Travel tips
Travelers arriving at Hong Kong International Airport will have access to a wide variety of facilities and amenities. Refuel after your journey in one of the many restaurants and cafes, or indulge in some light shopping before heading into the city. ATMs, complimentary showers, and baggage storage services are also readily available. Should passengers require special assistance, a member of staff at the airport will be happy to help.
Located 36 km from the city center, Hong Kong International Airport is an award-winning airport with numerous transportation options that will deliver you to your final destination. We recommend taking a taxi since it offers the most convenient route to Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, taking approximately 30 to 50 minutes. You can also board the Airport Express, which will transport you to Hong Kong Station in around 25 minutes. Local buses and car rental services are also available and will get you to various districts in the city.
Boasting a stunning skyline, incredible natural beauty, and rich culture, Hong Kong truly lives up to its reputation as Asia's World City.
Begin your trip by basking in the panoramic views offered from Victoria Peak, the highest point on Hong Kong Island. To get there, we recommend taking the historic Peak Tram, which passes through the buzzing districts of Admiralty, Central, and Mid-Levels.
Hong Kong is also home to lush natural beauty and renowned hiking trails. One of the local favorites is Dragon's Back, perched on the southern half of Hong Kong Island and commanding breathtaking views of emerald green hillsides and the picturesque coastline. Alternatively, hike up Lion Rock, a granite-topped mountain located in north Kowloon that stands at 495 meters above sea level and provides sublime panoramas of the cityscape from its peak.
For a day of rest and relaxation, consider visiting one of the city’s beautiful parks. Nestled in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon Park is an old military site that has been transformed into a banyan-graced oasis. The original barracks now house the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre, while outside, visitors can enjoy lawns, dappled pathways, fountains, swimming pools, and children's play areas. Victoria Park in Causeway Bay is also a must-visit too since it is Hong Kong's largest park. Featuring a statue of Queen Victoria near the main entrance, it is a go-to destination for locals to exercise and socialize.
For a fun-filled family experience, we recommend visiting Ocean Park or Hong Kong Disneyland to enjoy the many vibrant attractions and thrilling rides available.
Hong Kong is well-known for its beach life, with secluded St. Stephen's Beach providing a stark contrast to the excitement of the city center. Shek O Beach is a popular getaway for the day as it is home to restaurants, a fishing village, and bars with beautiful views of the surrounding area. Repulse Bay is also popular with locals and tourists alike, while Middle Bay and South Bay beaches offer a more tranquil setting.
Before traveling with Cathay Pacific, book your stay at one of Hong Kong’s most renowned hotels to earn exciting rewards including room upgrades, lounge access, and extra miles. If you want to be in the thick of the city life, The Landmark Mandarin Oriental is right in the heart of Central district, meaning you are just a stone’s throw away from Hong Kong’s nightlife hub. Across Victoria Harbour, you will find the Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Tsim Sha Tsui, which is located in the heart of one of the most prominent districts and serves as a great starting point to explore the many hidden treasures Hong Kong has to offer.
Hong Kong’s dining scene is an incredible blend of authentic classics and international flavors. Meat lovers will appreciate the wide selection of dishes available at ALTO Bar & Grill in Causeway Bay. Indulge in their famous tomahawk wagyu steaks and Japanese pork chops, while also sampling specialty items like tamarind chicken lollipops and foie gras-topped beef wellingtons. Before you leave, be sure to visit the rooftop bar for a drink as it boasts some of the city's best views of Victoria Harbour. If you are in the mood for a more traditional culinary experience, Sun Kwai Heung is a must-visit eatery as it has garnered a top-notch reputation for its char siu, a quintessential Cantonese dish featuring barbecued pork. Alternatively, you can sample local delicacies at a 'cha chaan teng' (tea restaurant) in Kowloon or enjoy a flavor-packed meal at one of the many seafood restaurants on Lantau Island.
