Quite trivial for the next kilometer; just stay on the boardwalk, soaking-in the views

Lots of decorative art pieces along the way

Stay on the boardwalk, passing all the piers

You will be leaving the harbour for a few minutes as you walk on Man Kwong Street

Then back on the boardwalk for a long while

Keep going on the boardwalk, pass through the open fences


Turn right into Shing Sai road.
