World-Class Shopping and Dining Experiences
The stunning skyline of Hong Kong, with its skyscrapers and beautiful architecture, is a captivating sight. When you arrive, it's easy to feel a bit overwhelmed by the tall buildings and not know which way to go, but after a day you'll settle into the rhythm.
If you love shopping and delicious food, Hong Kong is the city for you. Langham Place is a 15-floor mall where you can tire yourself out exploring a variety of stores. Afterward, head to Mong Kok to Ladies Market on Tung Choi Street, where you can bargain for souvenirs and clothing. If you're looking for genuine designer bags like Chanel, Prada, and Hermés, Milan Station is a recommended store. On Sai Yeong Choi Street, you'll find electronics, branded goods, and cosmetics.
All that shopping can make you hungry, and a food break is always a good idea. The most popular dish in Hong Kong is dim sum, small dishes in bamboo baskets typically enjoyed with a cup of tea. One of the world's most affordable Michelin-starred restaurants is Tim Wan Ho, where dim sum costs around £2 per dish and is well worth a visit. Besides dim sum, hotpot is a popular dish—it's a Chinese stew with various ingredients that you cook at your table. For dining with a world-class view, head up to Sugar, a rooftop terrace with a restaurant, bar, and lounge serving grilled dishes and tapas. This hidden gem offers a fantastic view of the harbor and mountains. If you're into trendy neighborhoods, Soho is an obvious choice with lots of fashionable restaurants and bars.
Magnificent Sights
A must-visit in Hong Kong is Victoria Peak, the city's highest point, where the view from The Peak is absolutely breathtaking, offering a panorama of all the skyscrapers and the entirety of Hong Kong. The view is most magical at night when the city's lights are twinkling. Another landmark is the world's second-largest metal sculpture, Big Buddha, situated in a stunning coastal landscape on Lantau Island. You can take a cable car to reach this destination. Avenue of the Stars is Hong Kong's best promenade, with a beautiful panoramic view and a walk through the world of film, including a statue of Bruce Lee. For families, a visit to Disneyland or Ocean Park is a great way to maximize the fun. If you want to explore the sea, you can hop on a "junk boat," a traditional Chinese sailing vessel offering charming tours around Hong Kong.
Hotels on the Ground or Among the Clouds
Staying at a hotel in Hong Kong is an experience in itself, with options ranging from luxury hotels like The Upper House, Peninsula, and Four Seasons to budget-friendly hotels. If you're not afraid of heights, you can choose to stay in a high-rise with views over the entire city, as many hotels have over 100 floors. You can stay in the bustling city center or a bit farther out, depending on your preference.
