Hong Kong One Day City Walk - A 20,000-step journey with a guide
Prepare in advance:
1. Get an Octopus card (applicable for all transportation and most shopping, very convenient!) But it's not mandatory, you can use the wx ride code to travel everywhere.
2. Exchange for Hong Kong dollars according to personal spending (many small shops really only accept HKD, if you plan to visit Lung Shing Dispensary, HKD is a must)
I usually exchange at the border, and if there's any leftover, I can exchange it back.
3. Hong Kong and Macau pass.
4. Power bank
5. Google Maps
6. Hong Kong one-day data SIM card (easily purchased online, very cheap and I find it quite useful, there's basically always signal)

The view of the Hong Kong skyline from Victoria Harbour is the best in the city. Enjoy it for only 5 HK dollars by taking the star ferry from Central or Wan Chai.
Victoria Harbour is a natural landform harbour in Hong Kong separating Hong Kong Island in the south from the Kowloon Peninsula to the north. it’s offers an array of shopping, dining and lifestyle retailers, sophisticated residences and dynamic workplaces just minutes from Melbourne CBD.
Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour has different scenery during the day and at night. On a clear day, you can clearly see the Kowloon Pier while walking here. During the day, people come and go here, and many tourists come here to check in and take photos. There will be boats sailing around the port on the sea, and you can also buy a ticket to board a boat and tour the entire port. You can also take the Star Ferry to the opposite port for HK$5. Taking the Star Cruises has a retro feel, and you can watch a lot of movies. You can enjoy the scenery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait on this ship, which is very worth a visit.
Victoria Harbour Ancient name Tsim Sha Tsui Oceanfront [2] or Middle Gate [3]; It was the potential of the British to become an excellent port in East Asia. Later, in the First Opium War and the Second Opium War, the Treaty of Nanjing and the Treaty of Beijing were signed to cede Hong Kong from the Qing Dynasty, and the Victoria Harbour was the center of the construction of Hong Kong. As a base for the development of its maritime trade in the Far East.[4] Victoria Harbour has always influenced Hong Kong's history and culture, and has dominated the development of Hong Kong's economy and tourism, which is one of the keys to Hong Kong's becoming an international city.[5]
Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong, no matter day and night to go to Shanghai, it is beautiful, there will be fireworks during the festival, Victoria Harbour on the earth also has many food and shops, you can enjoy the scenery for tourists, go to taste Hong Kong food, after eating, you can go to the nearby shops to go shopping, The transportation is very convenient. After many tourists come to Hong Kong, they will go to Victoria Harbour to take a photo. I recommend that if you come to Hong Kong, you may as well go to take a trip.
The view is so lovely. I’d like to come back here again on December. I and my family really had fun and the staff are really kind and accommodating. The trip was absolutely fantastic! Each port was interesting and unique. Thanks to the Dreamer staffs.
I had an amazing time, the staff were really accomodating and they even took pictures of me as I was a solo traveller.
