What are the scenic spots in Hong Kong that are suitable for children?

If you have time, you should visit some outlying islands in Hong Kong. In the past, mainland people's tourism activities in Hong Kong were concentrated in the prosperous areas of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. In fact, in addition to the main attractions such as the Peak and Ocean Park, as well as shopping and food, Hong Kong's outlying island customs with different styles also have charming charm.

Cheung chau island: A fishing village full of traditional charm.

An island off the southwest coast of Hong Kong Island. Many years ago, Hong Kong was just a small fishing village. But today's Hong Kong is already a prosperous international metropolis, and it has lost sight of the past. It is in this cheung chau island that the rich fishing village customs can be continued.

Starting from the Central Ferry Pier by boat, the high-rise buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour have gradually become a distant background. About 45 minutes later, the ferry arrived at Cheung Chau Pier. Walking out of the dock, I saw shops, restaurants and holiday house reception stations lined up on the north and south waterfront street, which reflected that the island was playing the role of a holiday resort. Cars, battery cars in nursing homes and other special vehicles are prohibited on the island. The main means of transportation is bicycles. It is recommended to travel around the island by bike.

Cheung Chau is really a small island. It extends from north to south, shaped like a dumbbell, with two big ends and a small middle. The mountains in the north are desolate, and the only thing worth mentioning is the North Pavilion. It is the tallest building on the island and the best position overlooking the whole island and surrounding waters. The southern mountainous area is lush and beautiful, and a path runs through Shan Ye. Locals call it "Le Jia Trail". Most islanders live in the central area. The terrain here is low and narrow. From the seaport in the west to the beach in the east, the narrowest place can be crossed in half a minute by bike. Guo Min Road, Dongwan Road, Xiao Xue Road, Beishe Street, Xinxing Street, Daxin Street and other major streets and lanes are criss-crossed with rows of houses in good order. Most of the houses along the street are small buildings with three floors, the second and third floors are balconies, and the bottom floors are restaurants or shops. The style and logo are very traditional.

The scenery in the north and south of cheung chau island is different, and the scenery on the east and west sides is also very different. Dongwan Beach is an ideal bathing beach, with different levels of holiday facilities such as Warwick Hotel and Miami Resort. Guanyin Bay, adjacent to Dongwan Beach, has been developed into a windsurfing water sports center.

As early as the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Changzhou was a famous deep-water fishing port. In the harbor on the west side of the island, the busy scene of interwoven sails has been maintained for more than 100 years.

Traffic Tip: Take Exit A of Central Station of the subway, walk on the footbridge, follow the sign of "Ferry Wharf for All Lines Inside and Outside Hong Kong", arrive at Ferry Pier No.5 in Central, and take the ferry to cheung chau island. Ferry boats are divided into ordinary boats and fast boats. The sailing time of ordinary boats is about 45 minutes, and that of speedboats is about 30 minutes. The deluxe seat fare of ordinary ship is 65438 Hong Kong dollars +06.8. Visitors can go to the stern deck to see the sea view.

Highlights of the tour: There are many bicycle rental points on Shui 'an Street, which are rented by the hour and rented by the whole time. The hourly rent is HK$ 10 to HK$ 15, and the full-day rent is HK$ 30 to HK$ 40. It is suggested to travel around the island by bike first, and then focus on visiting the central residential area, the southern mountainous area and the east and west bays.

Lamma Island: Quiet and Leisure European Style

For fans, Lamma Island is the hometown of Chow Yun Fat. Chow Yun Fat's nickname is "puppy". Every time he returns to the island, familiar neighbors will warmly welcome him: "puppy, you are back!" " For tourists, Lamma Island is not only filled with quiet and leisurely European customs, but also has irresistible charm for its winding coastline, large and small beaches, headlands, mountains, undulating Le Jia trails, cottages hidden in the depths of dense forests, and raw seafood from open-air wineries.

Lamma Island is the third largest island in Hong Kong, with an area of 13.6 square kilometers and a population of 10000. The environment here is beautiful, the air is fresh, there are no cars, no noise and exhaust gas. Because of this, in recent years, Rong Shu Bay on Lamma Island has attracted many foreigners to live in Hong Kong, forming a cultural landscape of Huayang.

Banyan Tree Bay is a prosperous village in the north of Lamma Island. On both sides of the narrow street are Chinese restaurants, western restaurants, Southeast Asian food shops and bars with different styles, as well as some handicraft shops with nice names, such as Tsinghua residents, traveling around the world and unruly farmers. From Banyan Bay to the south, we walk past country houses, and in front of us is Henglang Village, the birthplace of Chow Yun Fat, where Chow Yun Fat's ancestral home and alma mater, the public primary school in the northern section of Lamma Island, are located. At the corner of the south of Henglang Village, there is a simple shop made of iron, wood and canvas. On the signboard, the words "Grandma Douhua" are written impressively. Hiding in the ceiling under the scorching sun, I tasted this famous grandma tofu and found that its conception and materials were completely different from those of Jiangnan tofu. Tender tofu with ice, ginger juice and yellow sugar is slightly sweet, cool and delicious, and quenches thirst. It's no wonder that grandma's tofu pudding can last for more than 20 years. After tasting grandma's tofu brain, you can go to Hongshengye Beach not far away. The beach is not big, but it is quiet and beautiful.

Traffic Tip: There is a ferry at Pier 4 in Central which can reach Rong Shu Bay or Stéphanie Sokolinsk Bay. There are many flights, and it is convenient to go back and forth. The sailing time is 30 minutes and 40 minutes respectively.

Tourist highlights: Banyan Bay and Hongshengye Beach are the must-see places for tourists. Hongshengye Beach has a free dressing room and shower room. I suggest going to the seaside more often, and I will feel special naturally. Le Jia Trail runs from Banyan Bay to Sawyer Bay, and the walking time is about 1 hour. If you are interested, you can also take another Le Jia Trail, which takes about 25 minutes. There are beautiful scenery along the way, and you can overlook Ocean Park, Repulse Bay and Stanley across the sea.

Lantau Island: The Blending of History and Modernity

The three outlying islands in Hong Kong have their own characteristics. Cheung chau island is full of China's traditional culture, Lamma Island is full of European customs, and Lantau Island embodies the blending of history and modernity.

Lantau Island is the largest island in Hong Kong, with an area equivalent to two Hong Kong islands. Take a bus from Tung Chung to Ngong Ping, where the trees are lush and the mountains are rolling. The tour guide pointed to two peaks in the distance and said that they were Phoenix Mountain and Dadong Mountain.

Phoenix Mountain at an altitude of 934 meters and Dadong Mountain at an altitude of 869 meters are the second and third highest peaks in Hong Kong. Under the steep hillside is a green coastal valley, which maintains the original natural features. There are many headlands and bays on the south coast, and Changsha Beach, the longest beach in Hong Kong. The northern coast is a typical estuary delta, with salt water streams and mangrove mudflats everywhere. Yellow Pearl River water and blue sea water meet at the southwest distributary angle, forming a unique landscape.

In Hong Kong, the ecological environment of Lantau Island is rare, and its history and culture are equally precious. Archaeological findings show that the footprints of ancestors appeared here very early. In the Tang Dynasty, Lantau Island was connected with Guangdong waterway and developed rapidly. During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, a fort was set up on Lantau Island, and then the Tung Chung Fort and Tung Chung Castle were built. 1993, the Giant Buddha of the Temple of Heaven at Muyu Peak in Ngong Ping was completed and opened, becoming the most representative religious and cultural landscape in Hong Kong, attracting many good men and women and Chinese and foreign tourists.

Lantau Island has become modern again. Hong Kong International Airport is located at Chek Lap Kok in the north of Lantau Island. Tsing Ma Bridge connecting Lantau Island and Kowloon is a world-famous double-deck cable-stayed three-tower highway and railway suspension bridge. Disneyland is also located on Lantau Island.

Between history and modernity, some residents of Lantau Island are also facing new choices. Tai 'ao Village, located on the north shore of Lantau Island, is an island fishing village with a strong water town style. It is famous for its well-preserved diaojiao building (locally called "high-legged diaolou"). The dilapidated diaojiao building is waiting for municipal renovation. I wonder if this unique residential building can still maintain its traditional style.

The river course in Tai 'ao Village extends in a zigzag shape. At that end, it is the entrance of Tai 'ao Village, and this sea is the famous Lingdingyang.

Traffic tip: Take the subway or bus to Tung Chung, and then transfer to the bus to go to various tourist spots. Tung Chung is close to the Hong Kong International Airport and is a transit point for Lantau tourism. Mui Wo, Tai O and Ngong Ping can be reached by bus from Tung Chung, which takes about 45 minutes. Visitors who like to take the sea ferry can also take the ferry at Pier 6 in Central to Mui Wo, and then transfer to various tourist spots.

Highlights: cheung chau island and Lamma Island are relatively small, so you can enjoy yourself in one day. However, Lantau Island has a large area and many sightseeing contents, so it is impossible to travel all over the island in one day. The main tourist spots on Lantau Island include the Temple of Heaven Buddha, Tung Chung, Tai O Village, Changsha Beach, Southwest Shunkou and Mui Wo. Each tourist spot is relatively independent and has different styles. Visitors can choose different routes according to their personal preferences.
