If you find yourself hungry the moment you arrive at Tung Chung MTR Station, an easy option would be to head straight to Citygate Outlets (which can’t be hard to find considering it’s connected to the station!). Spread across the old and new wings of the mall you’ll find almost too many choices to pick from. Here are just a few of our favourites:

Food Opera

Citygate’s Food Opera comprises nine distinctive food stalls spanning a range of Asian cuisines, including Tin Hua Station Beef Brisket, Thai Chiu, Korea House and Pepper Lunch. We love that this food court’s design incorporates vintage signs, bamboo scaffolding, traditional slang and other elements of Old Hong Kong, as well as illustrations by local artists.

Things To Do Around Tung Chung

Tung Chung Ngong Ping 360 Rescue Trail: Big Buddha

Ngong Ping 360 Rescue Trail: Tung Chung to Big Buddha Hike

Want a challenge? Take on the hike to the Big Buddha, one of the most iconic landmarks of Hong Kong! Out of all the hikes. This three-to-four-hour long hike is pretty much uphill all the way with plenty of steps, the perfect gym replacement (#legday, anyone?). Getting to the actual starting point may be quite confusing for those that aren’t familiar with Tung Chung, so just head out from MTR exit A, cross the road and follow the bike path right next to the rack of bikes in front of you.

Tung Chung Battery

If you’re into history, head to this heritage site for a detour to one of the oldest parts of Hong Kong. It allows you to witness a former artillery battery which was built in 1817, 24 years before the British took over Hong Kong! It’s the ideal spot to lay back on the grassy surface and wind down for a bit.

To get there, head out from MTR exit B, cross the water fountain and keep walking until you reach the main road (you’ll see the Tung Chung Swimming Pool right opposite you). Don’t cross the road, but continue walking on your left, until you reach Shun Tung Road, cross the road here and you’ll see stairs going up right ahead. Hike up the mini hill (it’s not long at all) and when you descend, you’ll find the battery on your right!
