Use an Octopus card for all transit. The Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour is one of the world's great commutes for HK$3.
The iconic red lantern reflections in the Tuojiang River are most beautiful at dusk when the stilted houses (ๅ่ๆฅผ) light up. Cross the Hongqiao bridge at night and walk downstream along the south bank โ you'll find the quieter riverside away from souvenir stalls.

๐จ๐ณ Fenghuang Fun Fact
Fenghuang means 'phoenix' in Chinese and the town is shaped like a phoenix in flight when viewed from above. It was the birthplace of Shen Congwen (1902โ1988), widely considered the greatest Chinese prose writer of the 20th century and a five-time Nobel Prize nominee. The town's Tujia and Miao ethnic minorities maintain living traditions of hand-woven batik fabric and silver jewellery.
