After walking along Victoria Harbour, soaking in views of the skyline and the boats crossing its deep blue waters, I hopped on the famous Star Ferry for a short ride across the bay to Central — the business heart of Hong Kong.
The Star Ferry runs regularly between Tsim Sha Tsui on the Kowloon side and Central on Hong Kong Island, and it’s one of the best ways to enjoy the harbour scenery from the water. From Central Pier, I then caught a bus toward Sheung Wan and made my way to visit Man Mo Temple, where the scent of incense and the quiet calm of the old temple offered a beautiful contrast to the bustling waterfront earlier in the day.
Walking through Hong Kong is like stepping between different worlds at once. The Man Mo Temple feels like a quiet portal to the past, with its fragrant incense spiraling down from the ceiling and the soft glow of red lanterns casting shadows on ancient wooden beams.
Just outside, the city hums with life as bright red double-decker buses rattle by, giving passengers a front-row seat to the city’s energy. Everywhere you look, towering high-rises soar into the sky, their glass and steel reflecting the sun and making the streets feel both cozy and exhilaratingly vertical. In a single walk, you can experience Hong Kong’s history, its everyday rhythm, and its breathtaking modern skyline all at once.
