Another local favourite place for the locals, that most tourists know nothing about is the Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree.

The place is usually bustling with people during the Chinese New Year where thousands of visitors pay a visit in order to start the new year in a beautiful manner. Having said that, you can go knocking at the Lam Tsuen Wishing Tree any time of the year. Firstly, you will have to write down your wish on a piece of ceremonial paper or even streamers. And then you have to tie it onto an orange and toss it onto any of the branches on the trees here. If that fruit remains on the tree, your wish will come true soon.
There is a whole other side to Hong Kong that no one quite knows about. Did you know that Hong Kong is endowed with beautiful pristine beaches? There are over 260 islands here, and the coastline stretches on and on. Therefore, don't miss out on the beaches when in Hong Kong!
