The metropolis has many attractions to offer that make this trip priceless. The view of the city from Victoria Peak, a visit to the surrounding, remote beaches or an adventurous visit to Disneyland make every trip an unforgettable adventure. In the Kowloon region is the "Avenue of Stars", the cultural center with museums, theaters and concert halls. The 484 meter high International Commerce Center is also worth a visit. The "Sky 100" viewing platform offers an incredible view over Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Wetland Park nature reserve stands in stark contrast to the modern metropolis and proves how multifaceted tourism in Hong Kong can be.

The most densely populated areas are the Kowloon Peninsula and the north of Hong Kong Island, which are separated by the narrow Victoria Harbor. The New Territories include the original hinterland north of Kowloon, which makes up the largest area of Hong Kong, and most of Hong Kong's 263 islands. The largest island in Hong Kong is Lantau Island, which is also near Hong Kong International Airport on Chek Lap Kok Island.

Tour Tips:

Lantau Island, cable car and Tian Tan Buddah statue

Tip from Manu G.
It is worth taking the 5.7 km long cable car over the mountains with a spectacular view (including the airport) to Ngong Ping to the giant Tian Tan Buddah statue and the Buddhist monastery.
Arrival by MTR to Tung Chung, Exit B, 5 min. to the Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal, where you can buy the cable car tickets (HKD 210 return, booth Mar'18) and start your journey. There are also the so-called Crystal Cabins, which have a more or less transparent plexiglass floor (for an extra charge). The waiting times (at least on weekends) are shorter for this.
By the way, you can also walk down in about 90 minutes (with sturdy shoes). The route is well signposted and the view is fantastic. There are also other hiking trails starting from the Buddha statue.
Admission to the monastery + ascent to the statue is free, open 10 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. The extremely tourist facilities in Ngong Ping, Po LIN Monastery, Wisdom Path + Tian Tan Buddah Statue, resemble an amusement park and are constantly being expanded. Most of the products that can be found in various Ngong Pings shops can be found at the Temple Street night market for less than half the asking price. The vegetarian restaurant in the temple complex offers a small selection of dishes with an average price-performance ratio at best.
Because of the spectacular view during the cable car ride and the Citygate Outlet Center on the way, the cable car tour to Ngong Ping is still recommended.
Because of the long waiting time at the ticket counter, it is worth buying tickets the day before on the Internet (e.g. www.klook.com) or getting there as early as possible.
You can take the ferry to the island from Central Ferry Pier 6 (MTR HKG Exit E1 + walk through ifc times), ferry to Mui Wo (approx. 55 min. Travel time, Fast Ferry approx. 35 min. Travel time), then bus 2 (the It is better to get there with the MTR, as the bus from Mui Wo doesn’t run often).

Kowloon Peak Trail

Tip from Peter B.
The Kowloon Peak Trail can be reached in about 40 minutes by metro. Various hikes are possible from here.
The hike to Suicide Cliff is highly recommended. There are breathtaking views over the whole of Hong Kong that Victoria Peak cannot keep up with.
Metro: brown line to City One, Exit D.
Difficulty: moderate
Length: 10km
GPS an advantage
Don't forget your hiking boots

Mong Kok Flower Market

Tip from Anja R.
The Mong Kok Flower Market is also very popular with locals with countless stalls for cut flowers, potted and outdoor plants, aromatic plants, bonsai, orchids and some rarities. Every hobby gardener and plant lover has a heart open here ...
The market on Flower Market Road can be reached within 5 minutes from the Prince Edward MTR stop (green line).

Splendid China Park

Tip from Claudia M.
About 30 taximin. (approx. EUR 4) from the border crossing, exhibits well-made miniatures of Chinese sights and shows folklore performances of the individual tribes with singing, dancing, equestrian games + two shows with a lot of participants, entrance fee CNY 120 yuan, Hong Fa temple + Fairylake Botanical Garden, lots of nature, well suited for hiking + a visit to the first Great Temple in China, newly built after the Cultural Revolution, a pretty, spacious area, approx. 30 minutes by taxi. away from the border crossing.
A tip: have the hotel staff write down the place names in Chinese; In Shenzhen, almost no taxi driver speaks English

Lamma Island

Tip from Robert H.
The almost car-free island is about 30 minutes from Hong Kong and is easy to get around on foot or by bike. A visit to the only organic herb garden in Hong Kong, Herboland, is recommended, where the owner will be happy to give tips on alternative and healthy nutrition over a fresh cup of organic herbal tea and to supply the appropriate organic herbs (of course, for a fee). Herboland is close to Hung Shing Ye Beach. All year round, the warm water of the beaches around Lamma Island invites you to swim, and you will find the best fish restaurants in Hong Kong on Lamma Island. You should definitely try the fresh chilli crabs, garlic prawns, fried squid or steamed fish with ginger and spring onions. For ferry information see lamma.com.hk, take the ferry to Yung Shue Wan (closer to Herboland) or Sok Kwu Wan from Pier 4 (Central, MTR Hong Kong Station Exit E1, then through the IFC Mall).
The Rainbow Restaurant operates a ferry to Lamma (Sok Kwu Wan) that runs on a regular schedule from Queen's Pier. The outward and return journey is free, provided you have a reservation for the meal and you will also eat there
