Description

Begin your journey at Chi Lin Pure Land, the only female jungle in Hong Kong. Admire the wood structure building group imitating the Tang Dynasty, depicting the prosperous Tang Dynasty with cornices, arch of wooden architecture, and red lacquer carved beams. Stroll through the tranquil Nanlian Garden Pool, where the sound of morning bells, evening drums, and chanting sutras washes away the hustle and bustle. Experience a moment of Zen as ginkgo leaves fall onto the green slate, freezing time and space in the consciousness of a thousand years ago. Next, visit Wong Tai Sin Temple, a core landmark of Hong Kong Taoist culture. Under the glazed tiles, see believers holding incense and candles as they shuttle between the Three Holy Halls (jointly worshipped by Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism) and the Nine Dragon Wall. Learn about the custom of seeking divination, which has lasted for a hundred years. Discover how traditional ceremonies have been transformed into staged experiences, integrating values such as filial piety, brotherly love, loyalty, and trustworthiness into modern life. Continue to Central Street Market, a modern living laboratory housed in a historical building built in 1939. Explore cultural and creative shops and light food workshops, and browse the handmade works of local designers at the weekend market. Enjoy the performances of street performers and see art exhibition information scrolling on electronic screens. Experience the aroma of coffee and the convenience of electronic payment prompts, as the hustle and bustle of traditional vegetable markets is replaced by a creative hub for young people to explore urban culture. Finally, ride the Peak Cable Car, a century-old steel cable car that offers panoramic views of the Central skyscraper complex from a tilted angle. Admire the glass observation deck and intelligent navigation system, which endow the cable car with modern charm. At dusk, overlook the lights of Victoria Harbour from the top of the Lingxiao Pavilion, where traditional transportation and the neon lights of the Financial City form a spatiotemporal dialogue, confirming Hong Kong's vitality of 'relying on the motherland and facing the world'.
