    We were going to move up to the Peak using the tram. The direction from Google was to take a Star Ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui and then to take bus 15C. When we crossed over to Central Pier, there were no bus 15C so we just took Bus 15 that took us to the top of Victoria Peak and went through areas like Wan Chai etc. Great for us as visitors here in Hong Kong as we were "kind of" a tour bus but yet using their public transport which was so convenient and reasonably priced. Amazing view at the top and we were blown away by how many condominiums located on the hill side of the peak, even a hospital, Police Museum, school, huge shopping centre etc. It is a community living at the Victoria Peak! It is not just a tourist hill side visit! Incredible! Highly recommended bus trip (No 15 to the Peak from Central Pier) for new visitors to get an insight of life in Hong Kong!

    Eventhough the area is bit larger than USS Singapore, I feel here is smaller just because the too crowded the people, start after lunch time.
    Coming here at 10am and we got special lane, since we were stay in Disneyland hotel, this is important, because you can save 30 mins if regular lane.
    Strong advice if you are tourist, you buy VVIP ticket for special lane for 8 riding, you will save a lot of time compared to regular lane for each riding.

    Lunch time need to 1 hour advance, or you will be stuck in every restaurant in Disney park.

    Waiting for Christmas tree show was absorbing our energy since we need to waiting 45 mins before start.
    As well as, we were waiting for fire work show at 9.30pm.

    Actually, for the show, are not too interesting. Also not too many characters surrounding in the park, so we cannot the photo, just a few of characters which are not special one.

    If you stay in Disneyland hotel, you will feel comfortable since no need have long trip from the park to get a rest after whole day walked for 20,000 steps.

    Email me if there is anything you want to know.

    I think enough for 1 time come here, since feel boring and not too special atmosphere.

    My visit there was actually very quick but satisfying. I boarded the cable car going there quite late at 4pm so I had only 45 minutes to really see the beauty of the buddha. Although I decided not to climb up the stairs due to the lack of time, I was able to look and observe closely from afar the magnificence of the statue. The atmosphere was serene, windy and calm and I like the tranquility that it gave me at the time. I am sure that I'd be much more immersed if I had more time to go up and see the buddha's face right in front of me. With the monastery nearby, I could see monks walking by. What's more, it was also the time when GO PANDA was stationed there so I was hitting many birds in one stone. It was a golden day, a golden experience!

    The Star Ferry ride in Hong Kong was a lovely escape from the bustling city. The gentle sway of the boat on the harbor, combined with the scenic views, made it a peaceful and enjoyable experience. It’s a relaxing way to take in the sights of the city.

    I visited the park solo, and while the place was massive and the cable car rides were fun, I couldn’t help but feel a bit let down. The park wasn’t crowded, which made it easy to explore, but honestly, it felt really outdated. I think t’s clear the park is in serious need of a renovation...

    The experience was great, and I saw many things. However, it is best to come early since there will be a long line for the cable car to descend (at least 30 minutes). Despite this, the staff is very attentive and kind, and they even handed out food, warm water, and heating pads for free since it was winter.

    I had the opportunity to revisit Nan Lian Garden in Diamond Hill, Hong Kong, 13 years after my first visit, and it remains a truly captivating experience. This Chinese classical garden, designed in the Tang dynasty style, continues to offer a peaceful retreat from the city's hustle and bustle.

    Spanning 3.5 hectares, the garden is beautifully landscaped with hills, water features, and a stunning collection of Asian pine trees and rocks. The pine trees, symbolizing dignity and bravery, lend a scholarly ambiance to the surroundings, capturing the essence of Chinese culture.

    The garden is easily accessible via public transportation—simply take the MTR to Diamond Hill Station and exit at C2. Open daily from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., and with free admission, it’s an inviting destination for all.

    Adjacent to the garden, the Chi Lin Nunnery is a must-visit. The complex features beautiful lily ponds in various colors—pink, purple, white, and yellow—that add a vibrant touch to the serene surroundings, enhancing the garden's natural beauty.

    I am particularly impressed with all the Buddha statues here. They look peaceful, calm, and graciously stunning. The beauty of these statues is that when you look at them, you feel peace, calmness, and serenity. Having seen many temples throughout Asia (Japan, China, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, etc.), I personally find the expressions of these Buddha statues in Vietnam and China to be gracious and calming, unlike those from Thailand, which I find somewhat unsettling and scary. On a side note, Westerners and American-born Asians are often accustomed to wearing shorts and sleeveless tank tops while traveling. Please note that although Hong Kong is very much influenced by British culture, Buddhist temples are places of worship, and thus, shorts, hats, and sleeveless tank tops are not allowed.

    The garden also offers rock and bonsai exhibits that should not be missed. These exhibits showcase the meticulous care and artistry involved in traditional Chinese gardening practices.

    Returning to Nan Lian Garden after so many years was a rewarding experience. It is a timeless sanctuary that continues to offer tranquility and beauty in the heart of Hong Kong. Whether you're visiting for the first time or returning, as I did, it's a place that leaves a lasting impression.

    Our first night in Hong Kong we took a short night cruise to see the "Symphony of Lights." Our boat left the pier about 7:20 and the light show was at 8:00. We were on board the "Dreamer." It was very reasonably priced. We were promised unlimited drinks and snacks, which for us turned out to be a bowl with some mixed nuts to share and a coca-cola. Which was fine. The harbor is beautiful and the light show very fun. Very "Hong Kong" - unlike anywhere else in the world.

    I come to Hong Kong many times and each time, I always try and go to Lantau Island. A tranquil escape from Hong Kong. This is a good option if you are in transit and have some time to kill, as it is close to the airport. The cable car is the best way to reach Lantau Island. Easily accessible from Tung Chung MTR. Lantau Island has a lot to offer from beaches to hiking trails, nature and more. There is also the historic Tai O fishing village which is like stepping back in time. You can get around the island by bus. If you are short on time, then I would suggest doing the highlights which is the Tian Tan Buddha statue and Po Lin Monastery. Always go early if you can, as it is quieter in the morning and you can do more.

    Great way to have an authentic Chinese tram experience, which has been running for decades. You enter the team at the rear, through the turnstile. You pay when you get off, at the card reader next to the driver at the front.

    The best way would be to use Octopus and the cost is just around 35p ish per trip.

    We travelled from our Ibis hotel in Sheung Wan to Causeway bay, to go shopping one evening. We sat upstairs at the front, please see the attached pictures, it was a great way to travel and to see the lit up city at night!

    I think you have to experience everything Hong Kong has to offer and this to me is a no brainer especially as it costs almost nothing!

    We enjoyed both the Chi Lin Nunnery and the adjoining Nan Lian Garden very much. The Nunnery was easy to reach from the metro and entrance was free. The Nunnery and the Garden are basically across the street from each other, but make sure to visit both. The buildings and statues at the Nunnery are very interesting, but I think I liked the Garden even better. (The picture that Trip Advisor uses for the Nunnery is actually part of the Nan Lian Garden, lol.)

    Our accommodation in Chatham Road was the ideal base to re-explore the area. So vibrant with great shopping venues, hotels, restaurants, landmarks and the myriad of small shops that are so seductive for visitors like us. Its even better at night with the colourful neon signage but the streets are more crowded, it seemed to us that most of Hong Kone dines in the many dining establishments. Wonderful interesting area, one of many in Hong Kong.

    We booked our tickets online a few days before. When we arrived, there was a long queue for those wishing to purchase tickets, but we virtually just went left through the doors and got in line to get on the tram. Piece of advice if you can get to the front or near front of the line so you can pick your spot to sit. Some will hog seats for themselves if you allow them to. The tram itself is very clean but crowded, but its a ride worth taking. Great views on a clear day.
    There was a number of shops and restaurants at the top. But also a lot were closed in the concourse and levels going up to the viewing platform.

    Its a waste if you don't buy a ticket for the viewing platform, as it’s quite difficult to find a good view over the bay without visiting the viewing platform.

    There are scores of tourists around so I recommend going straight to the viewing platform first to try and get clear shots of the bay and high rise buildings. It can be pretty hot on the platform as no shade.

    We then walked the entire Peak Trail which was wonderful, some of the views as you go along the harbour were better than being on the viewing platform. The trees are lovely for shade and there were a couple fo drinking fountains if you forgot your water bottle.

    Highly recommend the tram ride, platform viewing and walking the Peak trail.
