After finishing shopping, experience a special culinary experience at the night market on Temple Street, where fresh seafood can be enjoyed on plastic chairs.

Although it may not seem like that when lost in a maze of skyscrapers, more than 70% of Hong Kong is covered by mountains and vast rural parks, with several geological and historical gems lying within.
