Taxis are the most convenient way to get from the airport to the city centre, taking approximately 30 to 50 minutes. You can also board the Airport Express, which will get you to Hong Kong station in around 25 minutes. Various local buses can also be found outside the airport terminal and will transport you to different districts in Hong Kong.

With its awe inspiring skyscrapers, incredible natural beauty, and gorgeous beaches, East Asia’s ‘Pearl of the Orient’ offers a treasure trove of unforgettable experiences for all who visit.

Savour the picturesque views of Hong Kong’s renowned skyline from Victoria Peak – the highest point on Hong Kong Island. To get there, you can ride on the historic Peak Tram, which passes through the affluent neighbourhoods of Admiralty, Central, and Mid-Levels.

Upon stepping away from the bustling business districts, you’ll find that Hong Kong is brimming with natural beauty. If you wish to hike, we recommend visiting Dragon’s Back. This popular route is located on the southern half of Hong Kong Island and offers scenic views of rolling mountains and the coastline. We also recommend visiting Repulse Bay, which is home to a popular beach, an upscale promenade, and trendy restaurants.

If you are looking for a memorable day trip, Lantau Island is the ideal destination for all types of travellers as it offers a variety of activities that cater to a variety of interests. Lose yourself in lush, natural beauty by walking along one of the many hiking trails that traverse through country parks and fishing villages with stilt houses. For a different kind of scenic view, head to the magnificent Tsing Ma Bridge, a long suspension bridge that connects Lantau Island with Tsing Yi. We also recommend visiting Cheung Sha Beach in the south as it is Hong Kong's longest stretch of sand and a popular spot with water sports enthusiasts.

Before travelling with Cathay Pacific, book your stay at one of Hong Kong’s premier and most renowned hotels. We recommend staying at the Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott for its close proximity to Hong Kong Disneyland and Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, being just a stone’s throw away from the city’s major dining and nightlife hub of Central. Discover and redeem incredible rewards, including room upgrades, access to premier lounges, and additional miles on top of what you earn when flying with Cathay Pacific.

Hong Kong boasts a delicious restaurant scene, ranging from Michelin starred fine dining restaurants such as Caprice and Lung King Heen to street food classics like ‘gai daan zai’ (egg waffles). Be sure to also visit Little Bao as it takes inspiration from American burger culture by offering a variety of delicious options such as hoisin ketchup drizzled pork belly and vegetarian-friendly shiitake tempeh sandwiched between gigantic steamed buns. Don't forget to save room for dessert; the salted caramel and matcha ice cream sandwiches are a must-try. If you want to eat like a local, head to one of the many Cantonese ‘cha chaan tengs’ (tea restaurants) in Kowloon to sample the wonton noodle soup or sweet and sour pork.
