Pre-trip preparations** 1. **Documents and endorsements** - Mainland tourists need to apply for the "Mainland Travel Permit for Hong Kong and Macao Residents" and a valid endorsement (G endorsement for individual travel, L endorsement for group travel). Currently, it supports applying in different places, which takes about 7–15 working days and costs CNY 80. - When entering the country, you need to go through the self-service channel, prepare your fingerprint and facial recognition, and fill in the "Customs Passenger Fingertip Service" QR code in advance. 2. **Currency and payment** - Most shopping malls and chain stores support Alipay/WeChat Pay, but it is recommended to exchange a small amount of HKD (HKD 500–1,000 per person) for street snacks, Star Ferry, and other scenarios. The exchange rate at the port is poor, so prioritize making an appointment to exchange at a mainland bank. 3. **Communication and electronic equipment** - SIM card: It is recommended to buy a "MySIM" card after arriving in Hong Kong (HKD 33/month for 50G), which is more cost-effective than international roaming. - Conversion plug: Hong Kong uses British three-pin sockets, so you need to bring a converter or USB charging cable. 4. **Luggage suggestions** - Lightweight backpack, sunscreen, parasol (Hong Kong is hot and humid in summer), and sneakers (high daily walking volume). Hotels do not provide toothpaste and toothbrushes, so you need to bring your own. --- ### **II. Transportation** 1. **Airport to city** - **Airport Express**: Direct to Central in 24 minutes, fare is about HKD 115, suitable for tourists with limited time. - **Bus/Taxi**: A-line buses cover major areas and are affordable; taxi fares are higher (red/blue/green cars correspond to different areas). 2. **City transportation** - **Subway**: Covers the entire city. It is recommended to use Alipay "Travel" to scan the code or purchase an Octopus card (HKD 150 including deposit, refundable). - **Featured transportation**: Star Ferry (HKD 4), Ding Ding Tram (HKD 2.3) are suitable for experiencing the city's charm. - **Transportation ticket options**: - **One-day pass** (HKD 65): Suitable for frequent subway rides within 24 hours, but Airport Express and Lo Wu Station are not available. - **Airport Express Tourist Pass** (HKD 250–350): Includes one-way/round-trip Airport Express and 3-day subway pass. --- ### **III. Accommodation recommendations** - **Luxury hotels**: Tsim Sha Tsui (Peninsula Hotel), Central (Mandarin Oriental), etc., are adjacent to shopping areas and attractions. - **Budget hotels**: Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei are cost-effective, and "Hong Kong Mong Kok Vejune Hotel" is recommended. - **Avoidance tips**: Avoid choosing Chungking Mansions and unlicensed hostels, especially for female tourists. --- ### **IV. Must-see attractions and itinerary suggestions** 1. **Classic route (5 days and 4 nights)** - **Day 1**: Victoria Harbour night view + Star Ferry + Peak Tram (best for night view). - **Day 2**: Disneyland (fireworks show is a must-see) or Ocean Park (animal show + amusement facilities). - **Day 3**: Mong Kok street snacks + Tsim Sha Tsui shopping (Harbour City, K11). - **Day 4**: Cheung Chau Island (seafood + beach) or Lamma Island hike. - **Day 5**: Central historical district (PMQ) + Lan Kwai Fong nightlife. 2. **Niche experience** - **Sai Wan Swimming Shed**: Holy place for sunset photography. - **Shek O Village**: Colorful huts and beaches, the filming location of "King of Comedy." - **Temple Street Night Market**: Affordable night market, feel the atmosphere of Hong Kong movies. --- ### **V. Food recommendations** - **Must-eat in tea restaurants**: Silk stocking milk tea, pineapple bun, wonton noodles (recommended "Mak's Noodle"). - **Street snacks**: Curry fish balls, egg waffles, bowl pudding (Mong Kok Fa Yuen Street). - **Seafood and roasted meat**: Typhoon shelter fried crab (Lei Yue Mun), Yung Kee Restaurant roast goose. - **Dessert shop**: Yee Shun Dairy Company (double-layered milk custard), Kai Kai Dessert (sesame paste). --- ### **VI.

#爬山 For this hike, I recommend Tiger Mountain in Tai O. 💞Recommendation reason: Tiger Mountain is dozens of meters high and very easy to climb to the top, but it has a magnificent sea view and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, and is also a great place to watch the sunset. 🚌Departure route: The route starts from Tung Chung. I took bus No. 11 and easily arrived at Tai O. Then I went to the Hong Kong Shaolin Martial Arts Cultural Center and walked along the approximately 1.3-kilometer trail. This trail is simple and easy to follow, with stunning sea views and red trails that are great for checking in, and even novices can complete it easily. 💯💯💯 During the climb, in addition to enjoying the scenery along the way, you can also see the planes slowly taking off and landing from the airport. This unique landscape is one of a kind. 📸🔥 After reaching the top, you can enjoy the sea view while waiting for the sun to slowly set, and then enjoy the beautiful sunset. There is a red railing extending a hundred meters next to the Hushan Observation Deck, which is a popular check-in spot. 🩷 ❕Tips: Before heading to Tiger Mountain, you can first climb the stairs on the left side of the Shaolin Wushu Cultural Center. The initial section of the trail will be slightly shaded by trees, and after about 10 to 15 minutes of walking, you will reach well-paved steps. When you see the red railing, it means you are close to the top and almost reaching the summit! #SunsetCheck-inPosition #Check-in #100TravelWays #HongKongGoodPlaces #TigerShan #TaiO

When you mention Tiger Mountain, you will definitely think of #red photo railing. I wonder if you know that the railing has been replaced with coffee ☕️ color ... this time to share with you the beautiful photos of the past ~ ~ As for the hiking route is simple and easy to walk can Tai O eat enough to start except at the beginning to a breath up the narrower stairs other than basically flat road / wide stone steps 📍Tai O Tiger Mountain Skywalk Access: Take bus No. 11 from Tung Chung to Tai O and get off #throwback #Hong Kong Hiking Route #Tai O Hiking #TigerMountain #ParentHolidayGood #ParentHike #ParentBlogger #SpringGood Places2024

I have been to Tai O so many times, but this is my first time to climb Tiger Hill! We started to prepare to climb Tiger Hill at about 4:30pm and enjoy the sunset at the Tiger Hill Observation Deck! The weather was great that day, with clear skies, so the chances of seeing a salted egg yolk sunset were high! Follow the signs to the canteen of Shaolin Martial Arts Culture Center. Starting from here, there is a road next to it that leads to the Tiger Mountain Observation Deck. It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the canteen of Shaolin Martial Arts Culture Center to the stairs leading to Tiger Mountain! Climb up the red fence stairs on the mountain trail and you will soon see the Chinese White Dolphin Statue. From the statue you can already see the beautiful salted egg yolk sunset! We walked along the red fence, admiring the sunset while looking for the best place to take a photo with the salted egg yolk sunset. We didn’t have to walk too far, just the right distance to watch the sunset. Another day was about to pass! It was very lively at the elevation column of Tiger Mountain, 75 meters above sea level, with many people watching the sunset there. It became particularly quiet after sunset! Personally, I find watching the sunset very healing. It’s like summing up the end of the day, and I feel like I can have a good rest! After watching the sunset, we returned the same way. The sunset that day was quite charming, and there was a new moon to accompany it! #good places in hong kong #local tour #good places in the suburbs #tai o #tai o tour #good places in tai o #tiger mountain #tai o tiger mountain #good places for hiking in hong kong ##hiking routes in hong kong #hiking in hong kong

When visiting Tai O, you must take time to visit the Tiger Hill Observation Deck, where you can see the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge. The pink railings are also very photogenic, and you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to Jeju Island in a second. It takes about 20 minutes to get there from Tai O Fishing Village, and only ten minutes to climb the mountain, which is not particularly tiring, and the cobblestone road is very easy to walk on. If you are lucky, you can see the lucky pink dolphins at three or four o'clock in the afternoon.

#springitinerary Fu Shan Viewing Point is that lowkey gem you don’t hear about much, but once you find it, you’ll wanna keep it your little secret. The hike up is short but kinda steep, so bring some water and comfy kicks. Once you’re up there?

Located in Tai O, the Tiger Hill Observation Deck takes just a 10-minute walk to the mountain to see the unbeatable sea view. If you go to Tai O, you can take a little time to check in 😊

Take bus 11 from Tung Chung and you will enter Tai O in about 45 minutes. The weather is gray and foggy today. Otherwise, I could have taken a boat out to see the Chinese white dolphins. However, when I entered Tai O, it was already dark, so I didn't go out to sea. I chose to go up the mountain. Tiger Hill in Tai O, 10 minutes walk up, overlooks the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge. Continue along the red fence and quickly descend the mountain in 30 minutes, perfect for hikers and visitors alike. Most of the mountain path is stairs, so it’s easy. 

It is very convenient to walk from Tai O to Tiger Hill Observation Deck in 10 minutes.

It is a great place for a family, couple, or friend to go out. Starting from Tai O, it takes about 10 minutes to climb the mountain. You can enjoy the beautiful scenery. The weather was very good that day, so it was a great place to take photos. #Hong Kong Good Places #Tai O
