Book a trip from Cebu to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific , fares from USD270

The most convenient way to reach the city centre from the airport is by taxi, taking approximately 30 to 50 minutes. Alternatively, you can opt for the Airport Express, which will transport you to the centrally-located Hong Kong station in around 25 minutes. Many local buses can also be found outside the airport terminal and will take you to various destinations in Hong Kong.

A captivating city steeped in colonial history and traditional Chinese culture, Hong Kong is home to a world renowned skyline, incredible shopping malls, and stunning beaches.

Begin your trip by marvelling at the breathtaking panoramic views of the cityscape from Victoria Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island. To get there, take a ride on the historic Peak Tram to pass through the bustling districts of Admiralty, Central, and Mid-Levels, while catching a unique glimpse into the city's vibrant energy and charm.

Hong Kong also boasts gorgeous natural beauty and is known for its many hiking trails. Among the most famous is Dragon's Back, which is located on the southern half of Hong Kong Island and commands panoramic vistas of rolling emerald hills and the breathtaking coastline. Alternatively, you can hike up Lion Rock, a granite-topped mountain in north Kowloon that towers 495 metres above sea level and offers sublime views of the cityscape from its peak.

For a fun-filled family experience, spend the day at either Ocean Park or Hong Kong Disneyland and enjoy the thrilling rides available. We recommend soaking up the sun at one of the city's beautiful beaches, such as Repulse Bay, Shek O, or Deep Water Bay.

For an adventurous day trip within the vicinity of Hong Kong, pay a visit to the ancient walled villages in the New Territories. Constructed several centuries ago to fend off pirates, these villages feature tall walls, watchtowers, and even cannons, serving as a fascinating historical testament to the city's storied past. The Ping Shan Heritage Trail in Yuen Long and the Lung Yeuk Tau Heritage Trail in Fanling are home to the best-preserved villages. The former features a spectacular ancestral hall and a gallery housed in an old police station, while the latter meanders through five villages, showcasing sumptuous halls and temples.

Food lovers will appreciate the contrasts of Hong Kong’s dining scene. Enjoy authentic xiaolongbao dumplings at Din Tai Fung, which has built its reputation as one of the culinary hotspots in the city. Beyond its dumplings, indulge in a plate of string beans topped with minced pork, nutty dan dan noodles, and dessert buns stuffed with a variety of fillings, such as red bean and purple taro. For a more street food style experience, head to Hop Yik Tai in Sham Shui Po to sample a plate of the ‘cheung fun’ - unfilled rice paper rolls doused in hoisin, peanut and soy sauces, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and eaten with skewers used as ad hoc chopsticks. We also recommend visiting one of Hong Kong’s many traditional ‘cha chaan tengs’ (tea restaurants) that serve authentic local delicacies such as wonton noodle soup and sweet and sour pork.
