    Take Exit C1 at Admiralty and transfer right to bus 6/6x/260. It takes about half an hour to get to Repulse Bay. The right side of the second floor of the bus offers a magnificent sea view.

    If you prefer a quieter amusement park with lesser crowd versus Disneyland, Ocean Park is the place for you. Waiting time for each ride is below 10 mins. There are many scenic spots to take photos. Don’t miss the shows as they are the highlights of the park.

    Yichuang Building This is the Monster Building, a popular check-in spot in Hong Kong. It is located in Quarry Bay and is a unique landmark in Hong Kong. The building consists of five buildings, with densely packed windows and staggered corridors, forming a "monster" shape with great visual impact. Standing downstairs and shooting upward, the picture is super shocking, and you can make a blockbuster movie in minutes. This place is full of strong market atmosphere, and there are many delicious food shops around. In the evening, the warm yellow lights are on, adding to the mysterious atmosphere. 🌟

    It's still worth going. The queue time is not long. The aquarium is my favorite. Don't buy too much food in the park. For example, the fried chicken is not thawed enough, and the fried chicken is not fried enough. It is hot on the outside, but it is cold inside. I threw it away. The cable car feels better than the train. I recommend taking it. The facilities and equipment are a bit old. The project we played was stopped for maintenance twice.

    Golden Bauhinia Square, actually referring to the Golden Bauhinia Square in Hong Kong, is an iconic landmark of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, located on the artificial island of the new wing of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center in Wan Chai District. The following is some detailed information about Golden Bauhinia Square: • Historical background: • Golden Bauhinia Square was unveiled on July 1, 1997, commemorating the important historical moment of the transfer of Hong Kong from British sovereignty to Chinese sovereignty, symbolizing the end of more than 150 years of British colonial rule and the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR). • Main landscape: • In the center of the square stands a 6-meter-high bronze statue of the Golden Bauhinia named "Forever Blooming Bauhinia", donated by the Central Government of China, implying that Hong Kong will always be prosperous. • In one corner of the square stands the 20-meter-high Hong Kong Return Monument, which echoes the Golden Bauhinia bronze statue. • Flag-raising ceremony: • A flag-raising ceremony is held at 8 a.m. and a flag-lowering ceremony is held at 6 p.m. every day at Golden Bauhinia Square. Every year on July 1, the anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and October 1, China's National Day, a grand flag-raising ceremony is held here. • Opening hours and tickets: • Golden Bauhinia Square is open 24 hours a day and is free to visit. • Geographical location: • The square is surrounded by Victoria Harbour on three sides. It is located in the center of Victoria Harbour and faces Tsim Sha Tsui on the opposite bank. It is a good place for viewing. • Transportation guide: • The nearest subway station is Wan Chai Station, which is within walking distance. There are also many bus and tram lines in the area, which is convenient for access from all over Hong Kong. Golden Bauhinia Square is not only a symbol of political change, but also a place for cultural ceremonies every day, attracting many local residents and tourists.

    Victoria Harbour, located between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, stretches from Lei Yue Mun in the east to Tsing Yi Island in the west. It is a natural deep-water harbor, ranking among the world's three largest natural harbors. Victoria Harbour boasts important facilities such as the Kwai Chung Container Terminal, and its Star Ferry route has been listed by National Geographic as one of the "50 Places to See Before You Die."

    Yes I think all tourist should visit the peak. It gives a view of the Hong Kong skyline. Good for photo ops. We went in the evening and winter time so it got dark pretty quick and coming from the tropics, it was cold but only at 15c. Madame Tussauds is up at the Peak too.

    The scenery along the Avenue of Stars is picturesque, especially the night view, which is even more beautiful and dreamlike under the neon lights. You can press your palm on the handprint of your favorite star and experience a taste of being a star!

    In fact, I prefer the other K11. Although it is newly opened, the types of stores are a bit scattered. There is Legoland downstairs, but the ticket price is not cheap. There is an afternoon tea restaurant with beautiful dishes. You can sit by the window and take pictures of the sea view. The price is about 400. You can try it with two or three people. There are also some stores selling trendy brands, but they are a bit expensive. If you go to Victoria Harbour, you can go here, but I think Harbour City is better than here.
