Holidays in Hong Kong offer world-class cuisine, lively nightlife, and some of the world’s best shopping.
Hong Kong comprises a fascinating and vibrant medley of cultures, from the remnants of British colonial rule evident in the city’s place names, to the more relaxed pace of outlying islands Lamma and Lantua. In the southern part of the island you’ll find a huge amusement park, some good beaches, and even some hiking areas.
Across from Hong Kong’s harbour sits Kowloon, a densely-populated and fast-developing area packed with bars, hotels and shops. There’s a multitude of fun transport modes to get you across to the island, as well as around the city. Try everything from funiculars and cable cars to buses and a reliable Mass Transit System, and even walking pavements and escalators, all of which make getting around the city a breeze.
In the evening, take a sunset cruise to gaze at the city skyline, which is dominated by both mountain peaks and tall skyscrapers, such as the International Commerce Centre, the HSBC Building, and the bamboo-like Bank of China Tower.
Hong Kong holidays: A shopper’s paradise
Hong Kong holidays have long been something of a pilgrimage for shoppers, even if the island’s reputation for bargains is largely consigned to the past. Many shoppers come here to buy clothing, luggage, jewellery, cameras and electronic goods. Some of the best street markets and shopping streets include Cat Street for antiques, and Chun Yeung Street for food and fish. Head to bustling Des Voeux Road West for exotic Asian health tonics and dried seafood.
Hong Kong is also the perfect stopover destination to combine with a number of Asian destinations, from Macau to Thailand and beyond. Speak to one of our Destination Specialists today and we’ll help you plan the ideal Hong Kong twin centre holiday.
