More Must-Do’s in Hong Kong

Explore a park

Take an escalator from Pacific Place mall up to an unexpected oasis.ย Hong Kong Parkย contains fountains, an aviary and a childrenโ€™s playground. Or escape Causeway Bayโ€™s crowds atย Victoria Park, where going early will get you a glimpse of local Tai Chi groups. Playground spaces and a rock park keep kids entertained. Meanwhile, Hong Kong Zoological & Botanical Garden offers the chance to watch monkeys up close for free.

More: Parks, playgrounds and outdoor centres for the kids

Hang out at the beach!

Hong Kong has too many beaches to count, but all provide just what you need for an enjoyable day out without burning through the cash. Repulse Bay is a must-visit for its accessible and expansive arc of sand. Big Wave Bay is another popular one, attracting surfers to its decent break. And camping bays at Pui O allows you to wake to the sound of rolling waves.

More:ย Top Hong Kong beaches

See the light show

The cityโ€™s iconic skyline takes on a new glow as buildings each side of the harbour beam lights across the water. Theย Symphony of Lightsย spectacle takes place every night at 8pm. Head down to the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront for the best view and marvel at Hong Kong Islandโ€™s skyline at night.

Take in a temple

For a free thing to do thatโ€™s instantly transporting, nothing beats a visit to a temple; and Hong Kong has plenty! Weโ€™ve already mentioned Wong Tai Sin, but another great temple to see is Man Mo on Hollywood Road. This atmospheric building is one of Hong Kongโ€™s oldest temples, and is dedicated to the god of literature.

More:ย Must-see temples and places of worship in Hong Kong

Roam a rooftop

IFC Mallโ€™sย landscaped rooftop provides one of the cityโ€™s few free public seating spots, making it perfect if you bring a coffee and book or plan a city picnic with the kids. The sight of ferries chugging across the harbour never gets old.

Eye some artworks

Galleries along Hollywood Road are an ideal first stop for browsing artworks, but you can also head to theย JCCACย artist colonyย in Shek Kip Mei, where about 140 artists have studios. Itโ€™s open from 10am to 10pm daily and is perfect for those who are looking for a Hong Kong attraction that is free and has a cultural flavour.

Mosey around a market

The vibrant street markets have a lively, bustling energy and provide great people watching, as customers haggle with stallholders. Of course, the cost of this outing will rise if you start buying things! There are also speciality markets such as the fish, bird and flower markets.

Must do in Hong Kong- street markets

Hike in nature

About three quarters of Hong Kongโ€™s land space is Country Park, so getting into green space is surprisingly easy. Centralโ€™s Morning Trail is a great first introduction. The paved stroll takes you up to The Galleria at the top of the Peak, with gorgeous city views to boot.

More:ย Family-friendly hikes in Hong Kong

Chase a waterfall

Why not tie your hike in with a visit to a waterfall? Hong Kong has its fair share, including the famous Brideโ€™s Pool in Plover Cove Country Park, which has a fascinating backstory (follow the link below to discover it!). Some waterfalls here are easily accessible; others require a decent trek to get to. If itโ€™s warm enough, there are some superb swimming opportunities to.

Hop on a Tram

Jump aboard at Western Market and view the city with new eyes as the tram trundles through Wan Chai and Causeway Bay. It’s just HK$2.30 to experience this piece of iconic local culture.

5 steps for a stylish Christmas, courtesy of Hong Kong-based home furnishing retailer @indigo_living ๐ŸŽ„
 
#1 Decide on a Theme:
Every momentous Christmas feast begins with a stunning table-scape. Whether youโ€™re going for the classic red and green pairing or a contemporary setting, pick a theme that you can go all out with! 
 
#2 Organise Your Linen:
Generally speaking, a crisp white linen table-runner will do. But if youโ€™re looking to up the ante this year, go for one with subtle prints on it. 
 
#3 Choose a Centrepiece:
 A beautiful Christmas centrepiece is the fastest way to add cheer to your party. Itโ€™s also a great excuse to show off your creative flair to friends and family. 
 
#4 Invest in a Good Set of Tableware:
When it comes to tableware, most people play it safe with crystal glasses and porcelain plates. Why not take it up a notch by throwing a set of gold cutlery into the mix? Itโ€™s an instant pop of luxury that exudes warmth to traditional red and green themes. ๐Ÿด
 
#5 End with a Bang:
Whatโ€™s a Christmas dinner without some good old-fashioned crackers? Sure to put a smile on anyoneโ€™s faces, theyโ€™ll also ensure your party goes out with a bang! ๐Ÿ’ซ
