2. Why should you choose Hong Kong?
An ancient Hong Kong. @cnn
Or a modern Hong Kong with towering skyscrapers. @internet
Not only recently, but historically, the Hong Kong style has always been something that attracts us all. Retro-style photos with bell-bottoms, padded vests, and golden neon lights; reenacted Hong Kong-style eateries are all evidence of the allure of Hong Kong style. So, where else is Hong Kong more distinctive than the Fragrant Harbor itself? As young people, we travel, and one of those youthful destinations undoubtedly bears the name Hong Kong.

The second reason is perhaps closely tied to the childhood of many of us. Children born in the 80s, 90s, or later will grow up with captivating Hong Kong films. We're familiar with names like Lan Kwai Fong, Kowloon City, Victoria Harbour...? Immerse yourself in the nostalgic world of the small screen and truly set foot in a land that feels familiar yet so foreign!

Hong Kong is the city that never sleeps, where the old and the modern coexist harmoniously; it's filled with numerous check-in spots, entertainment venues, and shopping opportunities. It can be seen as the entertainment and tourism hub of Asia - so make sure not to leave Hong Kong out of your wishlist. Let's explore together with Mytour the iconic landmarks, must-try Hong Kong delicacies, and other unique experiences!
3. Iconic Check-in Spots in the Fragrant Harbor
Montane Mansion Apartments

This place has once topped the list of most Instagrammed locations – a testament to the hotness of this destination. Mention Hong Kong and the image of Montane Mansion with its hundreds of tiny stacked apartments stretching high into the sky immediately comes to mind. Built in the 1960s, Montane Mansion epitomizes the cramped living conditions of the Fragrant Harbor.
Lok Wah Estate Apartments

The public space of Lok Wah Estate is dominated by pastel green hues, serving as a backdrop for urban and slightly pop-art-inspired photo shoots. A favorite photography spot for many is the panoramic view of the estate or the architectural composition of intersecting circular arches captured from the rooftop parking lot of this apartment complex. The consecutive circles create a visual spectacle for those who set foot here.
Nathan Road

Nathan Road is the real-world depiction of 'Hong Kong in photographs.' If you're a fan of music videos or classic Hong Kong films with vintage film-like colors, then be sure not to miss this iconic neon-sign-filled street!
Star Ferry Pier
A familiar scene in TVB dramas, standing by the riverside gazing at the skyscrapers during sunset or illuminated glamourously at night.
Braemar Hill

If The Peak is too familiar and crowded, then Braemar Hill is a completely new place to admire the panoramic view of Hong Kong and witness the stunning sunset. This check-in spot will provide you with a new and magnificent photo angle.
Sai Wan Bay

Situated in the northwest of Hong Kong, Sai Wan Bay (Sai Wan Swimming Shed) was built in the 1990s and is one of the most beautiful check-in spots in Hong Kong. The Sai Wan pier is where 'Instagrammers' capture stunning sky reflection photos; or wait until dusk to capture the mesmerizing blend of orange and purple.
Goldfish Market

This is one of the hottest check-in spots on social media and a must-visit destination on the Hong Kong tourist map. Although it's a goldfish market, there are many artistic photo corners that exude the essence of Hong Kong. Located on Tung Chong Street, this market specializes in selling fish in bags hanging neatly on shelves, creating a beautiful background along the entire street.
Ngong Ping 360
Ngong Ping 360. @internet
Considered one of the must-do tourist activities in Hong Kong, it attracts a large number of visitors from all over. The cable car glides over forests and sea to reach the largest sitting Buddha statue in Asia, Tian Tan. The cable car has glass-bottom cabins for panoramic views, allowing for easy photo-taking with wide-angle shots and unrestricted posing for check-in moments.
Golden Goose - Roasted Goose
Prepare to be amazed by the succulent, sweetened meat of the roasted goose, coupled with its alluring golden-brown crispy skin, served alongside a savory sauce and a touch of fresh greens. The meat is marinated with rich spices and evenly roasted, while the skin remains delightfully crispy, preserving the natural sweetness of the goose meat. This is a dish you must indulge in when you have the chance to visit Hong Kong.
Prosperity Pot - Dry Pot Hotpot
Red Bean Delight - Red Bean Pudding
Eggcellent Egg Puffs - Young Chicken Egg Cakes
Hong Kong stands as the birthplace of these delectable young chicken egg cakes. The aroma of freshly steamed cakes, fragrant with buttery goodness, tantalizes with their golden crust and sweet, fluffy filling.
Fish Balls Deluxe - Hong Kong Fish Balls
Delightful Dim Sum and Steamed Treasures
Tsim Sha Tsui offers numerous accommodation options at affordable rates. @internet
If you're looking for places to grab a drink or enjoy the view, you can head to Ozone Bar - the world's highest bar, or Sky100 building. It's only in the evenings that this area becomes quieter compared to the bustling areas of Hong Kong Island.
Central Hong Kong, Wan Chai, or Causeway Bay tend to be pricier in terms of accommodation, with very few mid-range options available. These areas are considered central hubs with bustling shopping centers, restaurants, bars, and clubs, attracting crowds, especially tourists. They also boast heritage streets with iconic old Hong Kong-style establishments.
The Western District of Hong Kong, on the other hand, is the oldest district and would suit those who prefer a quieter atmosphere away from the typical Hong Kong hustle and bustle. It's filled with narrow alleys, small streets with minimal neon advertising lights. Alongside are family-run eateries and traditional British or Chinese-style buildings. Being less touristy, you can experience the authentic local lifestyle, and rental prices here are relatively lower compared to the general market.
And of course, the largest island in Hong Kong – Lantau Island also offers suitable accommodations if you prefer tranquility. Staying on Lantau Island would cater to visits to Hong Kong Disneyland, Big Buddha, or experiencing the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car ride.
Find and choose your accommodation more easily with Mytour here.
Hong Kong always exudes its unique charm and has a strong allure for travelers worldwide. It would be wonderful to preserve a part of your youth amidst the most beautiful landscapes in the renowned Fragrant Harbour. Don't forget to share those youthful memories with Mytour!
