When you come to Hong Kong, the one thing you absolutely cannot miss is hiking, hiking, and more hiking! Having seen Victoria Harbour, walked along the Avenue of Stars, and experienced the Star Ferry, after a round of beautiful shopping at Chongqing Mansion, Rainbow, Kennedy Town...what else can you do after checking in? That is constantly hiking! Hiking in Hong Kong is really convenient because almost all routes have direct public transportation, so there's no need to drive. And the routes are well-established, with good mobile signal, so there's no need to worry about getting lost or other issues. On your first trip to Hong Kong, the one thing you can't miss is Victoria Peak! You can walk from Victoria Peak to West Dangshan to watch the sunset, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful! A beginner-friendly route, Longji is very beautiful. You can hike to Dalang Bay and take a walk on the beach, watching the locals surf 🏄. Put on comfortable sports shoes, bring a water bottle, and go for a walk in the mountains!

Tsim Sha Tsui's Avenue of Stars has also been renovated. Three years later, coming back for the first time, the sunset is really beautiful. The skyscrapers on the opposite bank are particularly dazzling as the lights come on. Boats shuttle back and forth on the busy waters of Victoria Harbour. Every minute, every second, every frame is like a painting. · K11 Muses, Bell Tower, and Tianxing Ferry are nearby. You can check in together~ The beautiful things in the world are all free, such as the sunset 🌇. •

One of my favourite places to go for a walk is at The Avenue of Stars in TST, Hong Kong. You can capture beautiful views of the Hong Kong skyline at both day and night. In the daytime I like to capture the Star Ferry in front of the skyline (image 2) and also capture people enjoying the view (image 6) At night sometimes I bring a tripod to do long exposure photos of the boats going past (image 1) this helps to capture really cool light trails in front the skyline. Be sure to walk all the way down past the Rosewood Hotel and K11 musea to experience all the different perspectives on offer. Be sure to check out Ink bar as well - I often go there for a beer and food when I’m enjoying my shoot! #photospots #derryainsworth #Hongkong #avenueofstars

This is definitely one of the famous and popular tourist destinations in Hong Kong. It's a long stretch that runs along Victoria Harbour, giving you a wonderful view of the Hong Kong skyline across the harbor and of shopping malls, museums and hotels on the other. You'll also see metal handprints of famous Chinese stars here. At night, you can catch a glimpse of the amazing "Symphony of Lights" where the skyscrapers on Hong Kong Island simultaneously turn on their lights and make them dance to the sound of a music. There is also a statue of Bruce Lee, Anita Mui and McDull which is neat. It becomes a bit of a treasure hunt looking for the plaques. All of this is in addition to the beautiful view while strolling along the waterfront. Combine this with a trip on the star ferry and it is a great afternoon, particularly if the weather is nice If you’re curious to know who’s who, each plaque has a QR code so you can scan it for more information. Of the four bronze sculptures, the most famous is Bruce Lee – recognizable to everyone, surely. Standing on an elevated water feature, he strikes his classic martial arts pose. It fits in nicely with Bruce’s famous quote, “Be water my friend. Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water” Over all, being here left me dazzled. I really had fun.

If you've ever sought nostalgia in Hong Kong movies and music, lingering among the skyscrapers and the bustling streets, then this guide is sure to bring you joy. Hong Kong, as a city, can generally be divided into three main areas: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. For visitors, the bustling, neon-lit Hong Kong often depicted in movies and songs is mostly found in Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, which are the focus of our itinerary this time. You might not have expected that, almost 20 years on, every lyric still easily resonates in your heart, and the imprint of Hong Kong music may be deeper than you and I imagine. In Mong Kok, you can get lost among the neon lights, or find familiar shadows of Hong Kong movies on the billboards in the alleys. Due to safety hazards during typhoons, many neon signs have been taken down in the city. However, a considerable number of these signs are still preserved in Mong Kok and Central. When night falls, strolling these streets feels like stepping into a movie set. If you want to experience authentic Hong Kong style and follow the traces of Hong Kong movies, you can start your journey in Kowloon. The area around Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei has been the backdrop for many classic Hong Kong films such as 'As Tears Go By', 'Young and Dangerous', 'Chungking Express', and many other crime thrillers. Many tourists in Hong Kong like to check in at subway station names and even get off at each station to take photos in order to complete a collection for their social media grids. Although I really don't understand the appeal, the Chinese bloodline awakens with the thought - since we're here... On Nathan Road, you can see many people and cars, and if you're a music fan, you certainly shouldn't miss the chance to take a photo. Nathan Road is a long street with many places to visit near Tsim Sha Tsui, and you will pass by this street name multiple times. The Sino Centre mentioned in the lyrics 'once through Sino and the downpour pours' is also nearby, and you might as well check it out. If you are very familiar with the lyrics of 'Next Stop, Tin Hau', then you must know that many place names appear in the lyrics, and most of them are around Causeway Bay: the next station, to Tin Hau, of course, the best - MTR Tin Hau Station; the loving couples on Paterson Street, with a look of pride - Paterson Street; at Times Square, everyone always has a prize - Times Square. The view of Victoria Harbour is something every visitor to Hong Kong looks forward to. Here, you can see towering buildings in front of you: Bank of China Tower, HSBC Building, International Finance Centre, Convention and Exhibition Centre... These iconic buildings form the steel forest of the city. This scene has not only become a postcard of Hong Kong but also the cover image of Hong Kong's tourism promotional materials. Hong Kong cinema has had a profound impact on Asian culture and even holds a place in the international film industry. Modeled after Hollywood's Walk of Fame, Hong Kong's Avenue of Stars was created to honor outstanding figures in the Hong Kong film industry. Walking along the waterfront, you can see commemorative plaques with the names or handprints of distinguished film workers, including famous film entrepreneurs, directors, producers, and actors. Every film fan will treasure these names. On the last day, I recommend you take a tour of Hong Kong Island. Kennedy Town is at the westernmost edge of Hong Kong Island, surrounded by the sea. Besides being a popular new leisure spot, it is also the starting point of the tram. More and more tourists choose to stroll here before boarding the tram for a 'tram ride river'. The Central Market building does not house any royal or noble relics, nor does it contain any magnificent architectural artworks. It was destined to be privatized and remodeled in Hong Kong's wave of efficiency and innovation. However, this old building with over 80 years of history is filled with the stories, memories, and emotions of ordinary people. Central Market has been preserved through several renovations, thanks to the concerted efforts of the government and citizens. In the efforts to conserve and revitalize old buildings, it has transformed into its current form. Now, it is a public space that combines dining, cultural and creative industries, and markets, like a playground for everyone.

Hong Kong is suitable for shooting the Victoria Harbour and Central cityscape. You can choose to shoot at the Avenue of Stars and East Coast Park. ❤Recommended reasons: ✅Avenue of Stars, this is the best shooting position directly facing Victoria Harbour and the high-rise buildings in Central, whether it's day or night. The Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, Bank of China Tower, the tallest building in Hong Kong, the International Commerce Centre, and the Peak behind it are all in sight. Of course, the Avenue of Stars itself is also exciting enough. Under the guidance of the Golden Statue Award sculpture, almost all famous Hong Kong actors and directors have left precious signatures and palm prints on the railings of Victoria Harbour Bay, so it is called "Avenue of Stars", where tourists who come to Hong Kong can chase stars at the closest distance, find their idols, join hands, take a photo with Victoria Harbour as the background, which is really meaningful! ✅Compared with the Avenue of Stars, there are very few tourists in East Coast Park, especially the sculpture lighthouse that goes deep into the water surface, which makes the shooting less complicated foreground, and it is also a good choice for shooting Victoria Harbour. The entire city is reflected in the clear water and blue sky, the speedboat breaks the water surface, stirs up a line of white waves, this moment, this scene, is too beautiful. 🌟Highlights: After walking through the Avenue of Stars, the end point at the south is the pier of the Star Ferry, the oldest transportation tool in Hong Kong's history. The Star Ferry has been responsible for transporting and communicating between the two sides of Victoria Harbour for a century, and together with the still operating Hong Kong tram and the Peak Tram, it formed the world-leading urban transportation network of that year. The Star Ferry is still the cheapest cross-harbour transportation tool today, so I also bought a 6-dollar ferry ticket, drifted across Central to go shopping, the red and blue color of the boat I was on was really good-looking, it matched with Hong Kong's blue sky and white clouds, and it looked good in photos.

It's taking a photo with McDull📷 Hahahaha~ McDull's paw print is easy to find It's on the Avenue of Stars near Starbucks You'll find it when you see a big bronze statue of McDull! If you come out from inside K11 musea and walk towards the Avenue of Stars McDull is in the direction of the door🫲, don't go the wrong way
