Guide to Hong Kong
Hong Kong is an exciting destination where East meets West, with towering skyscrapers lining the same streets as traditional temples and bustling markets. Whether you're exploring the neon-lit streets of Mong Kok, taking in the sprawling skyline from Victoria Harbour, or living it up in the energetic nightlife of Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong has something for everyone.
History and culture are part of Hong Kong's traditional charm, with its many landmarks like Man Mo Temple and Wong Tai Sin Temple. A trip to Lantau Island is a must, allowing you to see the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery up close, while enjoying the spiritual tranquillity and stunning vistas not soon forgotten.
Beyond the urban cityscape, Hong Kong is a nature lover's dream. Take the Peak Tram up Victoria Peak for breathtaking views, hike along the Dragon Back's trail for more amazing sights, or stroll along the sandy shores of Repulse Bay. To escape the hustle and bustle of tourist hotspots, visit Tai O - a quaint fishing village with unique stilt houses.
