Life advice, finish this one-day tour route before leaving Hong Kong
As the Spring Festival is approaching, it's time to relax and have fun~
Since Guangzhou is adjacent to Hong Kong, I have walked this route 800 times from childhood to adulthood!
I recommend this most Hong Kong-style one-day citywalk to you~
🚩Itinerary: Monster Building - Methodist House - Central - Sai Ying Pun - Kennedy Town - Temple Street Night Market
🔸Monster Building
This is the Shanhai Building where Transformers was filmed, known as the Monster Building
The old E-shaped architectural structure and the huge building form a visually oppressive dense space
🚄Exit A of Quarry Bay Station (Island Line)
🔸Methodist House
From the pedestrian overpass opposite the building, you can see the Methodist House in the middle of the road forming a symmetrical structure with the environment, which is extremely comfortable for OCD!
🚄Exit A of Admiralty Station (Island Line)
🔸Central
Walking and taking photos in Central, the bustling CBD, the busy crowd, the full-flavored tram, all are showing you the Hong Kong style
Note that the once popular clock machine position is gone, the clock is dismantled, I don't know if it will be installed again~
There are Gage Street, Fringe Club, Immaculate Conception Cathedral, etc. in this area
🚄Exit A of Admiralty Station (Island Line)
·
🔸Sai Ying Pun
If Central is a commercial CBD area, then Sai Ying Pun is a Hong Kong-style fireworks
The wrong street, the near-sea view, gives this place a lot of special visuals
🚄Sai Ying Pun Station (Island Line)
🔸Kennedy Town
At Exit C of Kennedy Town MTR Station, you can find the popular photo spot that combines the elements of the street, tram, ferry, and sea
After taking the photos, walk towards the sea and feel the breeze, it's really comfortable
🚄Exit C of Kennedy Town (Island Line)
🔸Temple Street Night Market
If you need to return to West Kowloon, you can get off at Jordan Station on the way back to West Kowloon, and you can pass by Temple Street Night Market, which is suitable for shopping and eating, and tasting authentic Hong Kong snacks
Temple Street is also decorated with a very festive atmosphere during this period!
🚄Jordan Station (Tsuen Wan Line)

The aftermath of leaving Hong Kong is really strong!
The aftermath of leaving Hong Kong is really strong!
Hong Kong is a strange yet familiar city. It's my first time here, but walking on the streets can always evoke memories of Hong Kong movies. The retro and romantic trams, the busy and orderly pedestrians, the dense and modern high-rises, are unique to Hong Kong's retro and prosperity. No matter how you shoot, it feels cinematic.
The citywalk in Hong Kong is too beautiful! The long coastline, various styles of buildings, romantic street scenes, it's worth a visit. I've summarized a citywalk route with mountains, sea, city, and culture. Sisters, let's go.
Citywalk route: Centre Street → Chinese Christian Li Xian Association → Sunset Flyer → Kennedy Town → Swimming Shed

Kennedy Town | Watch a sunset live route
Attracted by the atmosphere of Kennedy Town✨
Not only can you see the blue sea at the end of the road🌊
You can also enjoy the comfort of the coastal road🛣️
And you can watch a special sea sunset at the only remaining swimming shed🌄
This route stops and goes, and has a full atmosphere of Hong Kong style afternoon～
🚇Kennedy Town C exit ➠ %Arabica coffee shop ➠ Western District Swimming Shed➠ 🚌Back to Central
📷Location 1
📍Take the stairs on the left of the subway C exit, go all the way to the basketball court above, you can see many people taking pictures at the net wall on the right, it's here✔️There are many people but you won't wait long, it is recommended to bring a telephoto shot～I took it in the afternoon, the color of the sky is actually a bit bright, it might be better to come in the morning or evening
📷Location 2
📍Go to the left⬅️ at the intersection of the %Arabica coffee seaside coffee shop, there are few people here and it's very photogenic! And there is a tram stop, you can take it directly here
The entrance of the coffee shop, the first and second floors are full of people, but the coastline can actually go all the way to Central, the coastline along the way is very beautiful～If you want to take pictures near the coffee shop, you must follow the rules, don't stand on the road, there are often big cars passing by here
📷Location 3
📍Navigate to the Western District Swimming Shed
It takes about 15 minutes to walk from the coffee shop, 1.2 kilometers; you can also take a city bus to the Caritas Racecourse Dormitory, and walk down a plank road to get to the sea
🌄The sunset is very beautiful, the sea is sparkling, and it's very quiet around with only the sound of the waves～❗️But every time a boat passes by, the waves will get bigger, and the tide will wet the plank road in the evening, the waves are still very fierce.. Be sure to pay attention to safety when you go down to the plank road to take pictures!

I thought Macau was already beautiful! Until I went to Hong Kong
Before going abroad, I specifically flew to Hong Kong and walked 100,000 steps in Hong Kong just to take pictures of these romantic and lively places in Hong Kong. I also summarized this Hong Kong travel photography guide for you. Don't ask me where to go for the National Day anymore, isn't Hong Kong fragrant!
-
Photo check-in point recommendation + strategy: 1 Kennedy Town (Pictures 1-3)
The most extreme romantic Hong Kong seascape, the best position is at the Kennedy Town basketball court
2 Sai Ying Pun (Pictures 4-5)
The road to the sea is well-arranged, and the color levels are very rich
3 Monster Building/Yick Cheong Building (Pictures 6-7)
The filming location of the movie Transformers, when the tram meets the Monster Building 4 North Point (Pictures 8-9)
It can be said to be a treasure spot for taking pictures in Hong Kong, the tram and the lively atmosphere are all hidden here 5 Victoria Harbour (Pictures 10-11)
The ultimate romance of watching the sea by the window, even on rainy days, it belongs to Hong Kong
Recommended hotel:
InterContinental Hong Kong
The classic Hong Kong hotel, with an unbeatable sea view, excellent location, the Chinese restaurant in the InterContinental, Seaview Pavilion, can be said to be the ceiling-level Cantonese cuisine, and there is also a Tiffany's New York Whiskey Bar, which is a classic in Hong Kong. The quiet whiskey bar in the middle of the hustle and bustle, presenting the bustling New York in the 1920s, with over 300 kinds of whiskey
Other tips:
If you fly directly to Hong Kong from abroad or have a ticket from a third country, you can stay in Hong Kong for 7 days with your passport, so you don't need to apply for a Hong Kong and Macau pass separately

Hong Kong has something new on every street
Wasn’t really expecting anything as we walked to our hotel during dinner but then we ran into this show for a festival this time of year. An out door Chinese opera put on for the community. Also we got to burn ghost money for the festival and that was fun and interesting. Getting lost in Hong Kong is a little hard so I recommend just exploring and trying to get lost and found again this is how we found this out door Chinese opera that was very fun.#trip

Instagrammable spot in Kennedy Town
#hongkongtrip
The Sai Wan swimming shed, located about 15 to 20 minutes walk away from Kennedy Town, is a popular photospot that exudes a mysterious vibe especially at dawn and dusk. This place was used in the past when experienced swimmers have their swimming fix in the sea.
However, behind the instagrammable moments, it is so popular that there was an extremely long queue to wait for one's turn to take the shots. Also, the swimming shed is actually closed off with a metal gate. To access the wooden boardwalk leading towards the sea, you have to conquer railings and slippery rocks at the side of the metal gate. You will definitely need someone to help you take from over the metal gate, because if you try to use tripod, the strong waves can come onto the path and sweep it away.

Sooper Yoo
Totally missed this one out 😂 We were there before indoor playhouse required vaccine pass (VP) for kids under 12.
Having a 10,000 square foot space, Sooper Yoo offers a place to explore, climb, learn and play. There are different areas and sections, the first 2 are my kids’ favourite
1. Scramble Course is a 2-3 level maze with slides, climbers and obstacles along the way
2. Yoozoo Racer is an interactive game where kids run alongside animated animals to test their running speed on track
3. Sooper Slap is a game to test their agility and reaction
4. VR cave is pretty common now, virtual world with games, kids basically just smacking the wall to hit the target
There are other like Formula Yoo Sooper Loop (race remote control cars by riding the bike, for kids 130cm and above), Sooper Kix (a VR version of soccer game) and Digi Decks (table games on digital).
Kids think: ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Mom thinks: ⭐️ ⭐️
Well, it’s clean and new and fancy but it’s a been there done that thing for us. I highly doubt it’s for age 4 to 17. More likely suitable for age 4 to 8.
Although we prefer outdoor activities, I understand there are parents who feel more comfortable and safer being indoors, especially when the adults taking kids to play are grandparents or helpers.

Kennedy hidden gem Thai fusion restaurant
Really love their signature menu, 4 courses with different food choices, portion is just perfect for 2 ladies who can't eat much, great deal at $268.
Lobster crossiant is definitely their signature appetizer, tasted it years before and still can't forgot how amazing to have hot soup inside the bread, recommend everyone to give a try.
Grilled pork neck, meat is tendered and good match with the sour and spicy thai chilli sauce.
Grilled Skate Wing is not commonly appeared at HK restaurants, the fish texture is not bad and seems quite healthy, not fat at all.
We added morning glory, just can't resist this typical Thai dish.
Creme brulee wrap up the dinner decently, I like it not too sweet and has good balance with pineapple puree.
We both ordered drinks, coconut and Chamomile tea won't go wrong.

Great vehicle to take you to travel in environmentally friendly way
If you want to enjoy the view along Hong Kong Island, especially between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, in an environmentally friendly way, the tram is a must vehicle to try!
The tram is one of the earliest forms of public transport, run since 1904 under British rule. As it is a double-decker tram using the electoral system with open windows and slow speed, you will have enough time to see Hong Kong Island and enjoy the breeze. On top of that, the tram has a super low price. You only need to spend HK$.2 per trip. What else are you waiting for?

🥾🇭🇰 Hiking in Hong Kong 🇭🇰🥾
We completed the coastal path around Hong Kong Island! Totalling 65km, it took us 3 days. Fantastic experience to explore the variety that the island has to offer.
The views were spectacular, of both natural and
urban scenery. Some highlights were Repulse beach (quite the opposite of repulsive), Kennedy town, and the Dragon's Back trail.
Most of the coastal path is on the actual coast, but some stretches require a detour inland. There was a lot of building work happening in the north west of the island, presumably when finished will improve the path in that area.
Top tips: Pre-planning accommodation is essential. Plenty of public toilets on the route. Public transport is also VERY efficient if needed. Highly recommend the walk, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Three dollars of happiness on the streets of Hong Kong!
In the high-priced Hong Kong, to experience the joy in the swaying of the Ding Ding tram on King's Road, it only costs three dollars! With three dollars, you can travel from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, slowly enjoying the scenery along the way.
I started from the Bank Street at Central's Exchange Square, following the Ding Ding tram eastward, witnessing a Hong Kong filled with the smoke and fire of life: there are the dignified entrances and exits of the CBD's white-collar workers, as well as the old shops standing in rows, the bustling buses, and the working people of the harbor...
Until getting off at Wai On Estate on King's Road, in search of the Monster Building, the filming location for 'Transformers': a combination of a typical Hong Kong street market and surrounding buildings, consisting of the Fuk Cheong Building, Yick Cheong Building, Yick Fat Building, Oceanic Building, and Sea View Building, forming an E-shaped space, a microcosm of Hong Kong's great fusion of life.
Hong Kong is known for its dense and oppressive living conditions due to its large population and small land area, and this Monster Building epitomizes these characteristics to the extreme.
The scene of the Ding Ding tram passing by the skyscrapers is like entering an old movie.
On the way back, walk towards Quarry Bay, browse the vegetable market, and experience the daily life of the locals.
If you get tired of walking, you can take the Ding Ding tram again to Causeway Bay, Wan Chai, or Admiralty, stroll through the malls, and taste the local cuisine, which is truly a fireworks enjoyment.
🌈Highlight: Ding Ding tram, the cheapest sightseeing transport in Hong Kong
🚗Address & Transportation:
King's Road, the main section of the Ding Ding tram from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan. Monster Building, located on the south side of King's Road on Hong Kong Island, between the MTR Quarry Bay Station and Tai Koo Station,
it is recommended to take the Ding Ding tram. Hong Kong Tramways Ding Ding Tram
✨Tips: The Monster Building is actually just a densely populated old residential area, famous because of the movie 'Transformers'. It is located near Wai On Estate on King's Road, and you can see it by entering through the door next to a bakery called 'Ho Hei Bun Shop'.
It's a private place, keep quiet, and do not disturb the residents' lives.

HK is the perfect place for street photography
A friend mentioned to me that Kennedy Town is very picturesque, and since I was planning a trip to Hong Kong, I decided to stop by. I didn't follow the typical influencer recommendations for photo spots; I just wanted to take a leisurely walk.
📍Detailed Address:
Kennedy Town is located on the westernmost side of Hong Kong Island. The area is not only home to the University of Hong Kong and Sai Ying Pun, which are popular for street photography, but it also boasts unique sunset sea views that attract many people to come and take pictures. If you have time, I suggest walking along the tram route to see many beautiful hidden street scenes.
❤Recommended Reason:
Kennedy Town showcases the romance of Hong Kong Island, with its constant flow of people and never-ending stream of vehicles, to the fullest. Coming here when the sun is about to set, you can witness a unique sunset.
🧳Preparation Before Coming:
Wear comfortable shoes to walk along the streets and soak up the city's atmosphere. You can bring a camera to take photos and document your street exploration.
Penelope.Morris@73
Kennedy Town in Hong Kong is really a great place to take photos at the Sai Wan Swimming Shed
The wooden walkway stretches out to the sea
Walking on it, it creaks
The waves beat against the rocks below with abandon🪨
Sitting at the end of the walkway
You can enjoy the unique romance of the sea
.
It's not very crowded now, so you can take photos freely
You can capture atmospheric shots in minutes
When you come to Kennedy Town, you must also stop by the Sai Wan Swimming Shed

How to play in Kennedy Town, Hong Kong?
📍Kennedy Town
Transportation: Take the Island Line to Kennedy Town Station and exit.
Recommendation: 4.5⭐
Some places become popular for no apparent reason (bushi). I heard that many people go to take pictures inside the grid of a basketball court, which I found quite strange, so I didn't go for the typical city-sea photography angle. Instead, I navigated directly to the park by the sea in front of the fire station. Kennedy Town is located at the westernmost end of the north shore of Hong Kong Island, commonly known as the tail of the Western District. It was only developed after the year 2000.
Walking slowly from the subway station towards the coastline, the bustling street view transitions into a vast seascape, which feels genuinely great. Standing in the seaside park, facing the sea with the wind messing up my hair, and turning back to see double-decker buses shuttling on the road, with a jungle of steel-reinforced buildings not far away, there's a peculiar sense of secret delight. It's as if, although the chaotic life is right behind me, standing here allows me to shed all the cumbersome burdens, listen to the sea breeze, and enjoy myself.

A two-day, one-night free stroll through Hong Kong
After many years, I came to Hong Kong for a free stroll. Arrived at West Kowloon Station at noon, walked to find the hotel located next to Jordan Station on the Tsuen Wan Line, left my luggage at the hotel and started the first day of strolling. Tsuen Wan Line Jordan Station-Central Station, switched to the Island Line to reach the end of Hong Kong Island, Kennedy Town, then took the tram back to Central for a stroll (the tram terminus is right in Kennedy Town), Man Mo Temple in Central - Tai Kwun~Mid-Levels Escalator all done in one go, returned to the hotel to have dinner in Mong Kok, continued strolling and taking night photos near Mong Kok after dinner, slowly made my way back to the hotel, completing an absolutely proactive day of strolling.
Day two of strolling in Hong Kong, having morning tea overlooking Victoria Harbour - Central Market (Master Ho Fan's favorite shooting location) ~ took the ferry to Yau Tsim Mong ~ M+ Museum ~ Avenue of Stars K11 Art Mall ~ hurried back to West Kowloon high-speed rail, perfectly completing the second day's strolling mission.

Just got back from Hong Kong, went on a vigorous walk through CityWalk to experience it
I like the vibe of City Walk
Detached from myself, observing the passing crowd
Tall modern skyscrapers in the distance
The hustle and bustle of everyday life right before my eyes
Different skin colors, yet beautiful
Different backgrounds, yet inclusive
🏃♀️Route: West Kowloon - Kennedy Town🚎 - Sai Ying Pun - Sheung Wan🚎 - Causeway Bay - Tsim Sha Tsui
🔆Suggestion: Try to plan less during travel

What attracts me to Hong Kong time and again
Is the enthusiastic dried fruit shop auntie
Who, with her broken Mandarin, insists I try the dried strawberries
Is the miscellaneous shop I pass by, with coconut shell filled with fragrance
As comforting as the scent of a shower gel
Is also the seaside pizza shop I randomly look up to see
Stumbled in, and the waiters are all foreigners
Affordable prices, but no seats available due to a party
Believe me, in Hong Kong, when you're tired and hungry, just follow your instincts, walk into any shop, and it will be delicious! Definitely delicious!
The only aftereffect of coming back is the desire to go again 🥹

Kennedy Town, a popular photo spot in Hong Kong
It is located at the western end of the Central and Western District on Hong Kong Island, with Mount Davis to the south, Belcher Bay to the north, Sulphur Channel to the west separating it from the Little and Big Green Islands, and connected to Shek Tong Tsui to the east; the area includes the intersection of Western Street and Belcher's Street with Queen's Road West. Kennedy Town is one of the earliest developed areas in Hong Kong and was part of the original Victoria City. In the initial zoning of Hong Kong, which was divided into four rings and nine districts, Kennedy Town belonged to the Western District and the First District (from Kennedy Town to Shek Tong Tsui), according to Hong Kong Government Gazette No. 331 dated August 26, 1886, the area was originally named Kennedy Town, later written as Kennedy Town, and has only been abbreviated to Kennedy Town in recent years. The westernmost part of Kennedy Town, such as the area near Sai Wan Estate, is colloquially known as 'Sai Wan Tail,' meaning the end of Sai Wan.
Due to its location at the westernmost fringe of Hong Kong Island, the development of Kennedy Town has been slower than that of the Central and Sheung Wan areas, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and North Point after World War II. Kennedy Town has long been considered a more remote residential area in the Island District, with high-end residential developments starting from the year 2000.

Taking photos in Hong Kong, feeling the breeze and gazing at the sea in Kennedy Town, just how spectacular it is

Four years later, the first place I wanted to visit in Hong Kong was Kennedy Town.
I called my younger brother and sister to join me! It's worth the trip just to experience this blue sea!
That day, we first went to a new dim sum place for breakfast (you can check out the previous Hong Kong travel guide), and after eating, it was just a 3-minute walk to the Arabica%F coffee shop by the sea. The sea breeze was refreshing, and it was a beautiful and comfortable place to take photos~
Under the sunlight~ Blue sky, white clouds, and the azure sea, every casual shot is a beautiful scene!
Sharing some photo-taking tips:
By the roadside near the sea, shoot from across the street at 1.5x/2x zoom.
2. Facing the sea, walk straight to the left of the coffee shop, and you'll find a "Kennedy Town" sign.
3. Facing the sea, walk straight to the right of the coffee shop and cross the street opposite (bus terminal), where you can sit by the sea and daydream, or watch the uncles fishing (no vehicle traffic, safer V).
The roadside is very photogenic,
But there is a lot of traffic, so pay extra attention to safety when taking photos! Also, good weather is really important!
Subway: Kennedy Town C exit (about a 10-minute walk)

Traveling in Hong Kong | Kennedy Town is just too photogenic
Kennedy Town popular photo spot is located just a left turn at the first intersection from Kennedy Town MTR station exit C towards the seaside. There are many nice restaurants and coffee shops around, and when the weather is good, you can order an afternoon tea and sit outside to enjoy the pleasant atmosphere here.
