Hong Kong may appear to be massive when you look at photos of its skyline but trust me it is conveniently packed and can be easily explored within 2 days. I recommend you start Hong Kong at the Victoria Peak which offers amazing views of the Hong Kong island skyline, but avoid paying $7 USD for the Skyterrace, instead take a 15-minute hike on the secret Lugard Road which leads to the best view of Hong Kong.

Great attractions on Hong Kong island are the Yik Cheong building at Quarry Bay, easily reachable by subway and Oddies, Hong Kong style egg-waffles in the Central district.
Other typical places to visit are Lan Fong Yuen, for their special Hong Kong tea ($3 USD), filtered to actual stockings, leaving no residue. Also try their buns seared with condensed milk.
The most bizarre dish I must have eaten was the wild pigeon at Kwan Yu Roasted Meats in Causeway Bay, an entire roasted pigeon for $6 USD with a cup of extremely strong tea. A meal for champions to say the least.
For a more delightful dinner, venture out to Yung Kee Restaurant for their Signature Charcoal Roasted Goose for $35 USD. Crispy goose skin covered juicy goose meat, a true local delicacy.
Hong Kong also offers very fun restaurants and great for food photography, especially Yum Cha, for their cute dim sum steamer baskets containing piggy pork buns, pineapple bird cakes in a cage and funky molten custard buns. Make sure to poke a hole for the hot custard to ooze out of its mouth. I even ran into a few Reformatt subscribers from Japan and Hong Kong who were also dining at the same restaurant.
Another bizarre restaurant is Hoi Tin Tong where you can try out the local turtle jelly which apparently cures you from a hangover. Although pricey, at $15 USD you may expect a lot, but it is very blend until you pour some honey into the mix. Their best treat is the almond pudding, this was beyond delicious for just $2 USD.
12% OFF Aqua Luna tickets:
The BEST Hong Kong dim sum can be experience at Michelin-star restaurant Tim Ho Wan, for extremely cheap prices, Shumai at $4 USD, Har Gow at $4 USD and BBQ pork buns at $3 USD, basically $1 USD per item. Absolutely ridiculously cheap for Michelin rated food. Arrive before 5pm to avoid any line-ups.
In conclusion, I have to say that Hong Kong is one of the coolest cities I’ve ever been to, but you must remember, Hong Kong is a pure business city, the locals can be very rushed and occupied. Hong Kong never really focused on being a hardcore tourist destination so keep that in mind. This itinerary is ideal for 2 days in Hong Kong, everything is within proximity, so you won’t spent too much time travelling around.

In 2023, I wonder how accurate this video is now lol. I hear the temple night market is almost nonexistent now
Just eat eat eat. How soulless. I just hope tourists and foreigners are aware of the 2019 protests and what is really going on in this city now. BTW Is there a chapter on Xinjiang too?
Hongkong look beautiful place nice VIEW
Thanks for sharing my friend

Seems like all your 30 secrets and Things to do are about stuffing your belly and eating all you can find. Boring beyond measures. Pretty sure Hong Kong has way more to offer than dim sum and dim some more.
Chungking Mansion, once a den of illegal activities, is now a good place to stay, shop and eat. I’ve stayed there many times and never had an issue. Pre-pandemic there were also several excellent money changers inside.
Each of the observation platforms up on The Peak give a different perspective, view. There are (or were 2 free viewing areas). The Sky Terrace does cost but it also offers some excellent views. The Lions Pavilion, just down from the Peak Tower, is free and also offers excellent views on its 2 or 3 vantage points. On the roof of the Peak Galleria there was another viewing area that offered views out to a couple of the smaller islands in clear weather.
