Hong Kong One Day City Walk - A 20,000-step journey with a guide
Prepare in advance:
1. Get an Octopus card (applicable for all transportation and most shopping, very convenient!) But it's not mandatory, you can use the wx ride code to travel everywhere.
2. Exchange for Hong Kong dollars according to personal spending (many small shops really only accept HKD, if you plan to visit Lung Shing Dispensary, HKD is a must)
I usually exchange at the border, and if there's any leftover, I can exchange it back.
3. Hong Kong and Macau pass.
4. Power bank
5. Google Maps
6. Hong Kong one-day data SIM card (easily purchased online, very cheap and I find it quite useful, there's basically always signal)

Some small suggestions:
1. Most places in Hong Kong do not have seating, be prepared for a lot of walking and wear the most comfortable shoes 👟
2. For those who want to take photos and check in, please note ⚠️ most popular photo spots are crowded, it's recommended to find your own angles to avoid the crowd, otherwise, it's really a waste of time
The light show is too general, the night view of Victoria Harbour is still worth seeing, the ticket bought is more swaying, not very good, the attitude of the service staff for the wine is also general, if you are dizzy, you must consider it carefully!
Also, there are free drinks on the cruise ship. There is one thing to pay attention to: queue early, when the cruise ship has to occupy the position of the bow or the top of the boat, so that you can enjoy the scenery and take pictures (the position of the stern is not recommended, there will be tail smell)
It is one of the ways to visit Victoria Harbour in Hong Kong. The boat location is located at Pier 2 in Tsim Sha Tsui, which is difficult to find. It is recommended to arrive early. The scenery is not bad, the price is a bit expensive, and the tour time is about 50 minutes.
There are many choices to visit Victoria Harbour, you can take the Star Ferry, which is equivalent to a round-trip ferry, which is the most cost-effective way to visit up close. You can also take a yacht, there are many sales on the pier, you can choose according to your needs. You can walk along the coast, such as on the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui. You can also take the cable car to the Taiping Peak Lingyu Pavilion viewing platform, overlooking the entire Victoria Harbour, with beautiful day and night views. Personally recommend the Star Ferry and Taiping Peak, close and high overlooking the scenery and fun are very strong. There are many high-rise buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour, filmed, especially after the lights are on at night, it is said that the Taiping Peak overlooking Victoria Harbour is rated as one of the four most beautiful night views in the world. The pier on board at the time, that is, the ferry terminal, has a self-service ticket machine, accepts 10 yuan and 20 yuan notes and all coins, you can also go to the counter to pay for the ferry ticket with WeChat.
A person went to Victoria Harbour for the first time in Hong Kong. First, he took the subway to Tsim Sha Tsui, walked through the Avenue of Stars, and at the end, spent five yuan on the Star Ferry, to the other side of Causeway Bay, and saw the prosperity of Hong Kong.
The ticket was issued very quickly. After arriving at the pier, there was a staff on the edge of the pier to help us check the paper. The price was very high. The boat is also very beautiful, the place is very spacious, the bow and stern can be viewed, the drinks and snacks on the boat can be eaten casually, I recommend everyone to buy.
Landmark punch card, you can take the Star Ferry, you can also watch the fireworks (in months), basically every day there is a light show, it is worth a visit! The beach is cold and you need to bring a coat. The atmosphere is very strong for Christmas! You can consider booking a sea view room in a nearby hotel through Ctrip to directly see the Victoria Harbour sea view!
You can enjoy the night view of Victoria Harbour from all sides. The meal is also very good. It is very good in Hong Kong with high prices, but I don’t know if it’s because I’m alone, I arranged a table for me alone. The boat also arranged for people to sing. All are classic English songs (except flowers) I just listened to the song and drifted in Victoria Harbour. I also enjoyed it. I met a waiter on the boat. He saw me alone and ran to me to chat. I talked about the university and the atmosphere was very good.
