Hong Kong
Where East meets West in the most spectacular harbour in Asia. A city of extraordinary contrasts — ancient temples beside gleaming towers, dim sum beside Michelin-starred dining, sampans beside superyachts.
Asia’s most electrifying city — and its most surprising
Hong Kong operates at a frequency unlike anywhere else in the world. It is simultaneously one of the world’s great financial centres and a city of ancient fishing villages; a place where Rolls-Royces queue behind trams, where a Michelin-starred restaurant sits three floors above a market stall selling the same dish for a fraction of the price.
The harbour is the heart of everything. The Symphony of Lights — the world’s largest permanent light show — plays across the skyline every evening. The Star Ferry, running since 1888, offers the finest five-minute crossing in the world. And the Peak Tram ascends to a viewpoint that rivals any panorama on the planet.
Beyond the towers, Hong Kong reveals itself slowly: Lantau Island and the Giant Buddha, the ancient walled village of Kat Hing Wai, the fishing boats of Aberdeen, the night markets of Mong Kok. Our specialists know exactly which version of Hong Kong will suit you best.
Autumn (October–December) — Clear skies, low humidity, and perfect conditions for hiking the Dragon’s Back trail and exploring the islands.
Spring (March–April) — Warm and fresh, ideal for harbour cruises and open-air dining in Soho and Stanley.
Essential Hong Kong
All Hong Kong Tours →The world’s finest urban harbour view. Take the Star Ferry at dusk, then watch the Symphony of Lights transform the skyline at 8pm.
The Peak Tram ascends to 552 metres above sea level. The panorama — harbour, islands, towers — is the defining image of Hong Kong.
Yum cha — the ritual of tea and small dishes — is Hong Kong’s defining social act. We know the old-school establishments where it is done perfectly.
A 34-metre bronze Buddha on a mountain summit, reached by cable car over unspoilt forest. The monastery below serves some of the best vegetarian food in China.
Hong Kong’s most vibrant Taoist temple — fortune tellers, incense smoke and worshippers seeking guidance. A living piece of the city’s spiritual life.
Aberdeen’s floating restaurants and fishing junks offer a glimpse of the city’s maritime past. Lamma Island has the finest seafood restaurants in Hong Kong.
