The Must-see Places in Hong Kong.

1) Avenue of the Stars, for a breathtaking view of Hong Kong island. On a clear day, this promenade will unveil a sweeping landscape of glass, steel, mountains, sky and sea.

2) Chi Lin Nunnery. Sitting in the midst of urbanity, this beautiful temple borrows heavily from Japanese architecture. Tall columns, intricate and nailless construction, majestic roofs and tranquil lotus ponds make this temple an absolute gem.

3) Repulse Bay. While usually crowded beyond imagination, this landmark beach offers a unique view of mountain, sea, sand and sky. And bodies.

4) Lantau Island. The signature Big Buddha (which, by the way, features a panoramic 360 view of the island on a clear day) and Po Lin monastery aside, Lantau Island is also home to the often overlooked Path of Wisdom (the Heart Sutra inscribed on long wooden tablets installed on a mountain side) as well as some of the best hikes in Hong Kong.

5) Victoria Peak, on a clear night. For an arguably unrivalled view of Hong Kong's skyline, take the steep downhill path just beside Pacific Coffee in the Peak Tower. That's right, away from the crowd. Take a few minutes stroll, and enjoy.
