Book a trip from Toronto to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific , fares from CAD1,996

A variety of transportation options are available at the airport that can take you to your final destination. We recommend taking a taxi as it is the most convenient way to get to the city centre, taking approximately 30 to 50 minutes to reach Kowloon or Hong Kong Island. You can also board the Airport Express, which will get you to the centrally-located Hong Kong Station in less than 30 minutes. There are also numerous local buses and rental car services available just outside the arrivals hall that will transport you to various locations in Hong Kong.

A unique blend of east and west, Hong Kong offers travellers unforgettable experiences through its iconic skyline, mesmerising emerald mountains, and rich history and culture.

To marvel at Hong Kong’s enchanting cityscape, we recommend a trip to Victoria Peak - the highest point on Hong Kong Island. To get there, take a ride on the historic Peak Tram, which can be accessed in Central district. Upon reaching the top, marvel at the panoramic view, hike the surrounding areas, or enjoy a meal at one of the many restaurants located in The Peak Galleria. If you wish to see Hong Kong’s towering skyscrapers from a different angle, be sure to visit the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade.

For those who want to immerse themselves in Hong Kong’s intriguing history and culture, we recommend visiting the Hong Kong Science Museum, Hong Kong History Museum, and Hong Kong Museum of Art . All of them offer a wide range of exhibitions and provide a fascinating insight into the city’s heritage.

Outdoor enthusiasts will have plenty of opportunities to explore Hong Kong’s stunning landscapes through a myriad of hikes. One of the most popular trails is Dragon's Back, winding through Hong Kong Island with breathtaking views of lush green mountains and the glimmering coastline. Another must-visit destination for nature lovers is Lantau Island, home to the awe-inspiring Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery.

Those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city should spend a day exploring Cheung Chau, a charming island adorned with traditional sea deity temples. Brimming with cozy, family-run restaurants and beautiful beaches, the island is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike on weekends. If you happen to be in Hong Kong from late April to May, be sure to attend the annual Cheung Chau Bun Festival, which is an enthralling event featuring climbers scrambling up three enormous towers adorned with buns that are believed to bring good luck. The exhilarating race is accentuated by a vibrant parade of floats and a series of Taoist rituals.

Hong Kong's dining scene is a food lover's paradise, with a diverse array of options to suit all tastes. If you're in the mood for hearty Italian cuisine, head to Pici, where the menu is designed for family-style sharing and features mouth-watering dishes such as pappardelle with an eight-hour beef cheek ragu, cacio e pepe pasta, and creamy tiramisu. If you are seeking a more upscale dining experience, PLUME wine bar in Central is an excellent choice as it boasts a list of 500 wines that pair perfectly with their French staples, such as croque monsieur with a fancy truffled twist and decadent platters of oysters and caviar tarts. Be sure to also visit one of the city’s local 'cha chaan tengs' (tea restaurant), where you can indulge in local favourites such as Hong Kong style French toast and ‘siu mai’ (steamed dumplings).
