a lift on the longest outdoor escalator in the world. The Central Mid-Levels is a 2624 foot bucket list worthy ride that links the Central and Western districts on Hong Kong Island, with many shops and dining stops along the way. Not only is it a top tourist attraction, but it is very practical too!

---

2. Shop At The Temple Street Night Market

The Temple Street Night Market, located in Kowloon, is not only the largest evening market in Hong Kong, it is also the liveliest. It is a popular spot for shopping, housing stalls for cheap clothing, shoes, CDs and DVDs, and even household items. On top of that, there are countless of food stalls to get your tummy filled with yummy from.

---

3. Party In Lan Kwai Fong

Lan Kwai Fong is the nightlife district of Hong Kong. It has reached such levels of hotness as a party zone, that other Chinese cities are trying to follow in its footsteps to recreate neighborhoods with the same charm. You can expect yourself having to squeeze through the crowded street of party goers of the night, but for once that’s part of the fun! You can find several types of bars in the area, from dart bars to karaoke bars, as well as clubs, and a selection of restaurants. There are over 90 restaurants and bars!

---

4. Ride on a Traditional Chinese Junk Boat

Taking a Hong Kong junk boat ride will give you the second best skyline view (go to The Peak to see the top one!), but this view is just an after thought compared to the junk boat ride itself. Aqua Luna features a traditional junk boat ride through Victoria Harbour that also coincides with the cities famous light show, the Symphony of Lights.

It is recommended to prebook your spot. Voyagin offers a simple junk boat ride where you can get stunning views of HK’s skyline on the Aqua Luna or opt for the Symphony of Lights tour where you can see the famous, colorful light show while sipping a cocktail on the boat.

---

5. Visit 10,000 Buddhas Monastery

Located in Po Fook Hill Mountains of the New Territories area, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery is quite the sight to see. You will have to hike up a pretty steep hill to get there, but your efforts will be rewarded with a complex that consists of a main temple hall and a nine-story pagoda, as well as several shrines, pavilions and halls. There are still plenty of stairs to walk up once you’ve reached the beginning of the complex, but you’ll be far too enamored by the Buddha statues all over you to sweat about it.

---

6. See the Hong Kong Stars

If you take a junk boat ride, arrive at the port a little early to see the Hong Kong stars. The Avenue of the Stars is a tribute to the famous in Hong Kong’s film industry and is on almost every Things to do in Hong Kong list. It is a stroll along the water that would be reminiscent to the Hollywood Walk of Fame, except I would recognize ninety percent of the stars in Hollywood and only two in Hong Kong; Bruce Lee and Jackie Chen. Good enough.

---

7. Hike Dragon’s Back

Dragon’s Back is a trail that TIME magazine even went as far as to dub as Asia’s best urban hike. It’s a part of a bigger trail, serving as its most visually stunning portion. You’ll want to check the weather report before embarking on your trekking journey, as it can increase its difficulty and decrease its enjoyableness, but otherwise it is not that challenging of a hike and the views are breathtaking.

If you are not comfortable navigating the Dragons Back hike on your own, this tour will take you there.

---

8. Eat Snake Soup

In the Causeway Bay section of Hong Kong you will find Se Wong Yee, the tiniest eatery, with the menu out front completely written in Chinese, except for the significant bold lettering stating the sale of Snake Soup, an Asian delicacy. There were two options on the menu; just the plain old Snake Soup or the Snake Meal which includes the of duck’s liver-sausage.

You can read about my experience eating snake soup here: Chinese Snake Soup in Hong Kong

---

9. See the Songbirds at Yuen Po Street

Visiting the Yuen Po Bird Garden will offer you an exquisite chance to see some songbirds. This garden is designed similar to a traditional Chinese garden, and inside you’ll find several stalls selling not only exotic birds, but also bamboo cages and other items related to birds. Even if you’re not going to make any purchases, it’s incredible to be able to witness a part of this traditional hobby.

---

10. The Breathtaking View at The Peak

Though the view of the city skyline from the junk boat on Victoria Harbour is pretty spectacular, there is nothing like the one from the Sky Terrace at The Peak. It is the highest 360-degree viewing terrace in town and requires a steep tram ride along with several floors of escalators to get to the top.

---

11. Go to the Ladies Market

If you want to hit one of the most popular markets in Hong Kong for bargain-priced clothing and other accessories, visiting Ladies Market is where the money’s at. As you may have guessed based on the name, it largely caters for women in what they have to sell and offer. However, it is not exclusively for the ladies only, as they also sell some clothing and other items for men as well. Located in the Mongkok district of Kowloon, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by just how local and authentic the atmosphere will be, despite the tourist crowds.

---

12. Climb to the Top of Big Buddha

Even though there are 268 pretty steep stairs to reach Tian Tan (aka: Big Buddha), it is one of the top things to do in Hong Kong because it is breathtaking. The statue is one of the largest sitting Buddhas in the world! At 112 feet tall, Hong Kong’s Big Buddha is perfectly visible from the ground level, but it is hard to tell its true massiveness without getting up close and personal.

If you book the escape to Lantau Island tour it will take you to Big Buddha via the Ngong Ping 360 cable car and then will bring you to Tai O Fishing Village afterwards.

---

13. Ride the Star Ferry

Fancy a boat ride on your trip? Then this small, cute and charming boat is a must for you! Operating since the end of 19th century, the Star Ferry will take you from Hong Kong Island to Kowloon, or vice versa. It is not only a picturesque way to travel between the two points, it is also practical and convenient.

---

14. Ride in a Cable Car

Before actually climbing the stairs to Hong Kong’s Big Buddha you have to get to its location on Lantau Island and there aren’t many options. You can take a bus, make a strenuous hike uphill or ride the 3.5 mile Npong Ping Cable Car that suspends you high above the ground. Not like the typical street cable cars you’d find in San Francisco.

---

15. Walk the Tsim Sha Tsui East Promenade

From the Tsim Sha Tsui East Promenade you’ll get another stunning view of the Hong Kong skyline, which has also been dubbed one of the most amazing skylines in the world. That’s already plenty of reason to take a stroll on the promenade, but if you need some additional convincing, this is also where the Garden of Stars, Hong Kong Cultural Centre, and Hong Kong Space Museum reside in.

---

16. Eat Street Food at a Fishing Village

On the Western side of Lantau Island lies the quaint Tai O fishing village where the homes are built on stilts and the markets sell a plethora of dried fish street food. Though there are dozens of fishy dishes to choose from I  tried a meal of BBQ squid jerky, for just 10 HKD ($1.29 usd).

There are several great tours that include a stop at Tai O (and some other places on this list!):

• Explore Tai O Fishing Village, its Temples & Streetlife
• Escape to Lantau Island: Big Buddha & Tai O Fishing Village

---

17. Go To Disneyland

Though the Hong Kong Disneyland may be slightly smaller than some other Disneyland resorts, it is by no means any less fun. In fact, it’ll probably be one of the most fun day trips you’ll take while in Hong Kong! In addition, as the Chinese version of Disneyland, you’ll also notice some parts of Chinese culture and traditions, as well as the incorporation of feng shui, in the design and build of the resort, which just makes your visit there all the more memorable.

---

18. Make an Incense Wish at a Po Lin Monastery

In Hong Kong, as well as much of Asia, burning incense is done by worshippers as an offering with the belief that it attracts attention from the Gods or, in some cases, is food for the spirits that have passed prior. When we visited the Man Mo Temple a layer of smoke filled the room and coiled incense hung from the ceiling. Though you can make incense wishes here, we followed a different cloud of smoke to Po Lin Monastery where worshippers were waving their enormous joss sticks. We purchased a bundle of incense at a nearby booth for 20 HKD ($2.50 USD) and made wishes of our own.

The Escape to Lantau Island tour includes a stop here.

---

19. Visit Aberdeen Fishing Village

Found at Aberdeen Harbour of Hong Kong’s Southern District, the Aberdeen Fishing Village is an actual village where people, mostly fishermen and their families live in. Originally these boats were chosen as their living spots for the sake of convenience, but over the decades it has grown into a significant symbol of Hong Kong and its culture, especially among the citizens themselves, seen as a representative of the locals’ hardworking and persevering spirit. It has also been said that Aberdeen is where the name Hong Kong was born, although there is not one consistent theory of how that came to be.

---

20. Get Your Fortune Told

After you have done your shopping at the Temple Street Market, pay a visit to the late night fortune tellers near Tin Hau Temple. There are about a dozen, some English speaking, that will enlighten you about the future.

---

21. Eat at the Cheapest Michelin Starred Restaurant in the World

Tim Ho Wan is a hole-in-the-wall dim sum restaurant in Hong Kong that gained recognition after receiving a coveted Michelin star and therefore what is known as one of the cheapest Michelin starred restaurants in the world. And it is cheap. Really cheap. Though they are well known for their pork buns, all their food is quite tasty.

---

22. Stroll Through the Goldfish Market

The Goldfish Market is a quirky line of shops that cater to the locals and their Feng Shui lifestyle. Aquariums equal good luck in the Asian culture, fish symbolize good fortune and water attracts energy of wealth and abundance. This market is devoted to selling an array of interesting fish and their accessories. Even if you won’t be shoving an aquarium in your carry-on luggage, it is worthy of a spot on the things to do in Hong Kong list.

---

23. Hike Tung Ping Chau

Tung Ping Chau is an island in the easternmost part of Hong Kong that is listed as a UNESCO Global Geopark. It is known for its unique sedimentary rock formations, sandstones that are millions of years old.

Head to the Happy Valley Racecourse for the uber trendy Happy Wednesdays. On this weekday evening the racecourse has great food, drinks and entertainment, all while being able to bet on the ponies. Each Wednesday is a different theme, such as Wines of the Valley. Could that be any more perfect?

---

26. Eat Dinner in the Dark

At Hong Kong’s Dialogue in the Dark you have the opportunity to take a culinary journey where blind waiters serve a meal in complete darkness. This unique attraction is the perfect way to challenge your taste buds!

---

27. Drink Trendy Cocktails

As previously mentioned, Hong Kong has some killer food concepts, and the same goes for drinks. Quinary is a swanky place for pre-dinner cocktails where they concoct creative beverages like an Earl Grey Caviar Martini. I had their refreshing Oolong Tea Collins.

---

28. A Symphony of Lights

A Symphony of Lights is a laser light and multimedia show in Hong Kong. The show is synchronized with music and has been recognized by Guinness World Records as the “largest permanent light and sound show in the world.”  The show was first launched in 2004 to symbolize Hong Kong’s dynamic energy and culture, and has since become a popular tourist attraction with millions of people watching each year.

The spectacular display consists of more than 42 buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour, including Hong Kong Island’s skyline and Kowloon’s skyline. The best part is that the show is free to watch!

The warm climate and clear waters make them a popular destination for swimming, fishing, and boating.

The Bank of China Tower is one of Hong Kong’s most iconic skyscrapers. Completed in 1990, it is 1,205.4 feet tall and has 72 floors (+4 basement floors), making it the fourth tallest building in Hong Kong. The tower once featured an observation deck on the 43rd floor (closed since 2014) that offered views of the city and its surrounding area.

The tower’s design caused quite the stir among the Feng Shui community, noting the negative symbolism of its knife-like design when viewed at certain angles. Still, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city (especially at night!) and a unique and impressive example of modern architecture.

---

31. See the Blue House

The Blue House is a historic building located in the Wang Chai district of Hong Kong. Built in the early 20th century, it is one of the oldest surviving structures in the city.

34. Take an Epic Pic at the Monster Building

Hong Kong has plenty of scenic sites, but this one is so unique, it earned a spot as one of the most Instagrammable places in the city. It is called the Monster Building, a group of five connected apartment buildings built in the 1960s. With over 18 floors and 2243 (colorful) units packed closely together, it is definitely worthy of its local name, especially at night while looking up surrounded by the units.

However, since these are residential units, one should still respect the residents’ privacy (like asking for permission to take photos). Visitors can ‘tour’ the buildings through the courtyard on the ground floor (which is also home to several shops).
