A unique blend of Eastern and Western cultures, Hong Kong is referred to as the ‘Pearl of the Orient’ and boasts an iconic skyline, lush nature reserves, and beautiful beaches.

Start your journey by marvelling at the city’s majestic skyline, which is best experienced when taking the Peak Tram up to Victoria Peak. Upon reaching the top of the highest point on Hong Kong Island, you can admire the city’s glittering harbour, towering skyscrapers, and verdant rolling hills. While here, we recommend enjoying a picturesque lunch at one of the many restaurants situated in and around The Peak Galleria.

Nature lovers will be pleasantly surprised to learn that Hong Kong is awash with mountains and country parks, meaning there is ample opportunity for hiking and other outdoor activities. Pay a visit to Shek O Country Park for incredible summit vistas as well as access to Big Wave Bay - one of Hong Kong Island’s most pristine beaches.

To indulge in the cultural side of Hong Kong, there are numerous museums and galleries in the city that are well worth a visit. The Hong Kong Science Museum, Hong Kong History Museum, and Hong Kong Museum of Art are among the most popular, with each offering a wealth of information and insights into the city’s rich cultural heritage.

Shopping enthusiasts will appreciate the many luxurious shopping malls dotted throughout the city, with some of the most popular being Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, IFC in Central, and Times Square in Causeway Bay.

No trip to Hong Kong is complete without a visit to Lantau Island, home to some of the city's most iconic landmarks, including the enormous Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. Afterwards, make your way to Tsim Sha Tsui, where you can bask in the glory of Hong Kong's cinematic legends at the Avenue of Stars.

The restaurant also offers a variety of mouth-watering dishes, such as string beans with minced pork, nutty dan dan noodles, and dessert buns filled with red bean and purple taro. For a more street food-style experience, head to Hop Yik Tai in Sham Shui Po, where you can sample the delicious 'cheung fun' - unfilled rice paper rolls covered in hoisin, peanut, and soy sauces, sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and eaten with skewers used as chopsticks.
