Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Harbour promenade
Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade
This waterfront path follows Victoria Harbour from the Clock Tower towards the Avenue of Stars. It gives one of the clearest views of Hong Kong Island’s towers, especially at dusk.
Contemporary art museum
M+ Museum
On the West Kowloon waterfront, M+ presents visual art, design and moving images. Its galleries and architecture offer a different experience from the district’s markets and temples.
Taoist temple
Wong Tai Sin Temple
The colourful courtyards and pavilions of Wong Tai Sin Temple welcome worshippers and visitors. See the architecture and practices without disturbing people at prayer.
Night market
Temple Street Night Market
In Yau Ma Tei, Temple Street comes alive in the evening with stalls, signs and small restaurants. The scene varies by day; come for the street as much as for shopping.
