DAY TWO Be Immersed in Arts and Culture

Hong Kong Palace Museum

Explore the grace and elegance of Chinese heritage at Hong Kong Palace Museum, which presents over 900 priceless treasures from the Palace Museum in Beijing (which is housed within the Forbidden City), as well as ancient and modern artworks from Hong Kong.

One of the world’s largest museums of modern and contemporary visual arts, M+ officially opened in late 2021 and features 33 galleries dedicated to imagery, design, architecture and more, plus three cinemas, a learning hub and roof garden.

Temple Street Night Market

Nestled in the heart of Tsim Sha Tsui, Temple Street Night Market is a vibrant parade of street food, souvenir stalls and other traditional attractions, such as fortune tellers and Cantonese opera, which draw Hong Kong residents and visitors alike. Rub shoulders with locals and soak up the lively atmosphere as you savour freshly cooked delicacies from sizzling stalls, then practice your bargaining skills as you shop for goods ranging from clothing and jewellery to handicrafts and antiques.

LADIES’ MARKET

In the bustling streets of Mongkok, Ladies’ Market is a bright and colourful kilometre-long stretch of stalls that sells a wide range of goods, including clothes, shoes, accessories, bags, souvenirs and much more. Despite the market’s name, men are also permitted!

Yat Tung Heen

Lovers of fine gastronomy can end their day in style at Yat Tung Heen, one of Hong Kong’s most celebrated restaurants. Discover an array of authentic Cantonese delicacies and realise why it has been awarded a Michelin star for six consecutive years.
