A Hidden Gem for Family Fun: Hong Kong Summer Vacation with Kids

Exploring Hong Kong with kids, eating and drinking along the way—our one-day itinerary was a bit tight, but thanks to thorough preparation with Hong Kong data and a travel backpack, both adults and kids had a satisfying day! With summer break approaching, we’ll likely visit Hong Kong with the kids a few more times. Fellow moms, take notes for reference! Practical Travel Tips: ✅ Hong Kong Data Arranged via Huawei SkyTone for just 9.9 RMB/day—no SIM swap or roaming needed. The speed was smooth, and even in enclosed areas, the connection held up. It’s valid for 24 hours (not calendar days), so activate ✨Global EasyConnect before departure. Once set up, it auto-connects abroad—super reliable for travel, with pay-later convenience. ✅ Petal Maps Marked all the spots we wanted to visit—attractions, playgrounds—before the trip. Its navigation was flawless, even on Hong Kong’s winding hills like those in Sai Ying Pun. ✅ Hot weather calls for frequent hydration, comfy sneakers for long walks, soft tissues for sweat, and two power banks to last the day. We mostly followed Petal Maps’ subway routes, spending a day exploring from Yuen Long to Tsim Sha Tsui. 🔹 YOHO Mall (Yuen Long) A massive mall packed with trendy collectibles—Sanrio, Totoro, Transformers—plus miniatures of Hong Kong trams and buildings, offering kids a glimpse of old-school Hong Kong life. 🔹 Children’s Park Near a footbridge outside YOHO, it has swings and slides—enough to keep kids happy for hours. Opposite the park, snack stalls serve taiyaki with sweet red bean or savory cheese-tuna fillings. 🔹 1881 Heritage (Tsim Sha Tsui) Houses the 1881 Museum, open-air photo spots, and a waterfall—great for kids’ pics. Across the street are China Hong Kong City and Harbour City, packed with bags, clothes, and jewelry, plus stunning harbor views from the terrace! 🔹 Mister Softee Treated the kids to a lotus cup ice cream (12 RMB, fist-sized)—delicious, affordable, and perfect for cooling off after walking.
