  • Gain some perspective on the dramatic skyline of the islands. The Star Ferries offer the best chance to capture the dramatic skyscrapers (see Star Ferry).

  • Big Buddha on Lantau

    The dramatic setting in itself is worth a picture, let alone the mighty Buddha (see Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery).

  • Handsome high-prowed fishing boats, squat sampans and busy boatyards are just some of the sights (see Cheung Chau Island).

  • Black mineral sand beach. Enjoy a stroll around the headland to the Westin Resort (see Westin Macau)for a drink.

  • The large woven hats draped with a black cotton fringe come from the Hakka people, once a distinct ethnic group in the region. Many women wear these hats around Hong Kong, though not all wearers are ethnic Hakka.

  • There’s no official viewing area at the airport, so take a taxi or walk to the small hill (the only natural part of this man-made island) just opposite Tung Chung town. There’s a footpath to the summit and its pagoda.

  • The restaurants display the subject of their menus live and swimming in huge outdoor fish tanks. You’ll see some edible leviathans here from monster grouper to giant lobsters and an absorbing array of other fidgeting crustacea and teeming sealife.

  • Lou Lim Ieoc Garden

    Shady trees, lots of benches; lotus ponds.

  • Good displays on history and architecture.

  • Locals have dubbed it “Dr Ho’s erection” in honour of casino mogul Dr Stanley Ho. At 338 m (1,107 ft), it pips Paris’s Eiffel Tower and is the centrepiece of a planned theme park and restaurant complex. The glass floor revolving restaurant is not for the faint of heart.
