Travel tips
Hong Kong International Airport offers an expansive selection of facilities and amenities for passengers before they continue their journey to the heart of Hong Kong. Explore local and international restaurants serving diverse cuisine, indulge in some retail therapy at trendy shops, access ATMs, or take advantage of the complimentary shower facilities upon your arrival into the city. Hong Kong International Airport also has services catered to passengers requiring special assistance.
Taxis are the most convenient way to get from the airport to the city centre as it takes approximately 30 to 50 minutes. The Airport Express will transport you to centrally-located Hong Kong station in around 25 minutes, while many local buses are also available and will take you to a number of destinations in the city.
Home to a world famous skyline, mouth-watering cuisine, and abundant natural beauty, there’s little wonder how Hong Kong earned its nickname ‘Pearl of the Orient’.
For the quintessential Hong Kong experience, take a ride on the historic Peak Tram to Victoria Peak - the highest point on Hong Kong Island. Upon reaching the top, you can marvel at the city’s glittering harbour, iconic skyscrapers, and lush emerald hills. While here, be sure to enjoy a scenic lunch at one of the many restaurants in and around The Peak Galleria.
To get up close and personal with Hong Kong’s natural beauty, there are plenty of hikes available. One of the most popular is Dragon’s Back as it passes through Hong Kong Island and offers picturesque views of rolling mountains and the coastline. We also recommend visiting Lantau Island, where you will discover the massive Tian Tan Buddha.
For those looking to venture on a day trip, Stanley is a beachside hangout that emanates a cosmopolitan vibe and offers a variety of activities ideal for all types of travellers. At the heart of this seaside suburb lies bustling Stanley Market, a sprawling collection of clothing and lifestyle shops separated from the sea by the Stanley Waterfront Promenade. Further up, you will find 19th-century Murray House, which is now brimming with a variety of restaurants. To soak up the sun and engage in watersport activities, head to Stanley Main Beach, which runs along the eastern coastline. If you are feeling more adventurous, explore the Stanley Military Cemetery, which is situated a stone’s throw away from the tranquillity of St. Stephen's Beach.
Before travelling with Cathay Pacific, book your stay at one of Hong Kong’s most renowned hotels to earn exciting rewards including room upgrades, lounge access, and extra miles. Hotels such as the Rosewood Hong Kong, Hotel ICON, and Novotel Citygate Hong Kong are great options to relax, rejuvenate, and create an incredibly memorable trip in Asia’s World City.
Hong Kong’s dining scene is as diverse as it is delicious. If you're in the mood for hearty Italian cuisine, pay a visit to Pici. The menu is designed for family-style sharing and features mouth-watering dishes such as pappardelle topped with an eight-hour beef cheek ragu, house special cacio e pepe pasta, and a creamy tiramisu. For a more upscale experience, PLUME wine bar in Central is an excellent choice. With 500 wines on their list, it pairs perfectly with the French staples of croque monsieurs with a fancy truffled twist and the decadent platters of oysters and caviar tarts. If you are craving a taste of authentic Hong Kong dishes, we recommend visiting a local ‘cha chaan teng’ (tea restaurant), where you can enjoy local favourites such as wonton noodle soup and sweet and sour pork.
