Strolling around Hong Kong Island

It is very convenient to take the high-speed rail from Shenzhen North to West Kowloon. As I had plenty of time, I walked to Austin Station from the subway station, walked to the Star Ferry, and took the Star Ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui Pier to Central Pier. Tips: If you don’t have Octopus, please buy the ferry ticket by yourself and prepare 10-20 Hong Kong dollars in paper money. Hong Kong Island is the only area with trams. Tips: Starting from June, you can use Alipay to pay. Get on the bus through the back door and get off through the front door by swiping your card. Several lines basically have duplicate platforms, which are also relatively close. I first took the tram from [Pedder Street] (Shek Tong Tsui ~ North Point) and passed [Chun Yeung Street] which was my first impression of the city. Then take the bus from North Point to Pottinger Street, also known as the [Stone Street]. From here on, you will witness the ancient times. No matter which direction you go, you can reach the attractions, [Lan Kwai Fong] ~ [Kerosene Street] ~ [Hollywood Road] ~ [Mid-Levels Escalator] leading to Tai Kwun. Walk to the Court of Final Appeal, a building that is often featured in Hong Kong movies about lawsuits. Take the tram at the entrance (Bank Street Station ~ Water Street Station) to the University of Hong Kong, passing by St. Anthony's Church. The Hong Kong University Art Gallery just happened to have a Picasso glass painting exhibition. The lotus flowers have faded and the sausage trees are blooming. I walked to Sai Wan Pier to bask in the sun, took the tram to Happy Valley terminal, then leisurely returned to the cobblestone street and walked to St. John's Church. I listened to the pastor's sermon for the first time. His voice was gentle and elegant. When I was about to return, I remembered that I had not yet reached the Avenue of Stars. I walked a little further and passed the Space Museum to the dusk seaside. I just didn’t understand why the bronze statue of Anita Mui marked on the map became the statue of McDull… The wind at the port in summer is particularly pleasant. You need to depart Hong Kong from West Kowloon at least 50 minutes in advance because of the traffic, people and queues in the station. I changed the time at the manual service counter. The service was very good, but I thought they were too patient, haha.
