An obvious one, but a must-see all the same. Victoria Peak provides views of one of the world's most famous skylines. Get there via the Peak Tram for the ultimate experience, provided you can take the queue. If you need to eat or drink while at the top, The Peak Galleria is there to satisfy your needs.
The iconic/infamous Tsim Sha Tsui landmark is home to many ethnic minorities, asylum seekers and backpackers travelling in and out of Hong Kong. Though it used to have a certain reputation for being an especially dodgy area, it has since evolved into a hub for decent food, particularly for South Asian and African cuisine, and for budget accommodation. The mall inside the building complex is a good spot to grab cheap electronics and phone cards.
A 25-minute ride of pure visual beauty that takes in panoramic views of Lantau Island, earning it a spot in the top 10 list of the world's best cable car rides.
A quiet gem in ever-busy Mong Kok, Yuen Po Street, aka Bird Street, is decorated in the form of a traditional Chinese garden. Admired for its traditional décor and the delightful chirps of its many songbirds, the area is a blissful escape from the surrounding concrete jungle.
Name's a bit of a giveaway here but doesn't quite tell the whole story. With over 100 stalls selling everything from cheap clothes and accessories to souvenirs, the ladies market is a treat for not just the fairer sex.
From the best cheap eats and free shows to the best spots for water sports, you don’t have to drop more than $100 to enjoy these awesome affairs.
