From colonial quarters to commanding harbour-front hotels, Hong Kong has countless places to stay. It just depends on what you’re after. Lovers of luxury will enjoy Central or Causeway Bay, expat havens of happening bars, restaurants and clubs. The bustling streets and neon lights of Mong Kok will appeal to budget-conscious travellers who want to get close the ‘real’ Hong Kong. For a peak into the China of days gone by, try Yau Ma Tei with its medicinal teashops, street food stalls and antique markets. Or if you want to experience beautiful beaches, rugged scenery and mountainous hikes, head to the Outlying Islands and discover the laidback vibe at Lamma Island.
Hidden between the skyscrapers and along narrow streets, you’ll find bustling restaurants and bars, a thriving arts scene, unique shopping and secret outdoor spaces. Catch the Star Ferry across the harbour and take the tram up to Victoria Peak for panoramic views.
Love a bit of retail therapy? From the opulent fashion at the IFC Mall to the popular Ladies' Market on Tung Choi Street, Stanley Market, and the ever-popular Temple Street Night Market, it’s a shopper’s dream come true. When night falls, don’t miss the spectacular Symphony of Lights Show, which illuminates the cityscape by the harbour. Then visit Lan Kwai Fong Street for its nightclubs, live music and tempting food stalls.
For a glimpse of the city’s contemporary art scene, head to Parkview Art Gallery on Old Bailey Street. Or you could spend lazy days on Lamma Island, get back to nature at the stunning Edward Youde Aviary or up the excitement at Hong Kong Disneyland.
