Don't just know about Kennedy Town when you come to Hong Kong
The seaside sunset here is really stunning... and the key point is that there are fewer people!
There are also many benches in the park... you can basically see the sunset from any of them
There's even a retired 'train🚄' with air conditioning inside... it's so comfortable to sit in here and watch a sunset

Old KCR/MTR trains at Wan Chai Harbourfront
#christmastrip #wanchaipromenade #oldtrain
A great news for MTR / train fans - an old train will be preserved at Wan Chai Promenade and open to visitors.
But actually Hongkongers should be very familiar with the train compartment - it had been in service for a long time until the extension of East Rail line to Admiralty.
It seems that the train compartment will be decorated with festive items, e.g. bells and Christmas leaves for Christmas.

Christmas lights at Wan Chai Promenade
#christmastrip #christmaslights #wanchaipromenade #hk
One of the best place is enjoy the Christmas lights on both shores of the Victoria Harbour is the Wan Chai Promenade.
How to get there: MTR Exhibition Centre station / 15minutes walk from MTR Wan Chai station.
From here, you can enjoy the festive decorations at the waterfront leisure area as well as the buildings at Wan Chai and Tsim Sha Tsui.
However, you may note that some of the decorations had already been removed after the New Year Day (the duration of Christmas lights was really short...).

New exhibition of retired East Rail Line train at Wan Chai Harbourfront
#christmastrip #oldtrain #wanchaipromenade
This Christmas there is a new exhibition of retired East Rail line train at Wan Chai harbour front, attracting a lot of train lovers.
Interestingly, the train had been retired upon the extension of East Rail Line to Hong Kong Island. So it had never been on Hong Kong Island before this exhibition, and is not really quite compatible with Hong Kong Island.
Nevertheless, it is still worthwhile to pay a visit and enjoy some historical memories.

Christmas night visit to Wan Chai Promenade Hong Kong
#christmastrip #wanchaipromenade #wanchaipier #hk
Wan Chai Promenade is one of the most visited promenade in Hong Kong, often featuring different festive decorations.
While it spans from Wan Chai to Causeway Bay, the most accessible section is near Wan Chai Pier, where you can take ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom or take MTR via Exhibition station.
The Christmas decoration this year features a Christmas train - not sure why there should be trains in Christmas ....

The 'Fly Head' train reappears at Wan Chai 'Waterfront Station'
🏖️ Environment/Facilities: To thank the retired trains for their years of service to the public, the MTR Corporation has arranged special trips for the mid-life refurbished trains on the East Rail Line (also known as 'Fly Head') and the second phase of the Light Rail before their retirement. These trains will be stationed at Wan Chai Waterfront, attracting railway enthusiasts to take photos and check in.
💞 Recommended Reason: The 'Fly Head' is a mid-life refurbished train on the East Rail Line, named for its streamlined front with curved surfaces and silver-gray design. It served Hong Kong for 40 years and was replaced by modern trains last year. This time, the MTR has transported two 'Fly Head' carriages to 'Waterfront Station', where the public can enter the carriages via newly installed stairs or the stepped platform design of 'Waterfront Station'.
📍 Address: Boarding Station: Wan Chai Water Sports and Recreation Theme Area, about a 5-minute walk from Exit A2 of Wan Chai Convention Station
🕰️ Business Hours: 10:00 AM to 10:00 PM
⭐️ Recommendation Index: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 (5/5)

Free photography in Hong Kong is great. The subway is right next to the sea.
The graffiti along the way are really cute🎨
There are many check-in devices along the road where you can take photos!

Hello Harbour Station!
#freehotelstay It's one of those things I love in HK: promenades. Harbour Chill in Wan Chai Temporary Promenade showcases this station with a retired train. It's one of the recycling efforts being done and it's a great change where children can play around.
I kept looking inside and outside the train. I never realised it could be that spacious. After all, there are not many people in it unlike when it was running.

Walk From Central to Wan Chai
It's possible. It really is, as long as you stay on the promenade side. It's quite a long walk but the view of Kowloon side is beautiful. You also get to see many people chilling, biking, jogging, walking, taking pictures, and playing with their kids or dogs.
I tried it today as it was really bright out and I just followed the connected promenades until I ended up in Wan Chai Harbour Front.

Wanchai Promenade - 2023 CNY and Valentine Day
Do not miss this check-in spot for snapshots if you have the chance to visit Golden Bauhinia Square. Located beside Golden Bauhinia Square in Hong Kong Island, the Wanchai "Temporary" Promenade is one of the newest tourist spots, which is worth a short visit before taking the ferry to Kowloon.
