On our last day in Hong Kong we tried to see as much as possible including the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car, Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha), Tsim Sha Tsui, Avenue of Stars, Hong Kong Harbour, Tim Ho Wan, Bruce Lee Statue and Police Story Filming Locations. We started the day by taking the MTR from Hong Kong Disneyland to Tung Chung where we got on the Ngong Ping 360 cable car in a crystal cabin so we had a great view of the surrounding area. The Ngong Ping 360 cable car took us to Ngong Ping Village where we walked to the Big Buddha (Tian Tan Buddha) and then up its 268 steps to the top. After exploring the Tian Tan Buddha we went back down and visited the Po Lin Monastery before taking the Ngong Ping 360 cable car back down the mountain. We then headed into Hong Kong, had dinner at Tim Ho Wan, the cheapest Michelin Star Restaurant in the world, had a selection of BBQ pork buns, noodles, Dims, Har Got, Shumai, spring roles, rice, etc. Then went to admire the view of Victoria Harbour from Tsim Sha Tsui. We walked along the avenue of stars and saw hand prints of Hong Kong actors like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yung Fat, Sammy Hung and Maggie Cheung. As well as the Bruce Lee statue. Finally we visited the filming location of the Jackie Chan film Police Story at the Wing on Plaza shopping Mall.

A culinary adventure followed at Tim Ho Wan, the world's cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant, where they savored delectable dim sum. The day concluded with a stroll along the Avenue of Stars, admiring the handprints of iconic Hong Kong actors and the Bruce Lee statue, and a visit to the Police Story filming location. This action-packed itinerary showcases Hong Kong's diverse offerings, from spiritual serenity to vibrant city life.
