Attraction introduction: The best means of transportation to Central is to take the Star Ferry at the Star Pier in Tsim Sha Tsui. The lowest price of HK$2 is really reasonable. It is as famous as the Hong Kong Tramway and the Peak Tramway, and is a means of transportation with a long history of over a hundred years. At Tsim Sha Tsui Pier, you can purchase tickets individually through WeChat or Alipay, or you can use Octopus card to swipe directly onto the ship. It takes about 10 minutes to reach Central from the Star Ferry Pier. The Star Ferry operates between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui from 6:30 to 23:30, with an interval of about 10 minutes between each trip.
Central is the heart of Hong Kong, the financial market center of Hong Kong and one of the places with the most expensive rent. If you are interested in shopping, you have come to the right place. If you have a special liking for luxury goods, Central is more suitable for you. In Hong Kong, whenever an international brand goes online, the first place it appears must be in Central. Therefore, many people who come to Central spend the rest of their time shopping besides sightseeing.
At the Central Pier, you can board the Ferris wheel and overlook the prosperity and vitality of Central.
Causeway Bay is a gathering place for commercial and entertainment venues in Hong Kong. It is home to many shopping malls and is a veritable shopping mecca in Hong Kong. You can eat, drink, and have fun here, and you can easily take Hong Kong-style photos on any street.
The Central to Mid-Levels Escalator, which is 800 metres long and connects Central and Mid-Levels, is the world's longest outdoor covered escalator. It is the main passage from Central to Mid-Levels and the whole journey takes about 20 minutes. But what is very convenient is that the elevator passes through many streets halfway up the mountain on its way up. Whether you are tired or want to go somewhere else, you can get off halfway or take a rest in the surrounding shopping malls and restaurants.
In addition to Victoria Harbor, the best place to enjoy the night view of Hong Kong is The Peak, which is also chosen by many tourists. The most important thing is that you can overlook the entire Hong Kong.
The most classic way to get to the top of Victoria Peak is to take the famous Peak Tram. Because there are too many tourists watching the night view, you still need to go down the mountain early after the end, because it took us more than an hour to queue for the car. The Peak Tower Observation Deck is the best place to enjoy the night view of Hong Kong on the Peak. Of course, this is not the only experience here. You can also enjoy shopping, food and other experiences. The famous Madame Tussauds Hong Kong is also located in the Peak Tower. The wax museum opened in 2000 and has since exhibited more than 100 wax figures of famous people from China and around the world, including Andy Lau, Anita Mui, Jay Chou, Yao Ming, David Beckham, etc.
The Lunar New Year fireworks display takes place over Victoria Harbour, attracting crowds of spectators to watch the dazzling fireworks explode into the night sky
