Off the main track travelling in Hong Kong

Off the main tourism track is my way of travel. It allows me to not just see but also feel the country and place that I have walked across. Firstly the good old Mong Kok in the Kowloon side of Hong Kong, this is where you will find most of the 60-80s style buildings that are always featured in old HK films. There are a lot of featured points in Mong Kok that one can visit and do. For those loving a cheap deal, Ladies streets and the surrounding streets turn into flea markets when the sun sets. There are also a lot of eateries that offer traditional HK dining menus. But do note, dining in HK can feel like a rush experience as their fast pace of life extends to dining. So only call for the service staff when we have your order in mind, they really don't like any kind of delays. For those wanting to see something unique to HK, the Avenue of Comics is a good place to visit, just 5mins walk from Jordan MTR. It's an open park dedicated to HK comics history with status and palm prints of famous artists and creators. ChungKing Mansions, the famous place where you can get the cheapest lodging in the country and see a large variety of cultures from every part of the world inside. Many said it's dangerous inside, but it's actually quite safe if you don't go around poking into unwanted business. Just 5 mins walk down from the ChungKing, you can enjoy a different landscape, with the K11 mall and the avenue of stars, where all the famous HK celebrities left their palm prints. At the end of the waterfront walkway you will reach the Jetty where you can enjoy a boat ride for around HK$6 across the channel to the Hong Kong Island side of the country. Taking trams is the best way to travel around Hong Kong Island side, just a flat fee of HK$3 will get you from east to west. And also if you are feeling lucky, you can drop by the Happy Valley Racecourse for a visit. Back on Kowloon side, one of the history that one can visit is the remains of the famous Walled City, although not much remains aside from a few gates and some damaged foundations, there is a small museum that showcases the history of the Walled City from beginning to the day it's torn down. So that's my off the main track travel in Hong Kong, for my 2D1N stay, there are much more you one can enjoy by just traveling out and looking at sights that are normally not in tourism maps #100waysoftravel #100種旅行方式 #hongkong
