Introducing Hong Kong
A city that is a tantalising mix of colonial influences, futuristic modernity, and distinct Chinese traditions, Hong Kong is not only the ultimate east-meets-west destination but one of the world’s greatest city breaks!
Consisting of a peninsula and 263 islands, there is so much more to Hong Kong than the collection of concrete and steel of its well-known façade. In fact, it is the perfect balance of urban wonderland and natural playground, with everything from mountains and beaches to incense-filled temples to sparkling shopping malls ready and waiting to be explored. This is a place where you can go from gazing at the shimmering cityscape of Hong Kong Island, to riding a vintage tram through the streets to eat delicious dim sum in a traditional teahouse before hopping in a cable car to fly over the water to visit a huge Buddha and a traditional fishing village before the sun sets!
From Victoria Peak to the bustle of Kowloon, from the iconic Star Ferry to Michelin-starred restaurants, from world-class museums to quiet corners brimming with age old traditions… there’s nowhere quite like Hong Kong.
