Tips & Tricks from Real Parents

1

The Bubble Tram is a rotating glass gondola that circles the top of the tower. Kids love it and the rotation means everyone gets the view without fighting over window seats.

2

Skip the tower during midday when it is expensive, crowded, and hazy. Come at 4pm to enjoy the park, then go up at sunset for spectacular views as city lights come on.

3

The fountain and light show at 7:30 PM on the ground level is FREE and better than paid shows in Hong Kong. Kids will be mesmerized.

4

There is a Sky Drop free-fall ride at the top. Skip it if your kids are under 10 or scared of heights. It is genuinely terrifying.

5

Bring or rent a bike. The 3-km canal path is stroller and bike friendly with dedicated lanes.

A Real Parent's Story

The sunset view that made my 7-year-old cry

Not from fear. From beauty. She watched the sun sink behind the Pearl River and whispered 'It looks like the world is made of gold.'

Read full story

I almost skipped the tower thinking it was a tourist trap. But my daughter begged to go up. We timed it for sunset and the entire city turned amber. She stood on the glass floor, terrified but brave, and watched the river snake through the city. Then she started crying. Not scared tears, but overwhelmed-by-beauty tears. I held her hand and we stood there for 20 minutes. I will never forget it.
