Hong Kong Things To Do

Victoria Peak
This is an absolute must on any Hong Kong city break and offers the most iconic and unforgettable views of the Hong Kong skyline. Best experienced at night when the city explodes into vivid neon colour, the contrast of 21st century skyscrapers and traditional sampan boats in the harbour below provides the most memorable photo opportunities. Getting up to the Peak is as much of an experience as the views from the top, with a winding, leisurely ride in the funicular Peak tram.

Disneyland Hong Kong
Situated on adjacent Lantau Island, just 10 minutes from the airport is the chance to experience the fantasy world of Disney - Hong Kong style. It offers an exotic blend of all the usual pomp, colour and thrilling rides that Disney is famous for along with a touch of oriental charm and character. There are entertainment and attractions for visitors of all ages and kids will simply love the noisy parades and evening fireworks extravaganza. Best of all, it is much smaller than the other Disney theme parks and so a more productive day's enjoyment can be had.

A Day At The Races
By far the most popular sporting event in Hong Kong, a visit to the Happy Valley racecourse shows the frantic enthusiasm of locals who absolutely love to bet. Watching this offers as much excitement for visitors as the races themselves. A race day is full of pomp, noise and entertainment and is the perfect way to see Hong Kong residents at play.

Hong Kong Islands
Find relief from the frantic pace of Hong Kong life with a day visiting one of the serene offshore islands in the South China Sea. A short ferry ride will bring you to deserted coves and beaches or quiet fishing villages where you will discover hidden Buddhist temples and historic monasteries. The Islands of Lamma and Lantau offer rich traditional life far from the chaos of downtown Kowloon and is a perfect way to experience an often unheralded yet spectacular natural environment. 

Street Markets
Every visitor who comes to Hong Kong will be tempted by the bright lights and sheer variety of goods on offer at the dozens of gleaming shopping malls. However the bustling street markets of Hong Kong provide bargains galore and a real vibrant oriental experience. Visit chaotic Temple Street night market or Tong Choi Street which offer a spectacle of colour and feverish activity. This is the best place for tempting Chinese street snacks and pavement cafes and everything from livestock, electronics, gifts and fashions can be bargained for.

Hong Kong Museums
Get your fix of local history and culture with a visit to one of Hong Kong's inspiring museums and cultural centres. Discover the art of traditional silk weaving and painting or learn about the centuries old history of Chinese herbal remedies. There is a myriad of city museums that highlight everything from art, maritime history, science and even space exploration that should intrigue all who visit.
