Hong Kong airport is located approximately 35 km from the city centre and offers a variety of transport options that can take you to your final destination. We recommend taking a taxi as it will transport you to Kowloon or Hong Kong Island in 30 to 50 minutes. Alternatively, you can board the Airport Express and reach Hong Kong Station in less than 30 minutes. Numerous local buses and rental car services are also available just outside the arrivals hall and will take you to various districts in the city.

A unique blend of East and West, Hong Kong offers travellers a memorable experience filled with towering skyscrapers accented by beautiful green mountains.

Hong Kong’s picturesque views are best enjoyed from The Peak - the highest point on Hong Kong Island. To get there, we recommend taking the Peak Tram, which can be accessed in Central. Once you reach the top, you can marvel at the views, hike the surrounding areas or dine in the Peak Galleria. If you wish to see Hong Kong’s impressive skyline from another angle, be sure to visit the harbourfront in Tsim Sha Tsui.

To immerse yourself in the cultural side of Hong Kong, we recommend visiting Hong Kong’s numerous museums and galleries such as the Hong Kong Science Museum, Hong Kong History Museum, and Hong Kong Museum of Art.

Hong Kong is a haven for shopping lovers as the city is awash with luxury malls, including Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, IFC in Central, and Times Square in Causeway Bay. There are also plenty of ways for families to enjoy a day of excitement and adventure, including at Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park, both of which offer a variety of thrilling rides and exciting attractions for all ages.

For those who are more adventurous, spend the day exploring Cheung Chau, a charming fishing island dotted with traditional sea deity temples. Restaurants on the island are typically cozy and family-run, and the beaches are a hit with locals and tourists alike on the weekends. If you happen to be in Hong Kong from late April to May, be sure to attend the Cheung Chau Bun Festival, an enthralling event that involves climbers scrambling up 3 enormous towers adorned with buns that are believed to bring good luck. The thrilling race is accentuated by a vibrant parade of floats and a series of Taoist rituals, making it an unforgettable experience for all in attendance.

Hong Kong’s dining scene is rich in diversity, ranging from trendy restaurants in shimmering skyscrapers to local treats found in traditional ‘cha chaan tengs’ (Hong Kong style cafes). To indulge in a local favourite, look no further than the ‘char siu’ (barbecued pork) on offer at Sun Kwai Heung - a simple neighbourhood eatery creating a mouth-watering version of the Cantonese delicacy that is hard to resist. We also recommend sampling the city’s other specialities, such as Hong Kong style French toast, siu mai, and steamed dumplings. Be sure to wash your meal down with a cup of ‘nai cha’ (milk tea) - a unique blend of robust Ceylon tea with unsweetened evaporated milk.
