A brief introduction to Hong Kong
Known as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’, Hong Kong is a city that boasts towering skyscrapers, vibrant country parks, and a diverse restaurant scene renowned across the world.
Start your trip with a ride on the historic Peak Tram to the top of Victoria peak - the highest point on Hong Kong Island. Here, you will find impressive views of Hong Kong’s endless skyscrapers, as well as the city’s glittering harbour and lush emerald hills.
To experience more of Hong Kong’s natural beauty up close, be sure to hike Dragon’s Back – a popular route that offers picture-perfect views of rolling mountains and coastline. We also recommend visiting Lantau Island, where you can explore significant Buddhist landmarks such as Tian Tan Buddha and the Po Lin Monastery.
Food lovers will appreciate the contrasts of Hong Kong’s dining scene. Eat like a local in a tucked-away Hong Kong-style tea restaurant, or dine atop a skyscraper from one of the city’s many luxury restaurants.
For families, we also recommend visiting Ocean Park - a theme park with rollercoasters and water rides, as well as opportunities for close encounters with animals from around the world, such as penguins and pandas.

Refuel at one of many restaurants and peruse the boutique shops before continuing your journey into the heart of the city. You’ll also find ATMs, complimentary shower facilities, baggage storage services, and more. Special assistance is also available for any passenger that might require it.
Arrivals at Hong Kong International Airport are greeted with several efficient transport options. A taxi is the most convenient, with the journey taking approximately 30-50 minutes. Alternatively, the Airport Express offers a direct link to the centrally-located Hong Kong Station in 25 minutes. There are also numerous bus routes outside the terminal servicing all major districts in the city.
Otherwise known as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’, Hong Kong is a unique blend of East and West with its eclectic culture, world famous skyline, and fascinating sights around each corner.
To start your journey, we recommend visiting Victoria Peak to marvel at the breathtaking views of the city. The Peak Tram, conveniently accessible from Admiralty's Garden Road, takes you on a scenic ride through lush mountainsides all the way to the summit. While here, you can stroll along the circular walking path, shop and dine at the Peak Galleria, or enjoy the Victoria Peak Garden.
Those that love shopping will feel right at home in Hong Kong. Luxurious malls can be found right across the city, with some of the most popular being IFC in Central, Pacific Place in Admiralty, and Times Square in Causeway Bay. Harbour City and K11 MUSEA are two more great malls located near the harbourfront in Tsim Sha Tsui that offer spectacular views.
Visitors seeking a day filled with culture and heritage can immerse themselves in Hong Kong's rich history. Pay a visit to the historic Tai O Fishing Village on Lantau Island, where you can witness traditional stilt houses and experience the local fishing culture. Two other fantastic destinations are Man Mo Temple in Sheung Wan, a historic Taoist temple known for its large hanging incense coils and serene atmosphere, and the Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) on Lantau. Alternatively, Hong Kong’s many museums and galleries offer a deep insight into the culture, history, and global significance of the city. We recommend wandering around the Hong Kong Museum of Art, Hong Kong History Museum, and M+.
Hong Kong also boasts a variety of enjoyable outdoor excursions. Dragon’s Back Ridge is easily accessed and offers a leisurely hike with beautiful views of the city, while more challenging routes such as Castle Peak and Sunset Peak offer a highly rewarding and beautiful experience. For families, we recommend heading to either Hong Kong Disneyland or Ocean Park for a day filled with fun on exhilarating rides.

Foodies are sure to love what is on offer in Hong Kong - whether it be high-end cuisine offered atop luxe skyscrapers in Central or authentic dining experiences in local dai pai dongs (street-side eateries). To get a taste of the local cuisine, be sure to try dishes like beef satay noodles, macaroni soup, and Hong Kong-style French toast. You also should not miss the opportunity to dine in a local dim sum restaurant where they serve radish cake, har gow (shrimp dumplings), and lots more.
Owing to Hong Kong’s multicultural population, international food is as diverse as it is delicious. While there is nearly an infinite list of top-tier restaurants, we recommend heading to the districts of Central, Causeway Bay, and Tsim Sha Tsui for some of the best. At night, head to Lan Kwai Fong for cocktails and drinks while experiencing local nightlife at its best.
