When you arrive, take the Ngong Ping Cable to Lantau Island. The island is the tourist center of Hong Kong, with attractions ranging from Disneyland to tranquil monasteries. We came here to witness the gigantic Big Buddha, the most important center of Buddhism in Hong Kong.

Spend some time enjoying the tranquil views, stop by Po Lin Monastery for more peace, tranquility and serenity, and when you’ve had it all, sample some snacks from local eateries. It would take about 3 hours to see the place. Lantau Island? Check! Time to take the No. 2 bus to the Mui Wo Ferry Pier, from where you will travel to the heart of Hong Kong, the Central Pier.

The Central Pier is the center of Hong Kong where all the good things in life can be found: shopping, eating and partying. Head to the Central Elevated Walkway, a super easy covered pedestrian bridge that connects the best shopping centers in the city. Although this is usually the expensive and expensive stuff, if you happen to be looking for pocket-friendly shopping, you can just head to The Lanes, a street that caters to flea markets, stock up on clothes and accessories by the tons! It should be lunch time if you’re in the area, so stop in for a tasty bowl at Mak’s Noodles! Slurppp.

After your delicious bowl of Wonton has made its way down your throat, head to the Man Mo Temple nearby. The largest temple in Hong Kong, the Man Mo Temple is dedicated to themanGod of Literature and Mo, the god of war. The temple is characterized by its grand entrance and makes an interesting backdrop for some selfies!

After visiting the temple, take a taxi to Victoria Peak, which is about 8 km away. It will be close to sunset by the time you reach the top of the peak, and it is recommended to stay there for about an hour and enjoy the view of the setting sun disappearing among the Hong Kong skyline. Just as you think you couldn’t have seen something so beautiful, the lights of Hong Kong will begin to flicker and come to life, and then your opinion of beautiful sights will change again.

After thoroughly soaking those eyes, head to the Peak Lookout Bistro for a cold drink before catching the tram down. Once you’ve descended to the top, take a taxi to Causeway Bay and get ready for the exciting Hong Kong to come alive as the sun sets! Take a stroll around Causeway Bay, indulge in the many stalls and when it’s about half past seven, get ready to head to the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade because you won’t want to miss the colorful Symphony of Lights. Rest assured, you will be watching the show in a sort of trance.

If you have a foodie in you, it is recommended to visit the Felix Bar and Restaurant at the Peninsula Hotel. And in case you’ve used up your batteries, you can always go back to your hotel and crash – you still have to get to that meeting in Hong Kong!
