Travel tips
Hong Kong International Airport (HKG) is a world class airport offering a variety of convenient facilities and amenities to passengers. Stop by one of the many restaurants to refuel or do some light shopping at the boutique shops before continuing your journey into the city. You will also find ATMs, complimentary shower facilities, and baggage storage services should you need them. If you or your travel companions require any special assistance, simply let a staff member know, and they will be happy to help.
Situated 36km from Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong International Airport has many transport options to get you into the city. The most convenient option is a taxi, with a journey taking around 30 minutes. Alternatively, the Airport Express train link can bring you to the centrally located Hong Kong Station in 25 minutes. There are also several local buses situated just outside the airport terminal that run to all major destinations in the city.
With Hong Kong’s fascinating colonial history, world class museums, diverse food scene and dazzling skyline, it is no wonder the city has earned the nickname ‘Pearl of the Orient’.
Travellers can take in the full breadth of Hong Kong’s iconic skyline at Victoria Peak, the island’s highest point. From here, you’ll be able to see the harbour’s beautiful vistas, illuminated at night during the daily Symphony of Lights show. To reach Victoria Peak, take the Peak Tram, which navigates a scenic route through Hong Kong’s rolling emerald hills until you reach the top.
If you are interested in learning more about the city’s history and culture, be sure to explore museums such as the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Museum of History, and the M+ Museum.
Hong Kong has gained a reputation over the years as a shopper’s paradise. It is easy to see why when touring some of the many luxury malls across the city including Harbour City in Tsim Sha Tsui, Pacific Place in Admiralty, and IFC in Central. There is also a range of other more niche shopping arcades dotted around the city specialising in collectables like vintage cameras and old money.
If you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle, there is nowhere better than one of Hong Kong’s sleepy outlying islands. Peng Chau and Cheung Chau are two great options, both hosting restaurants serving fresh seafood, little towns perfect for exploring and shopping in, and beaches to relax on. If you visit Cheung Chau, do not miss the opportunity to try a freshly made mango mochi or frozen watermelon - both the perfect remedy for a hot summer’s day.
Before your flight to Hong Kong 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.

Foodies will be indulged with all that is on offer in Hong Kong. From unique local cuisine to a practically endless range of international cuisine, it can be hard to know where to start. For some of the most authentic and tasty local Hong Kong dishes, we recommend heading to one of the ‘cha chaan tengs’ (local tea restaurants) in the Sheung Wan district. These traditional cafes are often family-run businesses stemming back decades and serving dishes such as wonton noodle soup, Hong Kong-style French toast, and Hong Kong-style macaroni soup.
If you want a more luxurious dining experience, head to districts such as Central and Causeway Bay, where you will find countless restaurants serving international fare.
