10 Super Fun Things to Do in Hong Kong for a Power-Packed Vacay

Picture yourself chugging some wine as you sail through the Victoria river looking at the stellar cityscape. Sounds like a quintessential Hong Kong experience? Well, if throwing in a visit to the Tian Tan Buddha, Stanley Market and Hong Kong Park while relishing flavourful dumplings is all that is there on your ‘Things to do in Hong Kong’ list, you need to explore this archetypal city better.

Get ready to wiggle out of your tourist self and partake in 9 offbeat things and places that Hong Kong has to offer.

1. Breeze into the Fun Mode with a Disneyland Trip

Swipe in a Cinderella moment or a Flynn Rider cackle with your little one at the happiest destination on earth – Disneyland! Stunningly detailed to captivate your imagination, the theme park is a true-blue dream destination in Hong Kong for kids as well as adults.

#MMTTravellerTip: The Grizzly Gulch and the Mystic Point are the top rated attractions here, make sure to indulge in some fun time on these!

2. Go Camping Glamping!

How about falling asleep under the stars in a transparent bubble-shaped tent? That is exactly what you get to do at Yuen Long Farm.

Making for an exciting getaway, this is one of the most unique things to do in Hong Kong, as it offers a chance to indulge in glamorous camping within igloo-like tents (sans the snow) with the bright night sky looking down at you directly. Not to forget, the farm also offers mushroom and spaceship tents to relax in!

Glamourous enough, we say!

3. Did someone say Pink Dolphins?

On the verge of extinction and an absolute delight to watch, a handful of the beautiful pink coloured dolphins still remain inhabited off the coast of Lantau Island. Do keep your camera handy to capture the beautiful contrast of the sunshine and dolphins, adding the perfect dose of wildlife and adventure to your trip.

4. Explore Hong Kong the Ding Ding Way!

Covering destinations like Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan, the Ding Ding or Hong Kong Tramway as the locals call it, is a relatively economical way of commuting around town in the otherwise expensive Hong Kong.

Treating you with a lively tour of the city and charming vistas of colonial relics, the tramway also has a branch that circulates through the Happy Valley.

So, happy travelling it is indeed!

5. Cruise on Aqua Luna!

How would you feel riding on one of the last existing junks (ship) in Hong Kong? Yes, that is Aqua Luna for you, and a ‘things to do in Hong Kong’ list is incomplete without this. Named after the 19th-century Chinese pirate Cheung Po Tsai and the last of its kind to be sailing in Hong Kong waters, Aqua Luna offers you an opportunity to revel in luxury as you sip on lip-smacking cocktails and watch the city come to life at sunset.

It’s iconic and offbeat, so, feel free to brag about your ride!

6. Catch Some Live Panda-Action at Ocean Park!

Packed with exotic wildlife and thrilling rides, Ocean Park is a fun-packed adventure escapade in Hong Kong. Swank your panda shots or dolphin ride clicks, partake in feeding activities for the animals or simply experience an adrenaline-rush with the thrilling rides dotting the park.

4. Check out Victoria Peak Garden!

Break from the herds of tourists going to Victoria Peak and instead walk a few more steps ahead to arrive at the Chinese-style Victoria Peak Garden. Enjoy the surroundings or climb up the hill to reach atop and have the panoramic views of Hong Kong etched in your memory forever!

6. Soak in the Dynamic Nucleus of Sham Shui Po!

Lively ambience and a separate wet market in the area where you can shop for everything under the sun – from fabric and junk jewellery, Sham Shui Po allows for you to indulge in a lot of cheap thrills!

An old and run down part of Kowloon, it has fresh fish fillets (yes, you can actually see their hearts beating) and is also famous as a red light district on Fuk Wa Street.

9. Pile on some Happy Holiday Calories!

From Michelin starred eateries at Sham Shui Po to egg waffles at swanky outlets, Hong Kong just won’t fail to delight you in the food department.
