Trip Overview :
Known as “the City of Life” as it never seems to sleep, Hong Kong is a vibrant and exciting city made up of the Mainland and Hong Kong Island with the famous Star Ferry linking the two.
It boasts an expansive skyline and a deep natural harbour. One can enjoy so much here including fantastic shopping either in the stores or at the street markets which abound, cruising around the harbour and also enjoying the Symphony of Lights, a spectacular evening light show beamed across the harbour and reflected onto the buildings.
Stanley Market on the far side of Hong Kong Island is a maze of alleyways with a multitude of stalls selling everything under the sun with excellent bargains in clothing, watches, electronics and much more. Aberdeen, also on the Island is a floating collection of restaurants all reached by boat and a fun place to have a meal.
Victoria Peak, night or day, offers spectacular, panoramic views of the harbour and of the mainland. The breathtaking beauty of Hong Kong can never be forgotten from this vantage point.
Independent exploration and touring in Hong Kong are endless in their possibilities. Perhaps take the ferry to Macau for the day or the island of Lantau with its serene beauty or simply stroll around the neighbourhoods of Kowloon or Wanchai. Also, consider the museums or take in a concert one evening.
