Just returned from Hong Kong, and I must say this trip was "a mix of all emotions." From the bustling city vibe to serene and beautiful spots you wouldn't expect in such a fast-paced city.
Hong Kong perfectly blends modernity with traditional Chinese culture. Just a few steps out of an MTR station, you'll find towering skyscrapers, but turn into another alley, and you'll discover an ancient temple. The faint scent of incense and the sound of chanting bring an unexpected sense of peace. Temples like Wong Tai Sin, Che Kung, and Tin Hau are filled with devoted visitors seeking blessings.
The city view from The Peak is an unmissable highlight. Looking down, you'll see rows of buildings and the stunning Victoria Harbour, especially during the evening to nighttime when the city lights up, creating a romantic movie-like scene. The Ngong Ping 360 cable car offers a different vibe, showcasing mountains, the sea, and the Big Buddha in full view, providing a brief escape from the city's hustle.
The food is another unforgettable aspect. From steaming dim sum, crispy roast duck, Hong Kong-style noodles, to authentic bubble tea, the flavors are rich and unique, unlike anywhere else. Strolling and snacking around Tsim Sha Tsui or Mong Kok brings simple joys that complete the trip.
Though Hong Kong is a fast-paced city, it hides more tranquil corners than you'd expect. It's a destination where you can enjoy sightseeing, shopping, temple visits, and moments of peace all in one trip. For anyone looking for an easy, well-rounded, and never-boring international getaway, Hong Kong is a heartfelt recommendation. ❤️🇭🇰
