Lilly boards the iconic Peak Tram up to the top of Victoria Peak, where she explores the scenic nature trails that circle the mountain. Her city experience continues aboard the famous Star Ferry, which has carried passengers across Victoria Harbour for more than a century.
But Hong Kong is more than just the city. On nearby Lantau Island, Lilly cycles off-road at the island’s purpose-built mountain biking track, before visiting a fishing village known as the Venice of Hong Kong, for its stilted houses. Her adventure concludes at the Tian Tan Buddha, one of the largest seated bronze Buddha statues in the world and a cable car ride above the island’s mountains.
Along the way, she meets local residents who share insights and guide her through the places that bring Hong Kong to life.
