What are the scenic spots to visit in Hong Kong?

Victoria Harbour is a seaport between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula. Because Hong Kong is a natural harbor with a wide area and deep water, it has the reputation of "Pearl of the Orient", "Three Natural Harbor in the World" and "Three Night Scenes in the World".

Star Ferry:

It provides cross-sea passenger service in Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, shuttling between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula. It is a famous means of transportation in Hong Kong with a long history. Together with the Hong Kong tram (poisonous car) and the peak cable car on Taiping Mountain, it is also a means of transportation with a long history of 100 years. Taking the Star Ferry is one of the best and cheapest sightseeing tours in Hong Kong. It is also one of the first choices for tourists to visit Victoria Harbour. At present, the 12 internal combustion engines of the Star Ferry fleet all adopt the traditional double-ended design, the hull color is half white and half green, and there are four stars on the chimney at the top of the ship as decoration. Their names all have the word "star".

Star Ferry Terminal:

Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui: Located at the southern tip of Kowloon Peninsula, it provides two ferry routes from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central or Wan Chai. The bell tower of the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Station, the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Space Museum are all located near the Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui. The night view of Star Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui is a hot spot for sightseeing.

Star Ferry Pier in Central: Located in Central, Hong Kong Island, it is a part of central ferry piers. Provides two ferry routes between Star Ferry Pier and Hung Hom Ferry Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui. At present, Star Ferry calls at Pier 7 in Central (used by the route to and from Tsim Sha Tsui) and Pier 8 in Central (used by the route to and from Hung Hom and the Tsim Sha Tsui East route operated by Haiyou Ferry). The original site is in the demolished Edinburgh Square Pier.

Cable car, also known as cable car, is a kind of mountaineering railway: a car similar to a tram, tied with a cable and dragged on a steep track. The power device of the cable car is placed in the station, and the machine on the car is very simple, which is very suitable for climbing very inclined slopes.

The lion pavilion in Taiping Mountain attracts tourists to watch the scenery of Hong Kong from there. Taiping Mountain is one of the major tourist attractions in Hong Kong, attracting more than 6 million Hong Kong people and foreign tourists every year. The peak is not only a shopping center, but also a clear view of Central, Victoria Harbour and Kowloon on the other side, which is very popular among citizens and tourists. In addition, because many British people settled here in the early years, there are also many historical buildings here, such as the Lion Pavilion.

Laochenting

The first argument is that it is foolish for tourists to climb the sightseeing pavilion at the top of Taiping Mountain just to see the scenery.

The second statement comes from a sentence in the 1950 s: "The old lining in Hong Kong is dead, and there is no sun", and "There are countless old lining on the top of Taiping Mountain". Visitors can see many stupid people overlooking the scenery under the Taiping Mountain in the pavilion (that is, "Old Lizi");

As the saying goes, old relatives (in-laws, "in-laws" are pronounced the same as "Lining" in Cantonese) stand in the old Lining Pavilion, looking for future old relatives. Cantonese is called "Old Relatives" (commonly known as "Old Lizi"), so this building is called "Old Lizi Pavilion" by the media and citizens.

It is worth mentioning that some people in Chinese mainland and Taiwan Province Province confuse the old Lining Pavilion with the Lion Pavilion, which was designed by China and donated by the Lions Club at the top of the tower.

Tsim Sha Tsui includes Jordan, King's Park, Yau Ma Tei, Mong Kok, Prince Edward and Tai Kok Tsui.

Tsim Sha Tsui (also known as Tsim Sha Tsui, formerly known as Tsim Sha Tsui Head, formerly known as Xiangbutou; English: Tsim Sha Tsui is the main tourist and shopping area in Kowloon. There are also many museums and entertainment centers in this area, and restaurants and bars are also quite prosperous. Some young people in Hong Kong call Tsim Sha Tsui "sharp" or "old sharp".
