For a slow and peaceful start to the morning, Victoria Peak is the perfect choice. Away from the bustling streets of Hong Kong, you will be immersed in peaceful nature with rows of green or golden trees stretching across the top of the mountain depending on the season. Once you reach the top, a complete Hong Kong will appear before your eyes. With views from the roads around the top of the mountain, skyscrapers, the vast Victoria Harbour and neighboring islands will be in full view.

And for a 360-degree view of Hong Kong, head to Sky Terrace 428, an outdoor balcony located right on top of Victoria Peak.

However, there are quite a lot of tourists coming here to take pictures so you need to go early.

To get to Victoria Peak, you can take the Peak Tram, one of Hong Kong's most unique means of transportation.

The Peak Tram has been around since 1888, and offers a unique experience for visitors as they pass through the trees and look down on the city from above. Despite its long history, the tram has always been upgraded to ensure the safety of visitors. Taiping Mountain also has many shops to meet the shopping, dining and entertainment needs of visitors. You can visit Madame Tussauds Hong Kong, Peak Galleria shopping mall or M ONOPOLY D R EAMS, the world's first Monopoly-themed amusement park.

Hong Kong Heritage Museum, a favorite of martial arts movie fans

In the middle of the day, you can visit the museums in Hong Kong, which are famous for their diversity of fields and contents. To relive the golden age of Hong Kong's heritage, visit the Hong Kong Heritage Museum and find old works.

For Vietnamese people, names like Kim Dung, Anita Mui or the film Hero of Identity still evoke memories of a legendary and nostalgic Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s. One of the notable exhibitions is "Hong Kong Pop 60+" which recreates the development of Hong Kong popular culture from after World War II to the early 2000s. If you are a fan of wuxia novels, you definitely cannot miss the Kim Dung exhibition at this museum. It displays artifacts from the early stages of Kim Dung's career, from the first manuscript of Demi- Gods and Semi-Devils in the 2000s, to the novel The Return of the Condor Heroes in the late 1950s, and many other artifacts. The exhibition is open free of charge.
