ASIA CHINA (HONG KONG SAR)
Keep Tsim Sha Tsui and Avenue of Stars together as one harbourfront walk, then cross to Central and Sheung Wan for the escalator route and Man Mo Temple. Nan Lian Garden and Kowloon Walled City Park make a separate Diamond Hill–Kowloon City outing; Hong Kong Park fits near Admiralty. Dragon’s Back is a separate south-east-coast hike, not a city-centre stop. Public grounds are free; fares, food, indoor attractions and booked facilities may cost extra.
