Think you know everything there is to know about Hong Kong and what to do there? Here's some inspiration on how to make sure you have a unique holiday there
Hong Kong Waterfront The breezy Central Waterfront Promenade offers splendid views of the vibrant Victoria Harbour and the celebrated Hong Kong skyline. A cruise around the harbour aboard the Aqua Luna, topped with the Symphony of Lights, a unique light and sound show, is a great way to spend an evening.
The deck offers a 270 degree breathtaking panoramic view and is one of the best venues to catch a glimpse of a spectacular sunset in Hong Kong.
The Nunnery is a Buddhist temple of elegant wooden architecture, treasured relics and tranquil lotus ponds. Nan Lian Garden is a meticulously landscaped Japanese Garden in which every element is placed adhering to Feng Shui.
Tranquil Nan Lian Garden Temple Street Night Market The area surrounding the Tin Hua Temple comes to life after sunset. Vendors sell everything from electronics and clothes to jade jewellery and traditional Chinese crockery. You can even get your fortune told or hear traditional Cantonese opera sung outside the Temple.
Lantau Island Ride the glass bottom crystal cabin cable car to Ngong Ping for a bird’s eye view of the picturesque landscape. Explore the charming Ngong Ping Village with its souvenir shops and cafes.
