A Brief History of United Kingdom


United kingdom travel visaThe United Kingdom has historically played a leading role in the development of parliamentary democracy and in the advancement of literature and science. At its height in the 19th century, the British Empire extended over a quarter of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the power of the United Kingdom seriously exhausted in two world wars and the Republic of Ireland withdrew from the union. The second half saw the dismantling of the Empire and the United Kingdom rebuilding into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, a founding member of NATO and the Commonwealth, the United Kingdom pursues a comprehensive approach to foreign policy. The United Kingdom is also an active member of the EU, although it has chosen to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union. Decentralization and constitutional reform have been major recent problems in the United Kingdom. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales and the Northern Ireland Assembly were created in 1999, but the latter was suspended until May 2007 due to disputes over the peace process.

Top 5 Must See Items at the Egyptian Museum


The Egyptian Museum is a magnet for many visitors to Cairo. 


There is no place like this - where else can you see so many Egyptian artifacts in one place? I love the Egyptian Museum, but I feel a commitment to make sure everyone knows the visit is not without challenges. The artifacts are not well marked - I can't imagine doing them without a guide or, at least, a guide. Guides can be reserved in the yard outside the museum - presumably "official", but I cannot confirm. Many hotels catering to Westerners can recommend guides, and you can also find guides through travel books.

The exhibits are arranged somewhat randomly, the lighting is not great, and billboards - if any - do not provide much information about the artifacts. And for the photo celebrities, I have bad news: cameras are not allowed inside the museum. You should check the cameras at a gate in the yard, and the bag inspection machine and security guards ensure that you cannot slip into them. Phones are allowed, but documents roam around in showrooms and can fine to take secret photos (or make you erase them).

But that entire aside, the museum is full of impressive artifacts from the ancient kingdom to the period of Roman rule.

Top 5 Must See Items At The Egyptian Museum:


(1) Mummy Rooms.
Image result for Mummy Rooms

The museum entry fee does not include visiting the mummy rooms, which cost an additional 100 pounds (about $ 15), but these rooms must be visited. Each mummy occupies its own temperature control box, and visitors can still see many features, including fingers, nails, teeth and hair. The best preserved mummy is probably the malignant Ramses II, who ruled for 67 years and fathered over 100 children. His long white hair (which may have been yellow during mummification) testifies to his age at his death.

(2) Cap-Aper Statue.
Image result for Cap-Aper Statue
This gorgeous wooden sycamore statue differs from anything else in the museum. The oldest priest in the ancient kingdom was charged with praying for the dead, and his lifelike eyes, made of copper, quartz and rock crystal, seem to stare at visitors. Ca 'Aper stands with his left foot in front of his right hand, a sign of strength and strength, and his round stomach - a sign of wealth - is covered in a straight skirt. Senior in room 42.

(3) Tut's Canes. 
Image result for Tut's Canes

Although he was still a teenager when he died, King Tut suffered from a number of ailments, including the club's foot, which necessitated the use of sticks. In the atrium outside the mask room, one of the cases displays over 100 reeds in Tut's tomb. The handles of many canes carved into the shapes of Egypt's enemies - the round African head cane are distinct in shape and features from Asian cane that has the shape of its beard and almond-shaped eyes.

 (4) Seneb Statue
Image result for Seneb Statue

In room 32, you can see a statue of Seneb and his happy family. If you look carefully, you will notice that Seneb was a dwarf, but the sculptor cleverly placed the sons of Seneb below to hide his short legs. Snape sits beside his affectionately-embraced wife.

(5) Tut Mask. 
Image result for Tut Mask

Most of the museum's upper floor is dedicated to treasures unearthed in the tomb of Tutankhamun. Among the most famous of these treasures, of course, is his death mask, which can be found in room 3. The back of the 11 kg pure gold mask shows simple wear, but the facade is almost perfect. Room 3 also contains some fine jewelry of blueberry and two coffins, one of which is made of pure gold and the other is gold-plated. Egyptologists seem to disagree over the killing of 19-year-old Tut, although we know from recent tests on his mummy that he has malaria.

Mochi Ice Cream Recipe


Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream Recipe


Prep time: 1 hour + 4 hours inactive
Cook time: 2 minutes, 30 seconds
Total time: 1 hour + 4 hours inactive
Yield: 6-8 large Mochi

Image result for Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream Recipe

Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream


Lately, I see ice cream Mochi popping up in some grocery stores and I'm addicted! I thought, why not make some at home and customize my own flavors? I love strawberries, but instead of using strawberry ice cream, I thought of putting freeze-dried strawberries into the Mochi dough. To keep the Asian theme, I used the flavors of Prairie West Can Asian ice cream (honey melon and peach lemongrass) for garnish. Ice cream Mochi are surprisingly simple to prepare. It takes a little patience while you wait for the ice cream to freeze as well as some cooking utensils. You will need saran wrap, a rolling pin, a spatula, a pastry brush, parchment paper, cupcake fillings and a muffin tin for this recipe.

Ingredients


  • ¾ cup sweet rice flour
  • ¾ cup water + 1 Tablespoon. water
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar 1 Tablespoon. Freeze dried strawberry powder
  • ½ cup corn starch
  • 2 cups of your favorite ice cream flavor. I used Prairie West Can Asian Honeydew Melon + Peach Lemongrass flavors to keep with the Asian theme.


Sometimes we talk about sticky rice flour. Do not use standard rice flour as it does not contain enough starch to stay together.

I found whole lyophilized strawberries and powdered them with pestle and mortar. You can omit the strawberry if you wish, but if you do, reduce the water used by 1 cup.

Directions


Image result for Strawberry Mochi Ice Cream Recipe

Place in the freezer for about 2 hours or until the gel is solid.
In a medium-sized microwaveable bowl, whisk together the sweet rice flour, sugar and freeze-dried strawberry powder. Pour in water and stir until everything is well mixed. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. You do not want the seal to be too tight, so leave a small section loose enough to let steam out. Microwave for one minute (1 min). Remove carefully (the bowl will be hot) and mix the mixture with a wet spatula.

Put back the saran wrap and go to the microwave for another minute. Remove from the microwave, stir again and repeat, but only for the last 30 seconds. The Mochi paste will be slightly translucent and very hot at this point, so handle it with care. If it has not become sticky dough, switch to the microwave for another 30 seconds.

Line a large work surface with parchment paper and generously sprinkle cornstarch parchment. Place the Mochi dough in the center and sprinkle more cornstarch on the roll and on the roll. Roll dough de to ¼ inch thick and transfer (still on parchment paper) to refrigerator for 15 minutes.

While the Mochi is in the refrigerator, cut 6 to 8 squares of plastic wrap. These will be used to pack the various ice cream Mochi once finished, in order to cut them to an appropriate size.

When 15 minutes have elapsed, remove the Mochi dough from the refrigerator. Depending on the size of your ice cream scoops, cut 6 or 8 large circles in the dough, using a cutter or knife. I made relatively large ice cream balls so I cut 6 circles of dough, about 4.5 inches in diameter. You may need to cut the mochi, use the remaining dough leftovers to make another ball and roll them to make a second thin sheet to fit the volume of packaging you need.

When 15 minutes have elapsed, remove the Mochi dough from the refrigerator. Depending on the size of your ice cream scoops, cut 6 or 8 large circles in the dough, using a cutter or knife. I made relatively large ice cream balls so I cut 6 circles of dough, about 4.5 inches in diameter. You may need to cut the Mochi, use the remaining dough leftovers to make another ball and roll them to make a second thin sheet to fit the volume of packaging you need.

Be sure to work with one scoop of ice cream at a time, leaving the rest in the freezer so they do not become too soft and difficult to handle.

Place one of the squares of plastic wrap on your work surface. Take one of your Mochi circles, remove any excess cornstarch with a pastry brush and place it in the center of the plastic wrap. Remove one of the ice cream scoops from the freezer, place it in the center of your Mochi's wrapper and discard the cupcake rack. Fold the dough on the ice cream by pinching to form a joint. If you have formed a lot of dough where you formed the joint, cut it with a knife or scissors. If you find that it is too difficult to cut because the ice cream softens, you can still cut the extra Mochi envelope once it is frozen. Wrap the ice cream Mochi in the saran and place it in the freezer. Repeat with the rest of the ice cream balls. You will want to let the ice cream Mochi harden again before serving, about 2 hours.

Before serving, allow to soften at room temperature for about 2-3 minutes.

The Ultimate Hong Kong Travel Itinerary

Image result for The Ultimate Hong Kong Travel

If you're looking for the best travel itinerary in Hong Kong to cover all the must-see sites in the city, you're in the right place.

Hong Kong is one of the most dynamic cities in the world. It's a perfect blend of East and West, modernity and culture, concrete jungle and real jungle! And honestly, it can be very fun to discover and explore Hong Kong for the first time! When planning your trip and city itinerary, I want to share some of my suggestions and advice as a resident. And no matter if you need to plan a route of 4, 5 or more, this blog has you covered.

We have been living in Hong Kong for more than 6 years and at that time we loved exploring every nook and cranny of the city. From its central financial district, to its remote villages and isolated islands. There is so much to see and do in Hong Kong! But let's hope this blog summarizes what we recommend to visitors to the city.

Unfortunately, visitors often associate Hong Kong with skyscrapers, shops and bright lights. But there are so many things beyond the dense city. So, let me share with you what I think is the ultimate Hong Kong itinerary for all visitors. An itinerary that covers the city, its wild nature, its culture and beyond. And if you must, even Macau.

Explore Hong Kong as a local with economic suggestions, money-saving tips and insider tips from a local.

But first…

The Logistics


Hong Kong has 4 parts: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the new territories and the outer islands. It should be noted that Hong Kong International Airport is located on an island called Lantau (southwest corner on this map). And the main city is confined to the north of Hong Kong Island and south of Kowloon.

Airport to the city


I recommend taking the Airport Express to town. It's fast, convenient and efficient. And I suggest you buy tickets online, as I do personally. You can save up to 40% on Airport Express tickets if you buy them online and not at the airport. It's a good saving plan for you!

Airport Express Tickets (Save up to 40%)


Of course, you can also take a taxi. Taxis are relatively cheap and ubiquitous in Hong Kong. Taxis are very convenient but have an economic meaning if you are 3 to travel together. And if you are a group of 3 (or less), you can also rent a Tesla (for about the same price as a taxi) to pick you up at the airport!

Hotels – Where to stay in Hong Kong?


Hong Kong is a relatively small city and very well connected. However, as a tourist, I would recommend finding a hotel located on Hong Kong Island or in Kowloon, close to the MTR. Here are some options for hotels in Hong Kong.

HOTEL RECOMMENDATIONS ON HONG KONG ISLAND

Luxury

US $ 300 – 350/night     Grand Hyatt

Mid-Range

US $ 150 – 200/night    Hotel Indigo, Wan Chai

Budget Friendly

US $ 50 – 100/night     JJ Hotel, Wan Chai

HOTEL RECOMMENDATIONS IN KOWLOON


Luxury

US $ 300 – 350/night   The Kowloon Shangri-La

Mid-Range

US $ 150 – 200/night   Butterfly on Prat Boutique Hotel, Tsim Sha Tsui

Budget Friendly

US $ 50 – 100/night   New Reliance Inn, Chungkin Mansions

Local Sim Card


Hong Kong is really well connected to mobile networks. And nowadays, you absolutely need mobile data for maps, browsing and downloading your stories on Instagram! You can recover a SIM card easily at the airport upon your arrival. But often, they are out of stock. It is better to book a SIM card. In addition, if you book your SIM card in advance, you can save 22%!

Local Travel


Hong Kong probably has one of the most efficient and cheapest public transport systems in the world. And if you want to take advantage of this transport system, get an Octopus card.

Octopus Card


The Octopus card works in the MTR, buses, minibuses, trams and even in some shops and restaurants. Just type the card and the fare is deducted. It's very convenient and you do not need to buy a ticket every time you board a bus or a train.

You can buy a normal Octopus card at any MTR information station or tourist version at Hong Kong Airport preloaded at HK $ 50 (more convenient for visitors). The card can be reloaded at any MTR station or at a convenience store such as 7-Eleven or Circle K. And before leaving Hong Kong, you can choose to return the normal Octopus card to the information kiosk of any which MTR station to get money. for any remaining balance on the card, and the deposit. The last time I checked, you only lose $ 9 HK when you return the Octopus card. The tourist version of the Octopus card cannot be returned but serves as a souvenir of your trip to Hong Kong.

Big Bus Tour


Another great way to explore Hong Kong is the wholesale bus tour. The open-top double-decker bus tour offers several routes and unlimited connections. To learn more about the Big Bus Tour and its routes and to buy discounted tickets, click here. Book online and you can save up to 12%.


Best time to visit Hong Kong?

Image result for Best time to visit Hong Kong?


Unlike many countries in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong has seasons. Summers are long, hot and humid and winters can be very cold. In fact, January 2016 was the coldest day in 59 years, when the temperature dropped to 3.1 degrees Celsius.

So I think these are the best and worst months to visit Hong Kong:

September to February: perfect weather, cool and dry. May be cold in January. However, the winds blow south, which can make hazy and polluted. The points of view are not so clear.
April to July: hot and humid. But the winds blow from the north, which means you can expect a clear blue sky and a beautiful view.

March and August: to avoid. The weather in March is generally dark and August is typhoon season (a lot of rain).

DAY 1: Explore the City


Let’s spend the first day discovering the city.

Head to Victoria Peak


Hong Kong probably has the most iconic horizon in the world. With 355 skyscrapers in the city, it has the largest number of skyscrapers in the world! You have no reason not to admire this horizon on the first day! And Victoria Peak has some of the best views in Hong Kong. On a clear day you can see miles in Kowloon from the peak.

Image result for Head to Victoria Peak

There are many ways to get to Victoria Peak, but the most popular mode (for beginners) is the Peak Tram. The tram offers passengers a unique and exciting way to experience the beauty of Hong Kong. Peak's streetcar runs from Garden Road to Admiralty and takes you directly to the Peak.

The lines of the Peak Tram terminus can sometimes last an hour! Fortunately, you can save time by buying an accelerated ticket for the tram and literally save an hour!

When you reach the peak, there are many views near the peak tower. There is also a pay zone right at the top of the Peak Tower from where you can get an amazing 360 degree view of Hong Kong. If you book online the combo of accelerated tickets for the tram, you can opt for access to the roof of the Peak Tower (Sky Pass). I highly recommend it!

My favorite spot on the peak is a 10-minute walk from Peak Tower on Lugard Road (click here to open it in Google Maps). You will not find as many tourists here, and personally, I think this place offers some of the best views on the Hong Kong skyline.

And if you're looking for something off the beaten path (puns) near Peak, take a detour to the Pinewood Battery, once Hong Kong's highest-rated coastal defense battery dating back to the Second World War. The battery is now in ruins.


Go on a Food Tour


One of the best ways to discover Hong Kong is to go through your palace. Known for its milk noodles, barbecue meats and a range of local specialties, Hong Kong is best known for its food!

After your visit to Victoria Peak, get off at Central, which is a short cab ride from Peak or the Peak Tram Station. From Central, I would recommend the Central & Sheung Wan Foodie tour that starts at 1:45 pm or 2:15 pm Monday through Saturday. The gourmet tour will introduce you to some of Hong Kong's best award-winning restaurants. Roasted meats, dimsums, bakeries and wonton noodles, you'll live it all!

Walk about Central & Sheung Wan


After the gastronomic tour, take the time to discover Central and Sheung Wan. Take a stroll through the heart of Hong Kong's financial center or discover hidden treasures.

For example, did you know that you can climb from the central MTR to the middle level (at the top of the hill)? The mid-level escalator system is the longest outdoor escalator system in the world. You can also go down to the Man Mo temple, a declared monument and one of the oldest temples in the city.

After paying homage to the temple, head for Cat Street, also known as Antiques Street. You will find Chinese trinkets, propaganda posters, antique trinkets and art galleries. This is a great place to buy your souvenirs or souvenirs from Hong Kong.

Be Dazzled by the Symphony of Lights


After seeing the panorama from Victoria Peak in the morning, jump into Victoria Harbor to see Hong Kong's magnificent skyscrapers from another angle. Rendez-vous at the water's edge in Tsim Sha Tsui to attend the famous sound and light show entitled "The symphony of lights".

If you are on the island of Hong Kong, you can take the MTR or the Star Ferry. I would definitely recommend Central's Star Ferry. It is one of the oldest modes of transportation in Hong Kong, where the fare is practically the same for you to cross the port.

The Symphony of Lights is held every evening at 8 pm Get ready to be dazzled by lasers, lights and LED screens as the Hong Kong skyline dances to the beat of music. Try to get to the edge of the water very early to get a front line view, as it fills up quickly.

Symphony of lights on the Aqua Luna


However, if you're not a fan of big crowds, you can enhance your Symphony of Lights experience by watching it from Aqua Luna. The Aqua Luna is the iconic red boat that you see sailing around Victoria Harbor.

Image result for Symphony of lights on the Aqua Luna

From this traditional Chinese junk, you can see the spectacle of the middle of the port. This gives you a much better view of lights and lasers on both sides. And of course, it's a much more elegant way to enjoy the Symphony of Lights.

Dinner at Hutong


Located in Tsim Sha Tsui and a short walk from the seafront, Hutong is one of the best Chinese restaurants in the city. With the food, the views of the restaurant are breathtaking!

Although the restaurant is relatively expensive, between 400 and 800 HKD per person, it is really worth it. After all the savings tips I've given you, I think you can afford to spend a few extra dollars.
And if you still do not have enough skyline, head for Sky100, the tallest bridge in the Hong Kong Observatory. Again, tickets are cheaper if you book online.

DAY 2: Explore Hong Kong’s Parks & Gardens


On the second day, why not explore some gardens, parks or even theme parks? Then finish the day by visiting the famous Hong Kong Night Market.

Go to Ocean Park or Disneyland


Hong Kong is home to two incredible theme parks - Ocean Park and Disneyland.

Image result for Go to Ocean Park or Disneyland

Personally, I love Ocean Park! Located on top of a hill, surrounded on all sides by the sea and great attractions - what not to love ?! Ocean Park is very large and has enough attractions to entertain children and adults for a long time.

You can save up to 15% on admission tickets and fast-track queues for attractions if you book your Ocean Park pass online.

Hong Kong is also home to Disneyland, which is obviously more popular with young children, especially girls. Disneyland is obviously much bigger than Ocean Park and also offers a lot of excitement and entertainment for a day!

And as usual, you can save up to 13% if you book your tickets online at Disneyland.

Chi Lin Nunnery or Ten Thousand Buddhas


One of my favorite attractions in the city is the Chi Lin Convent and Nan Lian Garden. Located in the heart of Diamond Hill, this beautiful garden and convent offers a striking contrast between urban and traditional landscapes. It's so surreal that a convent can transport you to a zen world simply by entering its walls, even if it's in a busy urban neighborhood.

Another option is to visit the Ten Thousand Buddha Monastery. This monastery is located in Sha Tin (New Territories of Hong Kong) and houses 12,000 Buddha statues in different postures and expressions. Getting to the monastery also requires a short hike up the hill. On a clear day, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of Sha Tin from the monastery.

The Chi Lin Convent and the Ten Thousand Buddha Monastery have Buddhist cafes that serve delicious vegetarian cuisine.

Then head to the Kowloon Walled City Park


After spending the morning in a convent or monastery, head to Kowloon Fortified City Park. This park is built on the site of the ancient walled city of Kowloon, a densely populated housing complex that has become a haven of crime and debauchery. Some of the original artifacts of the walled city are still visible in the park.

In addition, if you are not a fan of vegetarian food, you can have lunch at Islam Food, near the walled city park. This restaurant serves one of the best Islamic-Chinese cuisine in Hong Kong. If you do not know what it is, I highly recommend you try it. Be sure to order the veal goulash!

Visit a Night Market


After a day spent in the parks, relax and discover the night markets of Hong Kong. There are two night markets in the city - the Temple Street Night Market and the Ladies Market.

Temple Street Night Market


The Temple Street Night Market is located in Jordan (Kowloon side). To get to Temple Street, take the MTR to Jordan Station and follow the signs to Temple Street at Exit A. You can buy souvenirs, clothes and accessories, toys and a whole bunch of trinkets.

Temple Street is also very famous for its seafood restaurants. Have dinner at one of the many roadside restaurants here. The most famous is Temple Street's spicy Temple Street restaurant. It's definitely an amazing experience! However, if you fancy something more unique, you will find a very amazing Shanxi restaurant a 15-minute walk from the Yau Yuen Siu Tsui night market. Make sure to try their Biang Biang noodles. Yum!

MONG KOK LADIES MARKET


Ladies Market is located in Mong Kok, the busiest shopping district in Kowloon. He is much larger and more animated than his Temple Street counterpart. The range of products and purchases here are quite similar, but the Ladies Market is more focused on clothing and accessories. It is also good to know that the Ladies Market is also open during the day.

Image result for MONG KOK LADIES MARKET

To get to the Ladies Market, take the MTR to Mong Kok Station and follow signs to Exit D for Tung Choi Street. I prefer to leave the exit D3 and walk a few meters until the beginning of the market.

Shopping in Mong Kok


Mong Kok is pretty famous for all types of shopping. Fa Yuen Street, known as "Street of Sneakers", is right next to the Ladies' Market. Here you can buy discount shoes and shoes from almost every major brand.

There is also the Mong Kok Computer Center on Nelson Street to meet all your computer and gadget needs. Finally, if you are a fan of Apple, go to Sincere House on Argyle Street to buy genuine Apple products (but at a reduced price).


DAY 3: Explore Hong Kong’s Wilderness


Did you know that around 70% of Hong Kong is undeveloped land? You can find parks 30 minutes from the main city. In fact, Hong Kong has a very important hiking culture. So, why not take a day to explore Hong Kong beyond the horizon? As a resident of the city, I would be very upset not to include hikes and beaches in my itinerary in Hong Kong.

The Dragon’s Back Hike


The dragon back trek is probably the most popular hike in Hong Kong. It is convenient to get there, it offers stunning views, easy to complete and can end on one of two beautiful beaches - Shek O or Big Wave Bay.

All the information you need on the Dragon Back Trek is available on this post. If you are unsure of hiking alone, you can always book a group hike with a guide. And if you do not want to hike, go directly to one of the two beaches below.

Relax At Shek O Beach or Big Wave Bay Beach


You can choose to end the dragonback hike at Big Wave Bay or Shek O. Both beaches are beautiful and it is hard to believe that these beaches are on the island of Hong Kong. Personally, I would recommend Shek O because there is still a lot to do and see here. But Big Wave Bay has more charm and character because of all the surfers.

Party at Lkf at Night


And as we took the day to explore the wild side of the city, it would not be complete without an evening at Lan Kwai Fong - better known as LKF. Located in the center, LKF is the center of the Hong Kong party. Streets full of bars, restaurants, clubs that come alive at night. Give up your hair, go from one bar to another or simply discover the crazy side of Hong Kong at night.
To get to LKF, take the MTR to Central Station, then take the D2 exit and climb D'Aguilar Street.

DAY 4: Experience Culture


Take a day to discover some of Hong Kong's greatest tourist attractions, including a picturesque fishing village.

Visit the Big Buddha


Tian Tan Buddha, also known as the Big Buddha, is a large bronze statue of Shakyamuni Buddha in Ngong Ping Village, Lantau Island. At 34 meters high, the Big Buddha attracts pilgrims and visitors from all over Asia and the world. This is one of Hong Kong's main tourist attractions not only because it is a giant mountain-top Buddha, but also because of the impressive gondola (cable car) that leads to Ngong Ping Village.

There are many ways to get to the Big Buddha (bus, taxi), but the most popular mode is the cable car ride from Tung Chung, called the Ngong Ping 360.

At 5.7 km, CNN also ranks one of the most beautiful cable cars in the world. The Ngong Ping 360 leaves from downtown Tung Chung and runs along the Hong Kong International Airport to Ngong Ping (to get to Tung Chung, take the Tung Chung MTR line from the center). Visitors can admire the impressive view of the planes that land and take off as they slide along one of the longest single-wire suspensions in Asia!

And here is the best part: you have the opportunity to ride in a standard cable car or a glass bottom cable car (known as the Crystal Cabin)! Unless you're dizzy, I would highly recommend the glass-bottomed cable car ride. It's as exciting and exciting as they come!

Step into the Po Lin Monastery


Although most visitors come to see the Big Buddha, Po Lin Monastery is actually the main attraction of Ngong Ping. Founded in 1906, the Po Lin Monastery received its current name in 1924. It houses three bronze statues of the Buddha, representing his past, present and future lives, as well as many Buddhist scriptures. The Big Buddha was built in 1993 as an extension of the monastery.

Like other monasteries in Hong Kong, Po Lin Monastery also houses a vegetarian restaurant that stays open until 16:30. However, if you are not in the mood to eat something vegetarian, I would recommend heading to the fishing village of Tai O to enjoy delicious seafood.

Stumble onto the Wisdom Path


In addition, while you are in Ngong Ping, I would advise you to take a 10-minute detour on the path of wisdom. The path of wisdom is a monument made of 38 wooden beams, each with a prayer of the heart's Sutra. Few tourists end up on the path of wisdom, but I would advise you to check.

Just look for the signs of the path of wisdom at the foot of the steps of the giant Buddha. If you want to know more about the path of wisdom, click here.

Now, on Tai O!

Discover Tai O Fishing Village


Located on a small islet of the same name, Tai O is an old picturesque fishing village. To get to the village from Ngong Ping, take bus # 21 or a taxi.

The village, known for its dried seafood and houses on stilts, is located in the tidal plains. Notice the houses built on piles in this village. The stilts protect the structures from any damage caused by floods.

Tai O is an excellent day trip that will really help you enjoy the rustic fishing village life in Hong Kong. If it was not for the nearby airport or for the Macau Bridge, it would be hard for you to imagine that it was Hong Kong.


More than 4 Days in HK?


5 Day or 6 Day Itinerary: If you’re in Hong Kong for 5 or 6 days, don’t worry, there’s still plenty more to see.

Macau Day-Trip

Most visitors make a day trip or combine Hong Kong with Macau. Personally, I think there are many things to do and see in Macao for 1 or 2 days. Besides gambling, Macau also has a charming old town and the highest bungee jumping in the world.

DAYS 6 & 7: Explore Sai Kung


Hong Kong’s Paradise

However, if you plan to make Macau a day, I would recommend exploring Sai Kung in Hong Kong on your last day. Sai Kung is located in the northeastern region of Hong Kong. It is known for its pristine beaches, world geopark, volcanic rock formations and breathtaking hikes! There are many things to do and see in Sai Kung that will easily take a day or two. All you want to know about Sai Kung is on this blog.
