Reasons to visit Hong Kong

Explore the mountains

Hong Kong is an exciting metropolis, but it has a wild side too. Lush forests provide a scenic escape and are home to animals such as leopard cats and Chinese pangolins. Climb aboard a cable car and rise above the skyline into the reaches of upper Hong Kong island for the very best views of skyscrapers and forests alike.

Head to Victoria Peak, the island’s highest point, for jaw-dropping panoramas of the sprawling metropolis and surrounding sea.

You can also take your adventure to the next level by exploring Hong Kong’s best hiking trails. The Plover Cove Country Park hike leads to the traditional village of Lai Chi Wo, the ancestral home of the Hakka people.

Dine beneath the neon

Hong Kong comes into its own at night. Colourful signs light up and locals take to the streets to enjoy good food together.

At Temple Street Night Market, you’ll find steaming dim sum and curried fish. Afterwards, walk off your feast in the maze of stalls selling everything from bejewelled trinkets to antiques.

Don’t miss the chance to try some of Hong Kong’s multicultural cuisine. Creamy egg tarts (pastéis de nata) came to Hong Kong from Portugal, while Spam and fried noodles trace their roots back to British cupboard staples.

Get spiritual

Hong Kong is an eclectic mix of cultures and religions, centred around a Buddhist core. The towering Tian Tan Buddha looms large, above a long stairway snaking up through the hills.

Symbolising the relationship between man and nature, this giant statue is located near the historic Po Lin Monastery, surrounded by the tranquil forests of Lantau Island.

You can also walk around the peaceful monastery grounds where you’ll find fragrant incense and groups of devoted worshippers. Take in the architecture or explore the three levels beneath the statue itself, where the cremated remains of Guatama Buddha are said to be held.
