HONG KONG THINGS TO DO BEFORE AND AFTER CRUISE

Hong Kong is a warm whirlwind of sights, smells, tastes, and sounds. Thronging with traffic and brimming with markets, temples, malls, high-raised buildings, old architectures, parks, museums, and art galleries. If you only have a day or 2 in Hong Kong, or perhaps a few hours before and after your cruise. Here’s some places to see in Hong Kong to add to your  Hong Kong itinerary. These Hong Kong tourist attractions have long been written on travel guide books, even before the internet era, but while they’re not really new, they are surprisingly under-the-radar for most Filipino tourists, even to me. It was my first-time hearing some of these places.

So, if you’re looking  for Ocean Terminal Hong Kong nearby attractions or looking for something different to do in Hong Kong beyond the usual Hong Kong Itinerary, come discover these places with me. Here’s a list of Things to Do in Hong Kong before or after your cruise.  I included the address, how to get there, GPS, open hours, entrance fee, etc. so you can plan your 1 day Hong Kong itinerary from cruise port or 2 Day Hong Kong Itinerary from Cruise port.

 


1.EXPLORE THE TSIM SHA TSUI PROMENADE


 

I joined the Hong Kong to Xiamen Cruise which departed from Ocean Terminal in Hong Kong, which is housed inside the Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui. If you only have a few hours to explore Hong Kong before or after your cruise, exploring the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade is your best bet. I highly recommend this area because it is just walking distance from Ocean Terminal. You don’t need to ride the MTR or ferry if you’re already at the Ocean Terminal.   So, if you’re looking for Ocean Terminal Hong Kong nearby attractions, here you go:

How to get to Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade: Take the MTR to Tsim Sha Tsui. Take Exit B and walk towards Salisbury Road.

✅ Victoria Harbour

 

Standing along Victoria Harbour, I was immediately greeted by one of Hong Kong’s most recognizable, uninterrupted view of the sparkling skyline, busy sea, and constant movement of ferries and people. It is an especially Instagrammable spot, particularly around sunset, blue hour and at night when the city lights reflects across the water.

copy_6C35344B-3D3D-4AB8-97AF-CE4EE99AA9E9 3

Yet, beyond its postcard-perfect scenery, the harbor offers a glimpse into Hong Kong’s history as a major port and trading center. Watching ferries cross between the shores, I could see how Victoria Harbour continues to connect communities, businesses, tourists and everyday life. More than just a picturesque view point, Victoria Harbour is a living space where Hong Kong’s history, economy, culture, and modern identity blend together.

 copy_C5E33BC0-DDF7-406A-BB12-DFA0E5C5AACD

Travel Tip: Bring umbrella, hat/cap, and a portable mini fan as it can get really quite hot and humid here especially during summer.

 


✅ Symphony of Lights

  • Address: Victoria Harbour, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
  • Open Hours: 8:00 PM Daily (lasts for about 10 minutes)
  • Entrance Fee: FREE

As evening falls over Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong begins to transform as the Symphony of Lights illuminates the skyline. Watching the buildings come alive with colorful lights, music, and movement feels almost theatrical, while the harbor reflects the spectacle below. Beyond one of Hong Kong’s most photographed or videoed experiences, the show captures the city’s fascination with technology, modern architecture, and spectacle.

DSC_5033

The Symphony of Lights reveals how public spaces can become shared stages where locals and visitors gather, take photos and videos, and experience a collective sense of place. For me, it was more than a light show – it was a moment where Hong Kong’s history, modern identity, and vibrant city life came together against the night sky.

copy_514F6675-938F-48EF-ACD5-C836800EB9BD

Proudly soaring before me is the former Kowloon-Canton Railway Clock Tower, and just looking at it feels like standing at a crossroads between Hong Kong’s past and present. This is perhaps once of the most recognizable Hong Kong tourist spots. Built in 1915 a part of Kowloon-Canton Railway terminus, the clock tower once welcomed travelers arriving in Hong Kong and became a familiar landmark for generations.

copy_1A868DAE-1804-4F1A-967B-F7361B2ADC07

Although the railway has long been gone, the tower remains as a quiet reminder of the movement, migration, and connections that helped shape the city. Its elegant architecture also makes it a popular Instagrammable spot. For me, the clock tower is more than just a historic monument, it represents the journeys of countless people who passed through Hong Kong and the city’s transformations overtime.

copy_817310E0-78ED-4185-9D4E-B284C4C99345

Stepping into Hong Kong Cultural Center feels like entering a space where art, architecture, and the city’s cultural identity mingle. Also located along Victoria Harbour, adjacent to the former Kowloon – Canton Railway Clock Tower, its striking modernist design and sweeping waterfront setting makes it a top Instagrammable spot when visiting Hong Kong and Tsim Sha Tsui area.

 copy_E2C6B118-C259-41EA-9908-2DBDFD8953F8

Beyond its striking visual appeal, the Hong Kong Cultural Center reflects Hong Kong’s role as a meeting point of different cultural influences, hosting performances, exhibitions, and events that bring people together. Walking through the space, I found it interesting to see how a modern cultural institution can become part of everyday life while also reflecting changing identity of the city.

copy_3FD85130-D6FF-43E4-9052-E8F330C3FE33


✅ HONG KONG MUSEUM ORF ARTS

copy_6F5D0FA4-040C-4CB5-BCB8-460A982A0A7C

I haven’t entered this one yet because of limited time, but if you want to see the Hong Kong Museum of Arts, one of the city’s prominent cultural landmarks, known for its collections of Chinese art, Hong Kong art, and works that reflect the region’s rich cultural heritage, drop by here. Even the outside, its modern architecture and waterfront setting makes it an attractive stop. Beyond its visual charm,  the museum represents Hong Kong’s effort to preserve, reinterpret and share its artistic traditions within a rapidly changing urban environment. As part of the city’s cultural landscape, it offers a glimpse into how art and heritage continue to shape’s Hong Kong’s identity.

copy_E92875F7-7E48-44C7-99A7-B3960805AE77

A leisurely stroll along the Avenue of Stars feels like stepping into Hong Kong’s cinematic history while taking in the spectacular view of Victoria Harbour. Inspired by Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, the promenade celebrates the actors, directors and filmmakers who helped shaped Hong Kong’s influential film industry.

 copy_03F7DD73-2FA3-46DE-9A0B-43FED475F72B

As I walked past handprints, statues, and iconic tributes, the space becomes more than another Hong Kong tourist attraction, it reflects how cinema has become part of Hong Kong’s cultural identity and collective memory. With the skyline and harbor creating a dramatic backdrop, it is also another Instagrammable spot, where pop culture, history and everyday city life beautifully blends in one vibrant waterfront experience.

 


2. EXPLORE OLD TOWN CENTRAL


 

Another on the list of Things to Do in Hong Kong Before or After Cruise is exploring Old Town Central. A leisurely walk in Old Town Central felt like moving between different versions of Hong Kong at once. Along the streets, traditional shops, historic buildings, temples, cafes, street markets, and modern businesses stand shoulder to shoulder, creating a neighborhood where the past remains part of everyday life. Rather than feeling like a preserved historical district, the area felt like live-in and constantly changing.

 IMG_6656

As I explored Old Town Central’s narrow streets and busy corners, I noticed how local traditions have adapted alongside new businesses and creative spaces. With its colorful storefronts, textured streetscapes, and unexpected details, Old Town Central is also highly Instagrammable, offering plenty of opportunities to capture the contrast between Hong Kong’s heritage and its contemporary urban character.

 IMG_6667

How to get to Old Town Central: Take the MRT to Central Station (Exit D1 or C) or to Sheung Wan Station (Exit B). Walk for about 5-10 minutes towards Queen’s Road Central.

Here are some places to see in Old Town Central:

copy_F63535B6-79A1-4878-9039-4E24E6B13600


 

Central Market

 
IMG_6597

Our first stop at the Old Town Central in Hong Kong is the Central Market that offers a fascinating look at how the city’s everyday spaces can evolve without completely losing their connections to the past. Originally opened as a traditional public market, the site once served as an important gathering space where people came to buy food, meet others, and carry out daily life routines. Today, its restored architecture blends heritage with modern shops, cafes and creative spaces, making it a cultural landmark.

IMG_6594

Walking through Central Market gave me a different perspective on Hong Kong’s history, one rooted not in grand monuments, but in the everyday routines of ordinary people.  More than just a place to visit, Central Market reflects the changing rhythms of Hong Kong life and how an old community space can be reimagined for a new generation.

IMG_6617


 

Mid-Levels Escalator

IMG_6651

Riding the Mid-Levels Escalator gave me a glimpse of Hong Kong beyond its famous landmarks and attractions. Moving through the dense streets of Central and Mid-Levels, I passed by shops, cafes, restaurants, and residential buildings, watching everyday life unfold along the route. What makes the escalator interesting is, that the  Mid-Levels Escalators is not simply a tourist attraction but it is also a part of the city’s daily transportation system and reflects how Hong Kong has adapted its urban spaces to its steep terrain and crowded neighborhoods. Along the way, there are plenty of Instagrammable street scenes and unexpected details, making the ride feel like a moving window into the rhythm of local life.

 


✅  Hollywood Road

IMG_5426

Walking along Hollywood Road feels like moving through different chapters of Hong Kong’s history within just a few streets. Established in the early colonial period, it grew alongside the city’s development as a trading port and became known for its antique shops, temples, galleries, and connections to the city’s evolving commercial life.

IMG_6742

As I wandered through the area, the mix of old buildings, art spaces, street markets, and modern businesses revealed how different generations and cultures have continued to shape the neighborhood. With its colorful storefronts, historic architecture, and lively street scenes, Hollywood Road is also an Instagrammable part of the city – where every day urban life and layers of heritage exists side by side.

 


✅ Man Mo Temple

IMG_6695
 

Entering Man Mo Temple transported me into a distinct atmosphere from the lively streets of Central. The scent of burning incense that wafts around the temple from giant spiraling coils of incense hanging from the ceiling that are kept constantly burning to feed the spirits, the soft glow inside the temple, and the steady rhythm of worshippers  created a sense of calm amid the surrounding city. If you’re looking for Things to Do in Hong Kong Before or After Cruise, add this to your list.

 IMG_6685

Built in the in the 19th century, the temple is dedicated to Man Cheong, the God of Literature and Mo Tai, the God of War, reflecting traditional beliefs that have long been part of Hong Kong’s Chinese community. Watching visitors light incense, pray, and make offerings here made the temple feel less like a historical attraction and more like a living part of everyday religious life. Its ornate details, hanging incense coils, and historic setting also make it a striking and Instagrammable place to visit, while offering a glimpse into traditions that continue to shape Hong Kong’s cultural identity.

IMG_5464


Upper Lascar Row (Cat Street)

  • Address: Sheung Wan, Central District, Hong Kong
  • GPS: 22°17’06.9″N 114°08’57.9″E
  • Open Hours: Mon to Sat 11:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Sun – many shops are closed.
  • Entrance Fee: Free
  • How to get to Upper Lascar Row (Cat Street): Take MTR to Sheung Wan Station and take Exit A-2. Walk for about 8 minutes via Hillier Street and Ladder Street.

IMG_6709

Wandering through the Upper Lascar Row, better known as Cat Street, feels like browsing through the fragments of Hong Kong’s past. The narrow street is fringed by antique shops, vintage objects, curiosities, and old-fashioned memorabilia, creating a fascinating mix of history and everyday commerce. Cat Street has long been a place where people trade antiques and second-hand goods for over 150 years.

 IMG_5433

There’s no exact document stating why it was named cat, some say cat burglars and pirates fenced their spoils here, and another theory is street peddlers are called “cats” and their wares are nicknamed “mouse goods”. There’s also a claim to prostitutes. And these could all be true because Cat Street was once a bustling street infamous for gaming parlors, brothels, and opium dens.

IMG_5451

As I looked through the stalls, I found myself wondering about the stories behind the objects and the people who once owned them. The street’s character also reflects Hong Kong’s long tradition of trading, collecting, and repurposing goods. With its colorful display, quirky finds, and atmospheric alleyways, Cat Street is an especially photo spot and a reminder that history can sometimes be found in the most unexpected objects.

IMG_5432


Tai Kwun

  • Address: Central, Central and Western District, Hong Kong
  • GPS: 22°16’52.8″N 114°09’14.4″E
  • Open Hours: Daily 8:00 AM – 11:00 PM
  • Entrance Fee: Free, but extra fees may apply to select temporary exhibitions or shows

IMG_5467
 

When I first stepped into Twai Kwun, it feels almost like walking through layers of Hong Kong’s past, while being cuddled by the energy of the modern Hong Kong. Its beautifully-preserved colonial buildings, open courtyards, stone walls, and eye-catching architectural details that stood the test of time make it an especially Instagrammable spot. Almost every corner here offers photo opportunity, we enjoyed taking pictures especially near the courtyard of the former prison cell that  exudes an open art gallery vibe. This is definitely one of my favorites on the list of Things to Do in Hong Kong Before or After Cruise.

copy_723C5886-F68A-49A9-8155-0FCBBDB4AFE1

But beyond its aesthetic appeal, Twai Kwun tells stories of Hong Kong’s colonial history, from its former police station and magistracy to its prison complex. Walking through these spaces, I found myself imagining officers, prisoners, lawyers, and everyday people who once moved through the same corridors.

 IMG_6832 2

Nowadays, galleries, cafes, events, and creative spaces have mushroomed here and continued expanding. Transforming Tai Kwun into a lively cultural destination. Proof that it is possible for an old place to preserve its history while becoming part of the city’s contemporary social life. Don’t miss the café at the former prison cell here, they serve good drinks. An ideal place to hang out and chill after a long, exhausting walk around Old Town Central.

 
IMG_6844 3
 


Pottinger Street

 

Walking along Pottinger Street, also known as Stone Slab Street, is more than a simple stroll through Hong Kong – it is a journey through the city’s social and cultural history. We dropped by here after our visit to Tai Kwun. Include this on your Things to Do in Hong Kong Before or After Cruise.

IMG_6873

Built in the 19th century, the street reflects the growth of Hong Kong as a colonial trading center and the changing lives of the people who lived and worked here. Its stone steps, shops, vendors and everyday interactions reveal how communities adapt, preserve traditions and create a sense of identity within a rapidly changing city. Today, Pottinger Street stands as a living reminder of how history continues to shape everyday urban life.

copy_C6FFCC1B-E3FC-4942-969C-CF4F16CCC65F

Visiting the Hong Kong Palace Museum became one of the most memorable cultural experiences of my trip, especially exploring Egypt Unveiled, a special exhibition running until August 31, 2026. This is on top of my list of Things to Do in Hong Kong Before or After Cruise.  Seeing ancient Egyptian artifacts presented in Hong Kong created an unexpected connection between two places separated by distance and years of history.

copy_3C64AF05-F832-44F8-A32B-913DDE9658F7

As I moved through the exhibition, the objects offered glimpses into ancient Egyptian beliefs, daily life, craftsmanship, and ideas about death and the afterlife. The experience made the exhibition feel more than a display of beautiful artifacts, it became the opportunity about how cultures preserve , interpret and shares histories across borders.

IMG_5598

The museum’s contemporary architecture and spacious galleries also made the visit visually striking, adding another layer to an experience that brought ancient history into a distinctly modern Hong Kong setting.

IMG_5565


4. INDULGE IN HONG KONG FOOD


On of the top Things to Do in Hong Kong before or after your cruise is trying and indulging in Hong Kong food. Here’s some of the restaurants we tried during our trip:

If there’s one place I would recommend you to eat in Hong Kong, that would be Lin Heung Lau. This place is known for its old-school Cantonese atmosphere and traditional tea-house culture. The restaurant offers a glimpse into the social rituals that once defined communal dining in Hong Kong.

 IMG_6553

Walking into Lin Heung Lau feels like stepping into a dining tradition that has become increasingly rare in Hong Kong. Sitting among the busy tables, shared dishes, and lively conversations, I could see why eating here is not simply about the food, but it is also about gathering, sharing, and maintaining cultural traditions.

IMG_6528

The restaurants authentic atmosphere make it an interesting stop for travelers looking to experience a more traditional side of Hong Kong, where food and social life are closely connected. The food here especially the dim sum are plump, densely packed and deeply savory. Everything we tried are delicious!

copy_C3A114D0-A3C2-43FA-83A4-8DF59A2F6535

One of the food experiences I was almost looking forward to in Hong Kong was trying the Peking duck at Peking Garden. The dish arrived  with its signature crisp, golden skin, while the tender neat was served alongside their pancakes, sauces, and fresh garnishes. Building each bite myself, layering the duck, sauce, and vegetables into a delicate wrap, made the meal feel as much like an experience as a dish.

Beyond the flavors, Peking duck reflects the communal nature of Chinese dining, where sharing food becomes part of the social experience. For me, the meal was a delicious way to connect with Hong Kong’s vibrant food culture while enjoying once of its most recognizable culinary experiences.

Recommended food:

  • Peking Duck

copy_99DEC34E-4B4D-4DCF-801B-B4E340D15CFF

Dining at Tsim Sha Tsui Hoi Choi Seafood Restaurant gave me the chance to enjoy classic Cantonese-style food alongside dishes that felt surprisingly familiar. The fresh food, the light seasoning, and shared plates reflected the communal character of communal Cantonese dining. I especially enjoyed the lumpia which added a Filipino connection that made the meal feel especially interesting. Having a dish so familiar to me alongside Cantonese flavors created an unexpected cultural overlap at the table. It was a reminder that food traditions rarely exists in isolation. Chinese culinary influences have traveled across Asia, adapted to different communities, and taken on new identities along the way. For me, the meal wasn’t just about trying Cantonese food, but also recognizing those shared culinary connections.

Recommended Food: Cantonese food

WHERE TO STAY IN HONG KONG


We flew to Hong Kong a day early for our Hong Kong to Xiamen Cruise, so we have like 1.5 extra day to explore Hong Kong before our scheduled departure. For our return flight, we took a late night flight so we’ll have extra time to explore Hong Kong.

HARBOUR PLAZA METROPOLIS

Whenever I’m in Hong Kong, I stay at the hotels inside Disneyland. It’s a tad expensive, but it’s worth it since the rooms are clean, spacious, and comfortable and walking distance to Disneyland. But for our Hong Kong to Xiamen Cruise, I stayed at Harbour Plaza Metropolis, it’s a stylish hotel perfectly located in Kowloon’s Hung Hom District. With comfortable accommodations and convenient transportation links, it’s an excellent base for exploring everything Hong Kong has to offer.
