Looking for Quirky Things to Do Off the Beaten Path in Hong Kong?

Are you bored of the cliché guidebooks suggestions for the major tourist attractions in Hong Kong? Are you eager to go off the beaten track and explore more of this fascinating city? When you look beyond the obvious tourist hotspots, you will find that there is so much more happening in Hong Kong and that this city has infinite weird and wonderful experiences to enjoy. 

Here are a few of the most interesting and wacky things that you can do while you are in Hong Kong:

Go Clam Digging

You might not have thought of Hong Kong as a place to go digging for clams, but it is a favourite pastime on Mui Wo, a town located on Lantau Island. The best place to look for clams is the point when the River Silver enters Silvermine Bay. You can also visit the peaceful and quiet village of Shui Hau, where you can get the digging tools from the Fung Wong Bungalow Centre. If you get yourself some clams, the Bungalow will even cook them up for you.

Check Out Great Street Art

When the thought of visiting an art gallery seems a little bit boring and cliché, why not take a stroll down the street and check out some modern and edgy street art instead. Some of the best examples of street art in the city are at the intersection of Oil Street and Victoria Harbour. The concrete walls in this seaside location are festooned with a great collection of colourful and quirky paintings.

Go on a Vertical Bar Crawl

Have you ever been on a night out where getting to the next bar required going up an elevator rather than walking down the street? At the Circle Tower in Causeway Ball, you will find more than 20 bars, one on each floor. You can start at the top and work your way down, or vice versa.

Visit a Farm on a Roof

The HK farm is a tiny island of green in the middle of a sea of grey concrete. Located on a 4,000 square foot rooftop, it grows local organic produce. It also offers a number of activities for visitors, such as a farmer’s market, tours and beekeeping demonstrations.

These are just a few of the quirky and fascinating things that you will find when you venture off the beaten path in Hong Kong.
