Hong Kong Tourism

For foreigners, Hong Kong is like a hybrid gem, always surprising you with unexpected surprises. You might just be wandering through the glass-walled streets of Central, only to find yourself in a traditional tea restaurant wafting the aroma of curry, with an old man at the door greeting customers in a fluent mix of Cantonese and English. In the evening, take the Star Ferry, its retro green and white hull gliding across Victoria Harbour. To your left, the ICC building shimmers with lights, while to your right, you can spot a woman in a Tang suit feeding seagulls from the bow. This wondrous blend of past and present, East and West, is something only Hong Kong can offer.



The convenience here is exceptionally traveler-friendly.

Even the Star Ferry turnstiles accept Octopus. English is perfectly acceptable here.

For breakfast, you can nibble on the crispy, soft pineapple buns at a century-old ice cream parlor, enjoy afternoon tea at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and finally, sip on the freshly fried Typhoon Shelter crab at a stall on Temple Street late at night. From street vendors to fine dining restaurants, every bite is like opening a blind box. Don't forget to try Lan Fong Yuen's silk stocking milk tea, which is bitter yet tinged with caramel. Paired with French toast, you'll instantly understand why Hong Kong people consider cha chaan teng a second home.
