Eight Routes to Roam Hong Kong

Hong Kong stands out as a top tourist hotspot in Asia and a premier hub for mega events. With its delightful climate in November and December, the city offers an ideal setting for visitors to explore and enjoy.

During the National Games, eight “pop-up” NG Routes, which cover competition venues and surrounding distinctive landmarks, have been designed to invite visitors to immerse themselves in the excitement of the NG and explore the various arts, cultural and leisure destinations of the city.

The Shenzhen Bay Port connecting Shenzhen and Hong Kong will form part of the route for the National Games cross-boundary marathon, giving full play to the important role of the 15th National Games in promoting regional integration and integrated development of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao.

We are excited to highlight three routes that showcase the city’s vibrant culture:

  • Experience the dynamic character of Hong Kong Island by exploring key spots such as Tamar Park, the Central and Western District Promenade, and Tai Kwun. This route features tranquil green spaces with impressive harbour views, a vibrant waterfront promenade and an iconic heritage and arts hub, offering an inspiring blend of urban relaxation, culture, and sightseeing.
  • Discover Kowloon’s transformation by visiting landmark destinations such as the brand-new Kai Tak Stadium & Kai Tak Gallery, the bustling Kai Tak Mall and Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground, the tranquil Sung Wong Toi Garden, and the historic Kowloon Walled City Park. This route showcases the district’s fusion of sporting achievement, modern living, and rich local heritage.
  • Enjoy the charm of the New Territories ranging from the scenic Tsuen Wan Ferry Pier to the well-equipped Tsuen Wan Sports Centre, the Tsuen Wan West Promenade and its captivating sunset views, as well as the Sam Tung Uk Museum located at the site of a former Hakka walled village and home to the Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage Centre. This journey offers a refreshing combination of waterfront leisure, sports facilities, and a fascinating look into Hong Kong’s cultural heritage.

To enrich the visits with fun and interaction, visitors can scan the WebAR QR code for an interactive AR experience that blends information with entertainment.
