Hong Kong is a city of breathtaking density and drama. One of the world's most spectacular skylines crowds the harbour, yet green peaks, fishing villages and quiet islands lie minutes away. A unique fusion of Chinese tradition and global energy, it offers world-class food, shopping and views at every turn.

Top Things to Do in Hong Kong

Ride the historic Peak Tram up Victoria Peak for the definitive view over the harbour and skyscrapers. Cross the water on the classic green-and-white Star Ferry, and catch the nightly Symphony of Lights show across Victoria Harbour.

Feast on dim sum in a bustling tea house, browse the street markets of Mong Kok, and escape to Lantau Island for the giant Big Buddha and the Ngong Ping cable car.
