Weekend 2-day tour in Hong Kong | Citywalk under the black storm
I would like to advise you all to check the weather before you travel! I unexpectedly encountered a rare black rain in Hong Kong. Adhering to the principle of 'since I'm here, I might as well make the most of it', I opened my umbrella and started my citywalk. Due to the black rain, work and school were suspended, shops were closed, garbage was everywhere, and the subway was flooded. However, I have to say that Hong Kong is really photogenic. Despite all this, I still managed to capture the strong Hong Kong style.

✔️Mong Kok: The streets and pedestrian bridges here are very suitable for Hong Kong style street photography, the strong local flavor is like stepping into a Wong Kar-wai film, but be reminded that many shops on Goldfish Street do not allow photography, so avoid them.
✔️Yau Ma Tei: Walking along Nathan Road from Mong Kok, you will reach Yau Ma Tei. The bus stops along the way are very photogenic. As a fan of TVB, I definitely won't miss the chance to check in at Yau Ma Tei Police Station. I also stumbled upon Temple Street not far from the police station, where I took a tourist photo that I really like in the middle of the street market.
✔️Victoria Harbour: How can you miss the night view of Victoria Harbour when you come to Hong Kong? The Avenue of Stars is really the best place to see the night view. Walking along, passing the Star Ferry Pier, you will arrive at Harbour City, where you can end the day's itinerary with some shopping.
✔️Tsim Sha Tsui: The viewing platform near the Clock Tower, the steps at the entrance of Harbour City, and the Eslite Bookstore on the 2nd floor of Harbour City are all excellent spots for shooting Victoria Harbour. By the way, don't forget to take a photo at the successful person's photo spot in Victoria Harbour.
✔️Star Ferry: The pier is very photogenic, the dark green waiting area is super retro, and it only takes a few minutes to get from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central, super convenient.
✔️Central: There are many attractions worth checking in along the way, and there are arcades or pedestrian bridges all the way, so even if it rains heavily, it won't affect the citywalk. Ferris Wheel - Central Market - Mid-levels Escalator - Tai Kwun - Art Centre, you can walk along this route.
✔️Monster Building: The dense buildings combined with the retro tram, every shot is a big shot, unfortunately it rained too heavily that day, and I didn't make it.
This is the area where you can stroll along Nathan Road to enjoy high end shopping, visit peaceful Kowloon Park and walk along the Avenue of Stars to view the majestic HK skyline.

The Avenue of Stars has a very good handprint for the star. It was very interesting to draw it in the past. The opposite scenery is beautiful. Many people take cameras to take pictures. There are more foreigners. At the end, it is the Star Ferry. It costs 5 yuan to do the opposite. Feel Victoria.
