【推荐2】Hong Kong is one of the most expensive cities in the world, with its lavish food and giant shopping malls. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy the city without stretching your wallet. With good planning, you can enjoy many things in Hong Kong for free.
1. Go gallery hopping and marvel at beautiful artworks
Hong Kong is home to plenty of independent art galleries that exhibit works from various artists around the world. While galleries are spread across the city, we argue that the best place to go gallery hopping is around Central and Sheung Wan.
2. Get up-close with nature at one of the scenic hiking trails
It’s easy to visualize images of Hong Kong’s breathtaking skyline when thinking of the city. But Hong Kong is also filled with thick greenery, mountains, and amazing natural landscapes. So, go hiking at any of the scenic trails the city has. For hiking beginners, the Peak trail is among the easiest and in the end, you’ll be treated to epic views of Victoria Harbour. Also perfect for newbies but a little more into nature is Dragon’s Back.
3. Step back in time at the traditional villages
Due to urbanization, Hong Kong’s traditional villages have been in massive decline throughout the years. With those still standing today, it serves as a time machine to showcase Hong Kong’s past. Among the best-preserved villages is Tsang Tai Uk. The original brick, timber, and granite materials are still well-maintained within the walls.

【推荐2】There are thousands of incredible trails that allow us to get up close to nature and here are 4 of the best hiking trails in the world.
Pennine Way, the United Kingdom
Stretching 268 miles from the Derbyshire Peak District to the Scottish Borders, the Pennine Way is the United Kingdom’s most famous long-distance path. The entire walk takes around three weeks, passing over wild east of Manchester and through the picturesque Yorkshire Dales, before crossing the ancient border of Hadrian’s Wall and moving on toward Scotland.
Camino de Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Rather than following a single path, the Camino, also known as the Way of St James, is actually a series of different pilgrimage (朝圣) routes. The most popular modern route follows a line across northern Spain from the French Pyrenees. While some choose to stay at monasteries (修道院) along the way, plenty of operators offer hotel stays and luggage transfers.
Appalachian Trail, the United States
Extending for 2,200 miles, the Appalachian Trail is billed as the longest hiking-only footpath in the world. It runs from Springer Mountain in Georgia to Mount Katahdin in Maine, passing through some of the most remote places in the United States. Those keen on comfort can use companies like Go Shenandoah, which offers pre-booked accommodation and packed lunches.
The Basho Wayfarer, Japan
This self-guided trip follows a route taken by the poet Matsuo Basho over 300 years ago. The six-day hike starts in Sendai and works its way through the northern Toboku region, passing through the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hiraizumi and along the ancient Dewa Kaido path, with its wonderful forests, before heading into the mountains of Natagiri-toge and finishing at the temple of Yamadera.

【推荐3】Get a taste of Hangzhou
As one of the eight great cuisines of China, Hangzhou dishes gain great popularity. Here are a few must-try meals, each of which has an age-old story.
Dongpo Pork (red-braised pork belly)
Dongpo Pork was named after the Song Dynasty poet and official, Su Dongpo. Su launched a thorough dredging (疏浚) of the West Lake, which had great benefits for the locals. To express their gratitude, they gifted Su a lot of pork. Su transformed the traditional cooking process—adding yellow wine and stewing it on low heat. After that, the dish became widely favored.
West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy
Legend has it that two brothers surnamed Song lived in Hangzhou. The elder brother was murdered. In fear for his safety, the younger brother decided to leave. During his farewell dinner, his sister-in-law cooked a dish that was both sweet and sour, implying that he should “not forget the sour amid the sweet”. The younger brother later returned as a high-ranking official, avenged (报仇) his brother’s murder and sought out his sister-in-law. Since then, West Lake Carp in Vinegar Gravy has been handed down.
Sister Song’s Fish Soup
During the Song Dynasty, a woman nicknamed Sister Song made a living by selling fish soup alongside the West Lake. During a trip to the West Lake, Emperor Gaozong tasted her fish soup and spoke very highly of it. The soup’s reputation spread far and wide, and it became a calling card for the city.
Sauteed Shrimps with Longjing Tea
The story of this dish relates to the Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty. On a tour to Hangzhou, one of the emperor’s chefs accidentally dropped Longjing tea leaves into the sauteed shrimps. The fragrance of the tea combined with the texture of the shrimp won the emperor over and a classic Hangzhou dish was born.
