4 better alternatives for the Hong Kong must-go points

Hong Kong must-go points and the alternatives

Travel guide books and websites always recommend some must-go points to the individual travelers.  In this post, you can find the better alternatives.

Must-go: Man Mo Temple at Sheung WanBetter alternative: Lin Fa Kung Temple at Tai Hang

Man Mo Temple's incense coils for making wishes cause the temple to be too smoky. The smoke makes you 'cry' and cough.  

The half-octagonal shape Lin Fa Kung Temple is cleaner as it uses the electric lotus flower lamp.  You can also learn the history of Fire Dragon Parade at this temple for the Goddess of Mercy.

Must-go: Sky-100 Observation Deck at ICC buildingBetter alternative: The Peak, West Kowloon Waterfront Promenade and the highest bar in the ICC Building

The 175HKD ticket price for Sky-100 may be not reasonable.  The fixed windows cause reflection, which makes photo taking difficult.  

The traditional Victoria Peak or new West Kowloon Waterfront promenade are free of charge.  You can make 'one payment to get two enjoyments' (drink and view) at the highest bar in the World in the same ICC building. 

Must-go: Harbour cruise in the Victoria HarbourBetter alternative: Different public ferry rides

Harbour cruises sail around the Victoria harbour for about 2 hours.  After 15 minutes, you may feel boring.  

You can actually be a local to take public ferry rides to see more and learn more.  Like the North Point to Hung Hom Ferry ride, apart from the sea view, you can visit the seafood market at the North Point Pier and try the shopping and culinary options near Hung Hom Pier.

Must-go: Tai O Fishing Village on Lantau IslandBetter alternative: Sai Kung Fishing Village

Tai O's traffic is inconvenient.  The stream may have stench during low tide.  Some of you may not like the strong smell of the dried seafood.  The 'Venice in the East' may fall short of the reality.

Sai Kung Fishing Village is easily accessible from the city.  The reasonably priced fresh seafood at the 'Seafood Street' and beaches on the nearby Sharp Island with good water quality are waiting for you.

For private tour planning in Hong Kong, please contact Frank the tour guide.

You may consider the Sai Kung half day private tour, which brings you to the Sai Kung Fishing Village.

How can travelers go to the Victoria Peak if they don't take the Peak Tram?

Other ways to go up the Victoria Peak

There are FOUR other ways to go up the Peak (not including Peak tram and taxi)!

Bus route No 15

No 15 departs at Central.  It goes to the Peak via Wan Chai.  So it takes time to go to the destination.  

If you sit at the front row of the upper deck of the bus, you can see how the skillful driver surmounts the steep and narrow roads of the Victoria Peak.

Green mini bus No 1

No 1 green mini bus also departs at Central.  As the mini-bus is faster than the big bus and it uses the short-cut, Magazine Gap Road, it is more efficient than the bus.  

However, as it can only accommodate 16 passengers, the mini buses are often full.

'Bus route No 11', ON FOOT

In the past, people in Hong Kong called 'walking' as 'taking bus route No 11'!  

There is a footpath next to the Garden Road Cable Car Terminal.  People can take 'bus route No 11' to go to the Peak from there.  

During the walk, you can see the skyscrapers and flora and fauna.  It takes only about two hours to walk to the Peak Tower! 

If you don't have enough preparation and energy, please don't choose this option.
