Been to Hong Kong Disneyland? Luckily, it’s not Hong Kong’s only theme park — and there are even a couple of new ones for repeat tourists! In September 2021, Ocean Park Water World launched as Asia’s first year-round, all-weather waterfront water park. And if you’re not a big fan of splashing around, Monopoly Dreams at The Peak delivers a vibrant experience inspired by the famous board game. Meanwhile, the Legoland Discovery Centre invites Lego fans from around the world to explore and play in their colourful space.
Designated as part of the Frontier Closed Area in 1951, Sha Tau Kok began to welcome non-residents to the area in June 2022. Curious travellers can now take a peek at the once-closed town!
