When I was young, my dreams were small, and traveling was just a beautiful dream at that time, imagining all kinds of beauty on the road. As I grew up, I gradually came into contact with all kinds of novel things, and I also had a certain economic foundation, so I started the dusty journey. Since I embarked on the road of poor travel with a scholarship during college, I have been out of control, and now I have traveled to many places at home and abroad, and I like the feeling of walking around. I believe that I will persist in the future, keep walking on the road of travel, travel to all corners of the world, and see all the prosperity of the world ~ Impression. Hong Kong
Hong Kong, the English name of Hong Kong, is a bustling international metropolis, mainly composed of three major regions: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, and the New Territories. This is a very inclusive modern metropolis, where people from more than 120 countries gather here. You can see people of all races and skin colors on the street, which is very energetic and charming.
When I came to Hong Kong for the first time, my first impression was not very good. The narrow streets were full of crowds. I fell in love with it until I witnessed the bustling and lively night of Victoria Harbour. Walk leisurely on the viewing platform, blowing the cool Hong Kong wind, and a wonderful laser light show on time every night, embellishing the night sky of the Pearl of the Orient dazzlingly, known as one of the three most beautiful night scenes in the world. Due to the history, culture and unique charm of Hong Kong, it has attracted a group of tourists from home and abroad to visit.
The most charming side of Hong Kong must be the sultry night. Whether it is overlooking the watermark neon lights from the Victoria Harbor, or overlooking the lights of thousands of houses from the top of the Victoria Peak, this high and low concrete forest fades away the indifferent camouflage of the day and emits the enthusiasm of the night. This is the real face of Hong Kong
Hong Kong | Meitu Preview
According to the usual practice, first come to the Meitu preview, friends who like it, please give it a thumbs up, okay~
For this trip to Hong Kong, we chose to take the high-speed rail directly to Hong Kong West Kowloon, Hong Kong West Kowloon station, the top shape is very unique, beautiful and atmospheric, and the lighting is excellent.
In West Kowloon Station, you can go to many subway stations. The transportation in Hong Kong is very convenient. Many subways basically cover the whole of Hong Kong, and it is very convenient to go anywhere. It's just that there are so many subway exits, so pay more attention to the signs. There may be different subway exits upstairs and downstairs.
After leaving the station, the first building complex you see
In 1881, the former Marine Police Headquarters turned gorgeously into a new landmark
The Hong Kong Cultural Center is next to the Victoria Harbour. The cultural center is brightly lit at night, which is also a special taste.
The beautiful night view of Victoria Harbour, you will fall in love with it at a glance. This is one of the best places to witness the bustling and lively Hong Kong.
The building next to the Hong Kong Cultural Center, I really like the colorful weaving nets in front of the building. During the day, it is an ordinary colorful weaving net, and at night it becomes a gorgeous lantern. The whole building belongs to the European style, very luxurious.
Against the backdrop of lights and fountains, the shape of the entire plant is particularly eye-catching, and I couldn't help but stop and pat it.
I liked the style of the door of a shop I passed by, so I asked my fellow lady to take a group photo haha
The Yau Ma Tei subway station has arrived
Path to Ping Shek Village
Pingshi Village, the beauty of heaven
Rainbow Village, a small and fresh place, is basically a must-see for every photographer who comes to Hong Kong.
Yau Ma Tei Police Station
I took a photo with the police badge, but unfortunately I didn’t meet the handsome Hong Kong Sir~
It is still the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, and behind it is the corridor of the police station
The graffiti wall of a store in Central Street is very interesting!
I can't understand the specific meaning of graffiti, but I know it's suitable for taking pictures haha
Attracted by the works of art in the shop windows on the side of the road, I couldn't help stopping to take a photo.
This is Graffiti Jiaxiang Street in Central. It is said that there are a lot of idiots and idiots who come here to check in, but there are actually not many murals here.
I met two Korean ladies on Graham Street, one of whom spoke Chinese very fluently, so I thought she was Chinese.

1881 Heritage|Former Marine Police Headquarters, turned gorgeously into a new landmark
1881 Heritage, referred to as 1881, is located at No. 2 Canton Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It is only one street away from the Hong Kong Cultural Center, Hong Kong Space Museum and Hong Kong Museum of Art, and adjacent to Kowloon Park, MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station, ferry terminal and bus terminal. The transportation is very convenient. The current site of "1881" was formerly the Hong Kong Marine Police Headquarters. The appearance is classical and grand, and it got its name because it was built in 1881.
The former Marine Police Headquarters is mainly composed of five buildings, including the main building of the former Marine Police Headquarters, the former stables, the former Time Ball Tower, the former Kowloon Fire Station and the former Kowloon Fire Station dormitory. The building is designed in Victorian style and full of colonial colors. It was listed as a statutory monument by the Hong Kong government in 1994 and has important historical significance. Therefore, the developer specially named it 【1881 Heritage】.
This 120-year-old historical building has now become a new landmark of cultural tourism and leisure in Hong Kong. There are 20 famous stores, an exhibition hall and a historic hotel. Most of the merchants are world-renowned brands. Unique style, there are many high-end restaurants. The main building of the former Marine Police Headquarters is now a hotel. The garden platform on the third floor will be decorated differently according to festivals, and the view from the garden platform is pretty good.
Photography/Xiamen Airlines style
On a rainy night, the lights are bright, and the whole building exudes a charming brilliance, which makes people like it.
A corner of 1881
The shop on the first floor of 1881, BALENCIAGA, is also one of the world's famous brands.
In front of 1881 is a large square with a fountain beside it. The night view of 1881 is still worth seeing.
【Traffic Tips】
MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit E, walk to Salisbury Road and turn right, take the pedestrian tunnel next to Hong Kong YMCA.
Victoria Harbor | bustling harbor, beautiful night view
Victoria Harbor is a must-see for all those who travel to Hong Kong. Whether it is daytime or black, it feels like a big movie at any time. Victoria Harbor, referred to as Victoria Harbor for short, is a seaport located between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It is the largest port in Asia and the third largest port in the world. Victoria Harbor is the filming location of "Transformers 4", and many movie fans will also come here to check in. Victoria Harbor is also the best place to witness the bustling Hong Kong.
Hong Kong has the reputation of the world's three major night scenes, and the night view of Victoria Harbor occupies a pivotal position in Hong Kong. There is an endless stream of tourists coming to Victoria Harbor every day, and the night view of Victoria Harbor is more charming than that during the day. There is also a large-scale light and music show of "A Symphony of Lights" at 8 o'clock every night, and many foreign tourists will come in advance to occupy the best viewing spots. We came to Hong Kong for the first time, of course we can't miss this beautiful night scene. Victoria Harbor has appeared countless times in Hong Kong TVB, and it is also the main venue for fireworks displays in Hong Kong.
There are many high-rise buildings on the shore, and the beautiful lights and gorgeous night are really charming.
The night view of Victoria Harbor is so beautiful and romantic, it makes people linger and forget to leave~
To appreciate the night view of Victoria Harbour, in addition to stopping to watch on the shore, or strolling on the platform, you can also choose to take the Star Ferry, cruise ships, etc. Boat tours are also a good experience.
This is the cruise ship in Victoria Harbour, and the riding experience is better after dark.
The Victoria Harbor at night is really wonderful, the lights are gorgeous, the lights are bright, and the breeze is blowing, it feels very comfortable.

Here is the clock tower. In front of the clock tower, there is a two-story coastal long profile, which is an excellent location to watch the night view of Victoria Harbor and the harbor. The Star Ferry Pier and the Clock Tower were once one of the famous landmarks in Central, and they are also the collective memories of Hong Kong people.
Tsim Sha Tsui Clock Tower, a representative building in Tsim Sha Tsui, is located on the edge of Victoria Harbour. The clock tower was originally the clock tower of the former Kowloon-Canton Railway, built in 1915 in the Kowloon Railway Station, 45 meters high. Later, the Kowloon Railway Station was relocated, and the clock tower was the only preserved building, indicating that it was the starting point of the Kowloon-Canton Railway.
Strolling along the coastal promenade at night, sometimes stopping to watch the night view of the harbor, is a good place for a date.
The first floor of the seaside promenade is the partner creative market, an open performance venue, where orchestras and artists often perform.
This is indeed a good place for performances. The background is the beautiful night view of Victoria Harbour. All kinds of wonderful performances make tourists mesmerized.
The little sister who sang has a beautiful singing voice. She speaks Hong Kong, but sings in Chinese.
I'm already intoxicated by Miss Sister's singing~
Another music group, named Moonrise Sunset, I like the name.

Hong Kong Cultural Center|Repetitive triangular shape, with great aesthetic characteristics
Hong Kong Cultural Center, a modern performing arts center, is popular on the Internet because of its sloping corridor appearance, and its repeated triangular composition is very picturesque. The weather is good and the sun passes through the sloping pillars. It will form a very aesthetic light and shadow.
The completion and opening of the Hong Kong Cultural Center has opened a new page in Hong Kong's culture and art. The slope-like appearance makes it easy to recognize, and the biggest feature is "no windows", which means "the performance inside is judged by the audience themselves" during the design. The former site of the Hong Kong Cultural Center is the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Terminus. Although the station has disappeared, the clock tower built in 1915 is still preserved. The clock tower, which is a "first-class historic building" in Hong Kong, still clocks the time every day.
The back of the Hong Kong Cultural Center faces the Victoria Harbour. Sitting on the steps of the Cultural Center, you can also enjoy the beautiful and wonderful light and music show.
The sloping corridors form triangles. Although they are repeated, they give people a unique aesthetic feeling.
The Hong Kong Cultural Center is adjacent to the Space Museum, both of which are on the edge of Victoria Harbour. The building behind the clock tower along the sea is the Cultural Center. The main entrance of the Cultural Center is on Salisbury Road. Queuing to get in is fun.
Various art performances are held here from time to time. It is said that the most amazing thing in the cultural center is the world's largest pipe organ. We passed by at night, and those who have time may wish to know the visiting time of the Hong Kong Cultural Center in advance.
The figurines are not very fine, they belong to the rough and abstract beauty.
The building directly opposite the Hong Kong Cultural Center has a very European style appearance.
In the square next to the Hong Kong Cultural Center, the entire fountain design is fresh and elegant, which is eye-catching.
【Traffic Tips】
1. MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit L6 or J, or Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit E; 2. Take the Star Ferry from Central or Wan Chai to Tsim Sha Tsui, the boat journey is about 10 minutes, and you will arrive immediately after disembarking.
Rainbow Village|Small and fresh check-in place, waiting for you to go to the stadium after class
Rainbow Village, one of the early public housing estates in Hong Kong, is located in Wong Tai Sin District, Kowloon. Rainbow Village, as its name suggests, the exterior walls here are painted in seven colors, like a rainbow, attracting many tourists to come here for various small and fresh creations.
The Rainbow Village in many Internet celebrity photos is mostly bright and beautiful. For me, meeting is not as famous as meeting. The color of the outer wall is a light color, which needs to be modified by filters. The best seat in Rainbow Village is on the third floor of the parking lot. When you climb up to the top floor, you can see a colorful basketball court, and the exterior walls of the surrounding buildings are also painted in colorful colors.
It was almost noon when we came here, and there are still many people who come here to take pictures, and it is not easy to find a better location. It is recommended that girls who want to come here to take beautiful photos come as soon as possible, otherwise either the background is full of people, in various concave shapes, or it will take more time in post-production.
The adjacent Rainbow MRT Station is also named after Rainbow Village
It is not easy to take beautiful photos here, you need to find various angles.
The most eye-catching here is the colorful exterior wall
After you get out of class, let's go to the court to play together~
【Traffic Tips】
MTR Choi Hung Village Station Exit C4, turn around after exiting the station. Friends who do not have a strong sense of direction can find a passerby to ask. Because it is a place where Internet celebrities check in, many Hong Kong residents know it. At the beginning, we didn't find a place, but the younger brother from Hong Kong took the initiative to point us in the direction, and immediately became more fond of Hong Kong people.
Pingshi Village | Architectural Aesthetics, A Tale of Heaven
Ping Shek Village, like Rainbow Village, is an early public housing estate in Hong Kong. For those who like architectural aesthetics like me, Pingshi Village is also a place not to be missed. Ping Shek Village, where hundreds of the most ordinary families in Hong Kong live, each floor has many rooms, and the distance between each room is not large, which makes people feel crowded and depressed. In Hong Kong, a huge city, for ordinary people at the bottom, there are reinforced concrete, high-rise buildings, luxury houses and sports cars everywhere, and more magical realism, even the sound of breathing is particularly abrupt.
Pingshi Village is unique in its square structure, which makes people feel like they are in a square courtyard. Shot from bottom to top, it is really shocking, very similar to a word "mouth", with square rings next to it, quiet and mysterious. But after watching for a long time, it is easy for people to have the illusion of "sitting on the sky", which gives people a strong sense of depression. Overall, the buildings in Pingshi Village are indeed very architecturally beautiful, with beautiful lines, symmetry, simplicity, and rules~
The best camera position in Pingshi Village is inside the residential building, the upward shooting is in the public area of the residents, and the downward shooting needs to enter the top floor of the residential building. We follow the residents to enter, but there are two kinds of stairs here, one is only to the middle floor, and the other is from the middle floor to the top floor, and you need to climb stairs to transfer.
As soon as you exit the station, you will see the street sign of Pingshi Village. The whole Pingshi village is divided into diamond building, jade building, gold stone building, blue stone building, yellow stone building, red stone building, emerald stone building, etc. The names here are a bit interesting.
This is a Catholic Primary School in Pingshi Village, located in Pingshi Village. In Hong Kong, you can often come across schools named after religion, which is related to Hong Kong's strong inclusiveness.
Next to the elementary school is a sky bridge leading to the church behind the school building
There is a church behind you. The majority of religious believers in Hong Kong may require faith in life, so you won't be too sad.

Shooting upwards on the rooftop on the first floor, the overlapping squares give people a unique aesthetic feeling, and because it is a residential area, there are few tourists, and it looks very solemn.
The effect of upward shooting is stronger than the visual impact of downward shooting. If it is sunny, the shooting effect will be better.
From the angle of shooting down from the 21st floor, if you use a mobile phone to shoot, you must pay attention to it, and don't stick out the railing easily.
When shooting the entire square building from above, I still prefer the deep feeling of shooting from above.
Ping Shek Village is not a tourist attraction, but a public housing estate. When entering a residential building for filming and viewing, one must keep quiet and keep a low profile, so as not to disturb the lives of the residents here. If you encounter the property in Pingshi Village, you may be asked to leave, so you must keep a low profile.
【Tips】
Like Rainbow Village, exit at Exit A2 of MTR Choi Hung Station, follow the signs, and you will see the conspicuous Ping Shek Village road sign as soon as you exit.
Rainbow Village and Pingshi Village are very close to each other, and they can be punched together in the route arrangement.
Yau Ma Tei Police Station | TVB gangster film classic filming location, here I come
Yau Ma Tei Police Station, for fans of TVB dramas, this is definitely a place that must not be missed, and a pilgrimage is a must. Yau Ma Tei Police Station, located at No. 627, Canton Road, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong, is an Edwardian-style three-story small western-style building, surrounded by three retro colors of blue, gray and white, with super high value.
Today's Yau Ma Tei Police Station has been discontinued. This building built in 1893 condenses too many memories of Hong Kong movie fans. It was the holy place for Hong Kong gangster movies in the 1970s and 1980s. Aberdeen", "Half a Cigarette", "Infernal Affairs", "Death Gold", Hong Kong drama "Negotiation Expert" and "Sister Tuoqiang" were all filmed here.
Yau Ma Tei - The subway station is here
On the way to the Yau Ma Tei Police Station, I met Ji Dao Primary School. The overall building of the school has a special appearance and is particularly conspicuous.
This police station that TVB fans miss is right in front of them. I'm a little excited. Let's relive the classic feelings.
The main entrance of the Yau Ma Tei Police Station is in the shape of a semi-circular pavilion. The building is beautiful and very suitable for taking pictures~
I took a photo with the Yau Ma Tei Police Station. The only regret is that I didn’t meet the handsome Hong Kong Sir, so I will come to check in next time haha
Do you remember the address of the police station that Miss Sister pointed out to you?
The police station is more solemn during the day
It was almost dark when I came here, and the light was not very good, so I couldn't take pictures of the beauty of the light shining through the corridor.
There is also a police station tablet on the side of the road, with relevant introductions of the police station.
【Traffic Tips】
Take Exit C of Yau Ma Tei MTR Station, walk along Nathan Road, go to Wing Sing Lane to Zhongfang Street, turn left at Canton Road Crossing, about 5 minutes. Today's Yau Ma Tei Police Station no longer handles business and is only used as a reporting center. It is said that after seven o'clock in the evening, a handsome and stylish Hong Kong Sir will appear to perform the ceremony of lowering the flag. It's a pity that we didn't wait for the appearance of Ah Sir in Hong Kong.
Chungking Mansions|Chongqing forest is full of fog
When it comes to Chongqing Mansions, many people may think of Wong Kar Wai's "Chongqing Forest". This is the place where Tony Leung and Faye Wong have acted. Chungking Mansions, located in the bustling area of Tsim Sha Tsui, is just one of thousands of buildings in Hong Kong. It is ordinary and old, but it is very well-known in Hong Kong, which is similar to that of Chungking Mansions.
Some people say that Chungking Mansions is Hong Kong's "United Nations Building". People from more than 120 countries have lived here, and it is the focus of Hong Kong's globalization. Chungking Mansions was selected as "the best example of global integration in Asia" and the place that best reflects the multicultural characteristics of Hong Kong.
At the same time, Chungking Mansions is known as "the weirdest building in Hong Kong". Chungking Mansions occupies the most convenient transportation location in Tsim Sha Tsui, but it is one of the cheapest places to stay in Hong Kong. In contrast, some people escaped from the Chungking Mansions hotel late at night. Chungking Mansions seems to be like a forest, full of mist, you need to pay special attention here, fish and dragons are mixed.
【Traffic Tips】
No. 36-44 Dun Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong, take the MTR and get off at Tsim Sha Tsui Station, and you will arrive at Exit E.
Graham Street | A graffiti wall with Hong Kong characteristics
When it comes to graffiti walls in Hong Kong, many people's first impression is Graham Street. Graham Street is located in Central, which is the financial heart of Hong Kong. The streets with high-rise buildings and the endless flow of luxury cars are full of modern atmosphere.
Graham Street, the graffiti wall with the old Hong Kong style, is also a must-go photo spot for Internet celebrities. Whether it is still or walking to take pictures, the pictures are very interesting, very small and fresh. The reason why it has become an internet celebrity photo spot is probably because its color picture is good, and it can produce good results no matter how you shoot it. No matter the front, side, the same side, or diagonally, you can find a good angle, and the pictures are small and fresh. Photo.
Graham Street is located in an alley. The road is very narrow and the slope is very steep, all of which are uphill. In addition, there are a lot of passing vehicles, and the best camera position is on the opposite side of the road. Try not to stand in the middle of the road to take pictures, and a car often drives out suddenly at the corner. There is also an open-air market on Graham Street, which is said to be one of the oldest open-air markets. Small vendors on the street display all kinds of things, and the markets on both sides of the stairs along the uphill are unique.
Going to Graham Street, there are tall buildings on both sides, and the road is very narrow, giving people a very depressing feeling.
Passing by Tsui Wah Restaurant, I ate there once, but it was not this one, it was at Wong Tai Sin North Court. There are many choices of dishes, and the taste is also very good.
On the periphery of a restaurant, the murals on the wall are very suitable for the occasion and quite distinctive.
Photography/Xiamen Airlines Style
This mural is a series of comics, not the content of the comics themselves, but the cute cartoon characters in the comics.
What are you thinking about, miss?
The streets in Hong Kong are mostly like this, very narrow and crowded, it can only be said that every inch of land in Hong Kong is expensive.
The mailboxes in Hong Kong are different from those in mainland China. They are tall and large, and seem a bit bulky.
Miss Sister's casual style
After walking for a while, I found that I hadn’t reached Graham Street yet, so I took a few photos on the street hahaha
I saw the sign on Graham Street~
The real Graham Street murals are here. When you get here, you will find that a small piece of graffiti wall really attracts many tourists.
Photography/Xiamen Airlines style
I came here just to pat, pat, there is no other task haha
The murals on Graham Street vividly depict the style of the market and are very down-to-earth.
Hong Kong trip, the first photo with Miss Sister haha
Graham Street murals have always been a popular place for tourists to check in. The theme of the murals is the famous Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong. There are many people who come here to take pictures, almost causing traffic jams. If you want to take the pictures you want, you need to be patient and wait for the opportunity.
【Traffic Tips】
Exit D2 of Central MTR Station is the closest to Tuya Street, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.
【Hong Kong Highlights】
In addition to the previous tourist attractions, there are some tidbits~
Hong Kong West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station, I really like the design on the top of the high speed rail station, it is tall and beautiful
Walking out of the West Kowloon High Speed Rail Station, through the glass window, I took an exterior scene
Going to Harbor City, the shopping mall I met, I really like this kind of dreamy decoration.
Hong Kong Beijing Road
High-rise buildings everywhere in Hong Kong
Hong Kong roadside shops
rainbow station
Hong Kong subway station
The children's flexibility is very good.
The Christian Building in Hong Kong belongs to the Wangjue Church of the Christian Church.
[Food Articles] Hong Kong Food Recommendations
Hong Kong is known as a gourmet paradise, characterized by the fusion of Chinese and Western, all-inclusive. There are not only Hong Kong-style tea restaurants, food stalls and tea house dim sum, but also gourmet and special creative dishes from all over the world, as well as roadside stalls "sweeping the street" and high-end restaurants. As long as you are willing to take a few steps, you will definitely find the food you want to eat. However, most of the delicacies from all over the world have been slowly "Hong Kongized" in the past few decades. They may not be authentic, but the taste is still good.
When you come to Hong Kong for a trip, you must try the authentic food of Hong Kong. The delicacies we checked in this time include Tsui Wah Restaurant (durian and pineapple buns are highly recommended), Central Cha Kee (scrambled eggs with thick toast), DELI AND WINE (fresh tomato baked pork chop rice), Wang Kee Ice Room (signature satay beef ).
【DELI AND WINE (Hong Kong Cultural Center Store)】
Coordinates: No. 10 Salisbury Road, Hong Kong Cultural Center Restaurant Building
Take the West Rail Line of the subway to Exit L6 of East Tsim Sha Tsui Station and walk for two minutes.
The entrance of the DELI AND WINE restaurant cannot be seen as a restaurant from the outside.
Fried rice with scallops, full of flavor and color, I like the crunchy fish roe~
Fresh Tomato Baked Pork Chop Rice, the portion is large, the tomato flavor is very strong, the cheese flavor is very strong, and the taste is great.
The first meal in Hong Kong, let's start~
【Wang Kee Ice Room】
Coordinates: G/F, Kowloon Center Building, 29-39 Ashley Road, Tsim Sha Tsui
This is a tea restaurant, the store is not big, but there are many people who come here to eat. There were a lot of people queuing up when I first arrived, and I thought it would be a long wait, but they turned over the tables very quickly, so I took some pictures around and waited in line.
The menu of Wang Kee Ice Room, in Hong Kong, many restaurants will place the menu under the glass plate on the table, and the customer can directly order and report to the clerk when they sit down. There is also a large menu posted at the door, which is convenient for customers to choose dishes while waiting.
Yuanyang milk tea, the milk tea in Hong Kong is a bit bitter, not very used.
Thick toast wrapped in fresh butter and wheat. Many restaurants have this dish. The recipe is similar, but the taste is still different. The toast in this restaurant is toasted just right, fragrant and crispy, and served with scrambled eggs, it is super delicious.
Chicken soup abalone and ham shredded pasta, the taste is relatively light, and the pasta is a little crunchy.
Satay beef noodles, the beef is average, and the noodles are stronger.
【Australian Milk Company (Jordan Store)】
Coordinates: 47 Parkes Street, Jordan, Exit C2, Jordan MTR Station.
This Australian milk company in Hong Kong is very famous, and it is always full when it comes. I came here after reading a lot of strategies on the Internet, but I feel that it is just average. The tables in the store are relatively crowded, and there is one seat for one person. If you have a lot of things in your hands, you will feel that there is nowhere to put them, and it feels uncomfortable. Many tourists who check in because of their reputation order scrambled eggs on toast and egg white stewed with fresh milk.
Butter toast, the bread is burnt and crispy, and the butter is full of aroma.
There are two ways to stew egg whites with fresh milk, hot and cold. We ordered egg whites stewed with hot milk, which was too sweet and didn't feel very good.
【Cuihua Restaurant (Longcui Branch)】
Coordinates: Shop 04 and Shop 07, Lower Ground Floor, North Wing, Wong Tai Sin Center (near Wong Tai Sin Temple)
Transportation: MTR Wong Tai Sin Station Exit B1, walk for about 1 minute.
Tsui Wah Restaurant belongs to a chain restaurant. Hong Kong Tsui Wah Restaurant has a lot of dishes and is very complete, and the taste is very good. When you go to Hong Kong to taste food, Tsui Wah Restaurant is not to be missed.
Durian pineapple buns, the durian taste is very strong, and the skin of the pineapple buns is crispy, which is very good.
Shrimp roe and pearl wonton noodles, the dishes in the restaurant are all very delicate, the wonton skin is thin and stuffed, super delicious.
Tom Yum Boar Cartilage Slices of Rice Noodles, rich in ingredients, slightly spicy, taste great.
There is a booth at the entrance of Cuihua Restaurant, offering takeaways for customers, selling pineapple buns, egg tarts, etc.
【Central Tea Story】
Coordinates: Located at 64 Wellington Street, Central, Hong Kong, near Graham Street.
Central Tea Records, a very distinctive Hong Kong nostalgic tea restaurant, with a simple decoration style and old photos of Hong Kong hanging on the wall.
Price list hanging on the restaurant wall
The scrambled eggs are thick toast, the toast is not very thick, but the toast is crispy, and the scrambled eggs are also very tender.
Tomato Potato Minced Meat Soup Penne, the tomato taste is very strong, and the taste is okay.
【Internet and Currency】Hong Kong Communications and Currency Exchange
For Hong Kong Communications, you need to activate Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan international roaming, and you also need to activate Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan data. I ordered a mobile 3-day data package, the original price is 68 yuan, and the download of the Wuyouxing APP is only half price 34 yuan / 3 days.
Hong Kong uses Hong Kong dollars, which can be exchanged domestically, or withdraw cash from ATMs. I have personally tested that the exchange rate is good, and some handling fees will be deducted. It is recommended not to bring too much cash. In addition, many merchants do not accept 1,000 Hong Kong dollars. It is recommended to exchange for small denominations.
【Traffic Guide】Large traffic, small traffic and Octopus
1) Railway
Hong Kong West Kowloon Station was put into operation at the end of September 2018. It connects to mainland stations including Futian, Shenzhen North, Humen, and Guangzhou South; long-distance stations will connect to Beijing, Shanghai, Kunming, Guilin, Guiyang, Shijiazhuang, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, Changsha, Hangzhou, Nanchang, 14 cities including Fuzhou, Xiamen and Shantou.
2) aircraft
There are basically direct flights to Hong Kong International Airport from major cities across the country, and the fare is relatively more expensive than the high-speed rail.
We chose to take the high-speed rail directly to Hong Kong West Kowloon, Fuzhou/Putian/Quanzhou/Xiamen/Chaoshan/Shenzhen have direct high-speed rail to Hong Kong. Fujian Province (Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Xiamen, etc.) has direct high-speed rail to Hong Kong every day. Compared with airplanes, high-speed rail travel is the most cost-effective, Fuzhou-Hong Kong 5h35min; Quanzhou-Hong Kong 4h24min.
The transportation in Hong Kong mainly depends on the subway, railway, bus, tram and taxi. Buying an Octopus can basically cover all public transportation fees, which is simple and convenient.

[Accommodation] Talk about accommodation in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is small in size, and it can be described as an inch of land, so accommodation in Hong Kong will be more expensive than that in the mainland. The price of a small hotel is generally several hundred, and the price of a slightly better hotel is thousands. The hotel we stayed in this time was booked on Tujia B&B. Book early. It is located in Chungking Mansions. The location is good. It is located in the bustling area of Tsim Sha Tsui. It is very convenient for eating and shopping. The disadvantage is that the room size is small, which is related to the high cost of land in Hong Kong.

It is recommended to choose Causeway Bay or Tsim Sha Tsui.
There are many large shopping malls in Hong Kong. Here are a few highlights:
1) Harbor City - the largest and most famous shopping mall in Kowloon, including 4 shopping areas, more than 700 stores, more than 50 restaurants and 2 large cinemas.

2) SOGO Sogo Department Store opened on May 31, 1985, and its first branch is located in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. The Causeway Bay store is located at No. 555 Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Every year in May and November is the anniversary of SOGO, there will be big discounts, and it is really worth buying all kinds of big brands.
3) Longcheng Pharmacy, the legendary Hong Kong’s cheapest place to sell authentic cosmetics, is super cost-effective. The store is very ordinary and hard to find, and there are many copycat Dragon City pharmacies in Hong Kong, so you must distinguish them clearly. ·Dragon City Pharmacy is different from ordinary pharmacies. It sells both medicine and cosmetics. It is one of the must-see places in Hong Kong. ·There are not only cheap and easy-to-use cosmetics, but also mid-to-high-end cosmetics to meet the needs of different groups of people. Japanese brands such as Shiseido and Kanebo, which are familiar to the public, and European brands such as Elizabeth Arden and Clinique are all available. However, Longcheng Pharmacy does not accept credit cards and only accepts Hong Kong dollars (1,000 Hong Kong dollars can be accepted here, but basically not in other places), so you must prepare enough cash.

The L visa and the G visa can be said to be on an equal footing.

The 3 days and 2 nights trip to Hong Kong with my little sister is coming to an end~. Although the time is short, the memory in my heart is beautiful. It’s a pity that the time is too late this time. Victoria Peak, Hong Kong University, Monster Tower, and sky 100 Hong Kong Observation Deck have not yet arrived. I look forward to the next trip to Hong Kong and check in all the attractions I want to visit haha~
