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, check out insta-worthy street art and chique galleries in Central and Sheung Wan. 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.
