Travel Guide
To make the most of a holiday in Hong Kong, even for just a few days in the city, you should visit the skyscraper-packed Central with its bustling markets, chic shops and museums, take a trip by tram up Victoria’s Peak or enjoy a boat ride around the harbour. Holidays in Hong Kong should also include a visit to the peaceful Lantau Island. Often holidays in Hong Kong often occur as part of a longer journey, as it is a great stopover on trips to Australia and New Zealand. Therefore cheap holidays to Hong Kong can be picked up as part of a long-haul package.

Top Things To Do:

See the city
Hong Kong holidays will take in the sights of the Central area, home to the Times Square shopping centre, the Hong Kong racecourse and numerous towering skyscrapers. Take a look at the metropolitan skyline from one of Central’s buildings. The tallest of these is Hong Kong’s Two International Finance Centre (2IFC), 88 floors high with double-decker elevators. Also worth a look are the Jardine House with its 1,700 round windows and the ‘most expensive building ever built’, the Hong Kong Bank. Towering over Central is the 200ft Victoria’s Peak. Take the Peak Tramway up the mountain for amazing views of the city below.

There are many opportunities to hike, swim, sail and explore in these areas.
