Hong Kong

Lion Rock is a symbol of Hong Kong's spirit and resilience, often referred to as the 'Lion Rock Spirit' representing the hardworking, persevering ethos of its people. Geologically, it is a prominent granite hill on the Kowloon Peninsula offering panoramic views of Kowloon and the New Territories, and it forms part of Lion Rock Country Park established to conserve local natural habitats.

Ma On Shan (馬鞍山) is a mixed urban and natural area on the eastern shore of Tolo Harbour in the New Territories of Hong Kong. It is named after the saddle-shaped Ma On Shan peak. The area blends natural features (Ma On Shan Peak and the Country Park) with post‑industrial and new-town development: it has a history of iron ore mining (late 19th–20th century) and later rapid residential expansion as part of Hong Kong’s new towns. Today it is valued for its hiking, harbour views, and as a residential and community hub.

Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Park sits on the redeveloped Kai Tak harbourfront, built on land that once formed part of the famous Kai Tak Airport runway. The site is significant as a symbol of Hong Kong's urban renewal — transforming an iconic aviation area into a modern cruise terminal and public open space that reconnects Kowloon with Victoria Harbour.

Location: K11 MUSEA sits at Victoria Dockside in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Cultural importance: Conceived as a "museum-retail" destination, it blends contemporary art, design and lifestyle retail to promote cultural engagement within a commercial setting. It is a flagship project of the K11 brand that aims to make art accessible to the public and to anchor the revitalization of the harbourfront precinct.

Harbour City is one of Hong Kong's largest and most influential retail and entertainment complexes, occupying a prime waterfront location in Tsim Sha Tsui. It plays a major role in Hong Kong's post-war commercial development and the growth of Kowloon as a tourist and shopping district. The complex integrates modern retail culture with the city's maritime heritage, acting as a gateway for visitors arriving by sea and providing panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the Hong Kong Island skyline.

Cape D’Aguilar Marine Reserve (established 1996) is one of Hong Kong’s protected marine areas on the southeastern tip of Hong Kong Island. It conserves a representative stretch of rocky shoreline, intertidal habitats and nearshore marine communities in the South China Sea. The reserve protects rich biodiversity—intertidal invertebrates, reef fish, and sessile organisms—and serves as an important outdoor classroom and research site for marine science and conservation in Hong Kong.

Mount Johnston (Yuk Kwai Shan) and the Ap Lei Pai headland form the southern tip of Ap Lei Chau, a small island off the southern coast of Hong Kong Island. The area is valued for its dramatic coastal scenery, panoramic views of Victoria Harbour and the surrounding islands, and as a compact example of Hong Kong's contrast between urban development and natural hillside. The ridge and headland have local recreational importance as a quick, accessible hike offering rewarding outlooks without traveling far from the city.

Quarry Bay Park is an important urban green space on Hong Kong Island that provides residents and visitors with landscaped gardens, leisure facilities and a quiet refuge from the dense city fabric. It contributes to local community life as a recreational hub near the Taikoo / Quarry Bay commercial and residential districts and offers greenery and harbour-facing views that enhance urban liveability.

Tai Po Waterfront Park is one of Hong Kong's largest public parks and a flagship example of urban waterfront reclamation and regeneration in the New Territories. It provides an accessible stretch of green space along Tolo Harbour, linking residents with coastal scenery and serving as an important recreational hub for the Tai Po community and visitors from across Hong Kong.

Sai Wan Swimming Shed is a low-key, historically beloved wooden pier-and-shed structure on the western shore of Hong Kong Island (Western District). Long used by local sea swimmers and generations of residents, it represents a simple, community-oriented coastal swimming tradition that contrasts with Hong Kong's high-rise image. The shed and adjoining wooden platform are also valued as an informal public viewpoint offering unobstructed western-facing sea and sunset vistas.

Kennedy Town Promenade sits on the western edge of Hong Kong Island along Victoria Harbour and reflects the area's shift from a working-class, industrial waterfront to a refurbished public space valued for recreation and harbour-facing views. The neighbourhood (Kennedy Town) itself is named after Governor Arthur Edward Kennedy and has a layered history of colonial-era development, fishing and dockside activity, followed by recent gentrification and urban renewal that opened up the shoreline to the public.

Noah’s Ark Hong Kong on Ma Wan is a full-size replica of the biblical Ark and a themed educational attraction combining faith-based storytelling with conservation, family tourism and local heritage. Opened in the late 2000s as part of the Park Island development, the site is notable for blending built attractions with Ma Wan’s public park and waterfront, offering unique views of the Tsing Ma Bridge and Hong Kong’s Western waters. It serves as a family-oriented cultural landmark in a residential island setting and promotes environmental education and community outreach.

Tsing Ma Bridge (part of the Lantau Link) is a major engineering landmark in Hong Kong that opened in 1997. It connects Tsing Yi and Ma Wan and provides a vital transport link to Lantau Island and Hong Kong International Airport. The bridge is notable as one of the world's longest suspension bridges with a main span of 1,377 m and a dual-deck design carrying both road and rail. It symbolises Hong Kong's modern infrastructure and post-1997 connectivity.
