Here's some inspiration on how to make sure you have a unique holiday there:

1. Check out tourist attractions from a different vantage point

Okay so you don't have to totally cut the popular tourist destinations out of your itinerary (especially if it's your first time in HK) but you don't have to experience them the way everyone else does.

Crossing the harbour: To enjoy a unique view of the harbour, skip the popular Star Ferry and take either a 15 minute boat ride from Sai Wan Ho to Kwun Tong or from North Point to Kowloon City.

Waterfront promenade: While everyone flocks to Tsim Sha Tsui, you could head over to the West Kowloon promenade, the Kwun Tong promenade, or the Ma On Shan promenade instead, all of which are lesser known but offer equally spectacular views.

2. Stay away from hotspot restaurants and eat somewhere completely unexpected

You wouldn't think to look at housing estates for places to eat now would you? But you're totally missing out if you don't because hidden between the apartment buildings are big outdoor hawker centres, each with their own extensive history, strong community attachment, and stellar reputation for delicious food.

Look out for: Oi Man Estate in Ho Man Tin, Nam Shan Estate in Shek Kip Mei and Sun Tsui Estate in Tai Wai.
