I just spent 2 weeks here and had the time of my life 🎉 1️⃣1️⃣ Ride the Peak Tram to Victoria Peak & hike down – Taking the Peak Tram is a classic Hong Kong experience. 🚋 Running since 1888, it’s one of the world’s oldest funicular railways! 🌆 Tip: take the tram up, then hike down via the Lugard Road Trail for quieter, equally stunning views. 1️⃣2️⃣ Try Bakehouse’s famous sourdough egg tarts – Flaky, buttery, and legendary. A local fave you have to try. 🥧 @bakehousehk 1️⃣3️⃣ Stroll Pottinger Street – Known as “Stone Slab Street,” it’s one of HK’s most photogenic old streets. 📸 1️⃣4️⃣ Explore Causeway Bay – HK’s busiest district, often compared to Times Square. 🛍️ Endless shopping, street food, neon lights, and a nice waterfront promenade and marina. 1️⃣5️⃣ Visit Sham Shui Po Electronics Market – Hunt for vintage gadgets + second-hand digital cameras at bargain prices. 💾📷 1️⃣6️⃣ Catch sunset at the Central & Western District Promenade (Sheung Wan section) – Peaceful waterfront vibes away from the crowds. 🌅 1️⃣7️⃣ Day trip to Macao – Just an hour away by ferry or bus. 🇲🇴 It’s known as the Vegas of Asia. Casinos, colonial streets, Portuguese egg tarts, and UNESCO sites like the Ruins of St. Paul’s. Bonus: the free panda pavilion 🐼. 1️⃣8️⃣ Do a food tour – The best way to dive into HK cuisine. 🍜 I booked mine through Get Your Guide (my go-to for food tours when traveling). @getyourguide (🔗 in bio ⬆️) 1️⃣9️⃣ Ride the Mid-Levels Escalators – The longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. Perfect for skipping HK’s steep hills. 🛗 2️⃣0️⃣ Explore Hong Kong’s cocktail scene. HK has some of the BEST cocktail bars in the world including Bar Leone @barleonehk – Voted #1 cocktail bar in Asia. The Old Man was amazing too! @th
