Hong Kong in a day… Click here to view all our FREE travel eBooks of Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau and Bangkok
This mini-guide is particularly recommended for those of you who have only one day in the city and want to make the most of it, as it covers some of Hong Kong's most popular attractions and sightseeing-spots. Option A 6-6:30am: Our day starts from Victoria Peak. "The Peak", as it is commonly known, is probably Hong Kong's most popular tourist attraction, boasting world-class views of the city and Victoria Harbour, which look as if they were taken from a postcard… When reaching "The Peak", you can opt for the Sky Terrace (although it is not open that early), which offers a breathtaking 360° panoramic views of the city and the waters around it, or simply enjoy your morning coffee and croissant on the terrace at Pacific Coffee. Daily, 24 hours a day, entrance is free (Sky Terrace is open daily, 10 am - 11 pm and there is an entrance fee). To get to Victoria Peak: You can either ride the 120 years old Peak Tram (a real "must do"), or take the bus (very scenic road), but the best option is to combine them both… (One way tram + one way bus).
