Hong Kong Tourist Trap Tips by PavlH
Hong Kong Tourist Traps: 169 reviews and 102 photos
Lan Kwai Fong is where all the tourists go to meet up with other westerners. The bars spill out into the road and it seems to be the only place that needs a police presence.
The whole point of travel is to try new things - not to go somewhere 'like home but warmer/cheaper'.
Do as the locals do - drink tea and enjoy the surroundings without an alcohol induced haze.
And no, I am not tea-total, I enjoy a drink as much as most - I did find some snake wine in a small market and enjoyed that whilst watching the mahjong.
Unique Suggestions: Walk round - see what's there, then go somewhere interesting.
Fun Alternatives: Go watch the horse-racing at Happy Valley or Sha Tin from the public stands.
Go hiking round Tai Tam.
Go anywhere else!
