February 2024 saw me finally return to Hong Kong, and this time with two young kids in tow! As with my previous visits, it’s been a mix of a few places I’ve been to before but wanted to share with kids, some new places we’d never ever been to, as well as my usual side trips to see trains – including railway lines that didn’t exist on our last visit.
Day 1: arrival and airport bus to Kowloon.
Day 2: Tsim Sha Tsui, Wong Tai Sin and Kowloon City, and a late night exploration of the MTR East Rail to Sha Tin Racecourse.
Day 3: Bus through New Territories to the closed town of Sha Tau Kok, and home via the Hong Kong Railway Museum.
Day 4: Star Ferry, Hong Kong Island trams, Hong Kong Park, and a fog covered Victoria Peak.
Day 5: Monkeys in the Kowloon Hills, and shopping in Kwun Tong and Mong Kok.
Day 6: Hong Kong Dolphin Watch tour off Tung Chung, AIA Carnival, then a night exploring Wan Chai and Hung Hom.
Day 7: Tung Chung and the Big Buddha, then a night exploring Causeway Bay, Fo Tan and Mong Kok.
Day 8: Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge to Macau, and riding the Macau LRT.
Day 9: MTR Tuen Ma line and Tin Shui Wai Mun light rail, then a late night exploration of Tsim Sha Tsui, Victoria Harbour, Kowloon City, Checkerboard Hill.
Day 10: Hong Kong Disneyland, exploring Hong Kong Airport and Chek Lap Kok.
Day 11: departure.
Fingers crossed it won’t be another five years before I’m back in Hong Kong!
