Travel to Hong Kong

Hong Kong is China’s gateway to the world, a city where East meets West in dazzling fashion. Once a colonial outpost, it has evolved into a global financial powerhouse and cultural crossroads. Skyscrapers cling to lush hillsides, while neon-lit streets pulse with energy from markets, luxury malls, and world-class eateries. It’s a place of contrasts—tradition and innovation, serenity and hustle. Hong Kong doesn’t just keep up with the future—it negotiates it with style.

My wife and I went on a month-long trip around China, and our first city was Hong Kong. Here are three things I liked.

1. The atmosphere. It sounds cliché, but nowhere else in the world can you find such a combination of old taxis, British double-decker buses, an American pace of life, and Chinese culture.

2. Accessibility to key attractions. Despite Hong Kong being one of the most expensive cities in the world, all the main sights are relatively free. For example, a bus ride to the city's highest point costs only $3.50.

3. Walkability. Despite being an Asian metropolis, the city is easily explored on foot, while also visiting parks that many compare to New York City's Central Park for their views of skyscrapers.

Would you go to Hong Kong?

Bringing kids along? Comfort is the top priority. This Japanese restaurant offers spacious seating and excellent service. It's rare to find such great service these days! 🥲

Their lunch sets start at just $68, including salad, a main dish, and miso soup. The Salmon and Crab Roe Rice Bowl is only $78! You can also add sides and drinks, with Chawanmushi for just an extra $10. It's really worth it! 👍 Plus, no additional service charge during lunch hours!

Sushi & Udon Set $78
Choose from 3 combinations. I picked red shrimp, eel, yellowtail, salmon, and surf clam. The sashimi is fresh, and each piece of sushi is generously sized.

Prawn Tempura Udon $88
Comes with eggplant, pumpkin, shiitake mushrooms, and two large prawns. The tempura is freshly fried and crispy, and the udon is served in a large portion, very filling.

Cruise | Eat enough and sleep enough to wait for the signal 𓇼🐚⋆。 ˚🌊𓆝⋆.
Rarely have a holiday, decided to go on a cruise to have a relaxing holiday ~
This time we are on the "Gu Lang Yu", the route is Hong Kong - Miyako Island - Hong Kong, five days and four nights, share your experience ✨

Prepare before you travel
· Drinking water
It is recommended to prepare the amount of water for two days before docking and restock on shore before returning. The water punched out from the restaurant on the cruise has an average taste and you may not be used to it.

Eat and drink on board
· Oriental Restaurant on the 6th floor
The dishes are the same as those at Peninsula Restaurant, all free of charge, including vegetarian and vegetarian, soup and desserts and fruits. The environment is quite comfortable. If you go early, you can sit by the window.

Buffet form, are free. However, there are more people at the meal, and it sometimes takes a while to find a seat.

There is something magical about stepping into Hong Kong Disneyland. It truly feels like walking straight into a fairytale. Even on a cloudy day, the mix of dreamy castles, lakeside views, and small boats on the water makes the whole place look like a movie set come to life.

Start your day on Main Street, U.S.A., where the vintage storefronts and Victorian details create perfect backdrops for photos. Then head to the Castle of Magical Dreams and try catching it at dusk when the lights begin to glow against the cloudy sky. It is one of the most beautiful sights in the park.

Do not miss Arendelle: World of Frozen. The Norwegian-style rooftops and boat-themed details are stunning. For the best photo, stand near the water and capture the reflections of the village and castle under the moody Hong Kong skies.

When it is time for a break, enjoy a treat from one of the themed cafés or explore the rides in Adventureland. If you visit on a rainy day, which is quite common, focus on indoor attractions and bring a light rain jacket instead of an umbrella so your hands stay free for photos and snacks.

Tips:
Arrive about 30 minutes before opening for smaller crowds and easier photos.
Check the daily schedule before you go, as hours can change frequently.
Weekdays are usually less busy if you want to avoid long lines.
Admission: HKD 559
Address: Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Lantau, Hong Kong

I've been thinking about where to go during the National Day for a long time. The tickets are expensive and crowded as the holidays are approaching.
I suddenly wanted to try a cruise 🚢, and I was really satisfied with the result!

🛳️ Gu Lang Yu Cruise Experience

Because I am in the Greater Bay Area, I chose the "Gu Lang Yu" cruise
The route departs from Hong Kong and passes through Miyako Island, Japan🇯🇵.
At first I was confused between Vietnamese line or Japanese line, but luckily I chose Japan in the end!
Miyako Island is so beautiful that it's worth a special visit! 🌴

👏 Onboard Experience

The Gu Lang Yu is a good friend for first-time cruisers!
Although not an oversized ship, it is fully equipped and has excellent service.
The service staff on board are all very nice and enthusiastic 🥰.
As an I person (introvert), this time really i person attribute explosion ~
The daily activities are very rich, the night performances are super exciting, the actors are serious and watchable✨
However, the seating slope of the theater on the ship is not high enough, so it is easy to be blocked by the front row👀

🌅 Sunset at sea and "Truman's World" feeling

The sunset on the sea is so amazing 🌇!
Looking at the endless sea, it feels like being in The Truman Show.
The sea is too broad ~ the heart has been healed 💭.

🚗 Miyako Island Day Trip (Charter Required!)

The time to go to the island is only 6 hours. You must charter a car to have enough fun!
This will maximize the use of time 💪.
We went to:
Irabe Bridge🌉
Observation Deck
Naha
Miyako Wagyu Beef🥩
Don Quijote 🛍️
Sand Mountain
AEON AEON
Nishimatsuya (buying kids clothes is super cheap👶)

I also played motorboat in Naha, it cost 200 mosquitoes per person, it was so fun!
We also saw sea turtles 🐢 and corals 🪸, super beautiful!
If you don't have a chartered car, you may not be able to visit both attractions😆.

💡 Summary & Next Plan
After returning, I was ready to help my mother sign up for a cruise 🤣!
Friends in the Greater Bay Area can pay attention
Royal Caribbean Ocean Spectrum will depart from Hong Kong at the end of November.
Can't miss it! ⚓️

Looking for a chill spot to drink in Knutsford Terrace, Tsim Sha Tsui? It's not hard to find, but a place that combines great food, fun activities, and Instagram-worthy moments is rare! 🍹✨

This time, we visited the 404 Not Found bar, and the ambiance is incredibly cozy. The lighting is soft yet stylish, and with the outdoor seating area, the stunning views will have you snapping photos non-stop! The vibe is so perfect that your IG stories might just run out of space! 🎉

Apart from drinks, they also offer slap cup, darts, and even pool! It's the perfect place for a group of friends to have a blast, with laughter filling the air and a lively atmosphere that keeps boredom at bay.

As for the food, I highly recommend trying their skewers! Especially the grilled chicken gizzards and cartilage – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and so addictive you can't stop eating! The chicken wings are also incredibly flavorful – sooo good! You'll find it hard to put your fork down! 😋🔥

When it comes to drinks, the strawberry cocktail is a must-try for the ladies. Its dreamy pink hue, sweet taste, and smooth texture make it perfect for both Instagram and your taste buds!

404 Not Found excels in ambiance, food, and drinks, making it ideal for friend gatherings or romantic dates. The prices are reasonable, offering great value for money! If you're looking for a unique bar to enjoy your night, this place is highly recommended!
