Hong Kong is a unique part of the world that boasts a wealth of historic, cultural, and culinary highlights.
Climb Victoria Peak for a spectacular view of Hong Kong and Kowloon Bay, and admire the contrast between modern skyscrapers and traditional junk boats below. While it is possible to tackle the peak on foot, most visitors choose to ride The Peak Tram, a charming funicular railway that has been in service since the late 1800s.
Another long-established highlight is the Star Ferry, which has been transporting tourists and locals between Hong Kong island and Kowloon mainland for more than 140 years. At less than 40p for a journey, this is surely one of the best experiences to try in Hong Kong when it comes to value for money.
Should you be docked in Hong Kong port for a full day, or even overnight, perhaps find time to take a local ferry to Lamma Island. This beautiful island has a completely different feel to it compared to the hustle and bustle of central Hong Kong. Browse local handicrafts in pretty boutiques, sip on a cup of coffee in a relaxed café, or enjoy the rural walking trails, discovering WWII Kamikaze Caves and coastal views as you go.
