BEST DESTINATIONS FOR ADMIRING THE MOON IN HONG KONG

As it represents a family reunion, spending a few hours appreciating the moon with loved ones during this Mid-Autumn Festival will be a great experience. Before setting out on your Mid-Autumn moongazing trip (or any other moon or stargazing adventure, for that matter), keep in mind that the visibility of the moon and stars isn’t always guaranteed.

You can download a stargazing app, like Star Walk, to help direct you on when and where will have the clearest visibility. It sends you notifications and offers a live map that shows you where the moon is relative to your location and where which stars are. You can also visit the Hong Kong Space Museum’s website. Here are the five best and most popular spots for admiring the moon in Hong Kong.

Five Popular Destinations For Admiring The Moon In Hong Kong

• Victoria Peak Garden

A popular location for a picnic that allows dogs is Victoria Peak Garden. It is a great place to view the moon right in town if you don’t want to travel very far. It was formerly the grounds and gardens of the summer residence of the governor of Hong Kong. The general public can now use it.

Outstanding views of Hong Kong may be seen in the garden, which is more tranquil than those from the Peak Tower or Peak Galleria. Due to the inclusion of Hong Kong Island’s west and south sides, the views are also more expansive.

• Hong Kong Space Museum Astropark

While the Hong Kong Space Museum is located in Tsim Sha Tsui, there is also an Astropark branch of the museum in Sai Kung. Near the High Island Reservoir, inside the Chong Hung Water Sports Centre, is where you’ll find the Astropark. It boasts astronomical equipment from the ancient to the current era, including Chinese and western astronomical instruments for stargazing.

The Astropark is separated into three zones: the educational zone is for daytime visitors, and the Naked-Eye Observation Area and Telescopic Observation Area are for amateur astronomers who want to observe the stars, or in this instance, the moon.

• Tai Mei Tuk

Due in part to its stunning two-kilometre dam that spans the Tolo Harbour, Tai Mei Tuk is a popular cycling destination, especially for families and beginners. In addition, it’s a well-liked location for kayaking, hiking, kite flying, and, of course, moongazing.

Tai Mei Tuk is one of the groups of villages along Plover Cove Dam, each of which has its own temples and ancestral halls. The reservoir’s expansive surroundings are the perfect spot for moongazing.

• Cape D’Aguilar

The rocky shoreline, craggy cliffs, and rough waters in this windswept area of Shek O provide the perfect setting for admiring the Mid-Autumn lunar spectacle. From the bus station on Cape D’Aguilar Road, it takes about an hour of hiking to reach the stony region, but the entire hike is delightful.

After arriving at the coast, you will be met with expansive vistas of sky and water that allow for clear views of the hanging moon and the soothing sound of lapping waves that wonderfully complements the landscape.

• Grass Island

As the name suggests, this little, uninhabited island is a lush green haven from the city and is located north of Sai Kung. Although it is a well-liked location for camping and picnics, the wide open spaces of rolling grassland that slope toward the seaside also make a cosy and peaceful atmosphere for enjoying the full moon.

Grass Island, which can only be reached by ferry, is undoubtedly remote for the majority of us city dwellers, but this is precisely why it offers the cleanest skies and the best moongazing opportunities.
