Once a small fishing village, Hong Kong is now a sprawling metropolis with a vibrant fusion of Eastern and Western cultures.
Start your trip by heading to Victoria Peak for a stunning view of Hong Kong’s iconic skyline. The best way to get here is via the historic Peak Tram, which offers spectacular views of its own as you travel to the summit. At the top, you can head around the leisurely Peak Circle Walk for panoramic views across Hong Kong Island, the Kowloon Peninsula, and the South China Sea. There is also the Peak Galleria for those that fancy dining at one of many restaurants and some light shopping.
For those that want to dive into Hong Kong’s unique culture and way of life, we recommend heading to some of the city’s many museums and galleries. The Hong Kong History Museum, Hong Kong Museum of Art, and M+ are three great options for a better insight into Hong Kong’s rapid transformation, its artistic contributions, and much more.
If you have got things on your wish list, Hong Kong just so happens to be one of the best places to shop. Luxury shopping malls are dotted around the city and host all established international brands alongside up-and-coming local names.
