Things to Do  

Lantau Island

Lantau Island, Hong Kong

 266 Reviews  Since opening in 2006 the NP360 Cable Car gives visitors to Lantau Island a different and scenic way to arrive at the Big Buddha. The cable cars offer 360 degree views from the large all glass cabins. There is an option to purchase a slightly more expensive ticket in a Crystal Cabin. This adds an... 

Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak, Hong Kong

 364 Reviews  For most visitors to Hong Kong a trip to the top of Victoria Peak is high on the agenda and the most famous way to do this is to ride the tram from the Peak Tram Lower Terminus in Central. The famous furnicular Peak Tram has been in operation since 1888. Prior to that the only public transport...

Restaurants  

Jumbo Floating Restaurant

Jumbo Floating Restaurant, Hong Kong

 56 Reviews  The Jumbo kingdom floating restaurant is soOo unique! it's name came from where it is situated, obviously, floating in the aberdeen harbor. this restaurant is so popular among the locals and especially to the tourists. We went here to have lunch on my last day in HK but I think it's better if you go... 

Nightlife  

Lan Kwai Fong

Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong

 111 Reviews  Lan Kwai Fong in Central is reasonably sleepy during the day but from early evening the hilly narrow L shaped section of D'Aguilar and Lan Kwai Fong streets bursts into life. This is the fashionable place to be seen out and about in Hong Kong and a great spot for people watching. Most bars have... 

Transportation  

Mass Transit Railway MTR

Mass Transit Railway MTR, Hong Kong

 153 Reviews  At MTR stations, I think they try to prevent usage of baby push chairs or big luggage through ordinary gate. So, if you use any of those, keep your eyes on special gates which will lead you to lifts only. Of course, unless you fold the push chairs. 

Shopping  

Clothes

Clothes, Hong Kong

 59 Reviews  I saw a HUGE billboard for this store in Nathan Road and thought to myself "Ive gotta go here!" I asked a westerner one day and they told me it was in Canton Road and walking distance from Hop Inn, so I think it was about day 5 and I did a solo venture to find it! Basically H&M is relatively cheap... 

Local Customs  

Do/Do Not!

Do/Do Not!, Hong Kong

 28 Reviews  When buying stuffs in supermarkets, you must bring your own bag or you’ll be asked to purchase a plastic bag for the items you purchased. The plastic bag costs less than HK$1 and it’s not advisable to use a plastic bag. The supermarket staffs will look at you like you’ve done something very... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Safety

Safety, Hong Kong

 31 Reviews  While making a round tour at Hong Kong, Victoria, Aberdeen, our Guide stopped the bus and shows us a public bath place at south sea coast: "See, this is very shure bath place because it is with guarantee free of sharks- roundup is installed a strong net". So for a traveller it needs no more... 

Tourist Traps  

Nathan Road

Nathan Road, Hong Kong

 27 Reviews  The lower end of Nathan Road Kowloon used to be known as The Golden Mile. I can only assume that this was because the touts lined their pockets with tourist "gold". It is well documented (by VT members and travel bloggers) that this area of Hong Kong is where tourists are most likely to be parted... 

What to Pack  

Clothes

Clothes, Hong Kong

 24 Reviews  If you are planning on doing some hiking, then bring combat pants/trousers . Can buy toiletries And medical supplies in Mannings or Watsons should you need to stock up. You can buy camping or outdoor gear very cheaply in HK. Bring to TWO passport sized photos if you want a visa done for China or... 

Off The Beaten Path  

New Territories

New Territories, Hong Kong

 53 Reviews  If you've had enough of the hustle and bustle of the city, this is where you can go to get back to nature. At 958 meters, Tai Mo Shan is the highest mountain in Hong Kong. The surrounding area is a Country Park, which covers an area of 1,440 hectares. It is located in the New Territories north of... 

Favorites  

Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak, Hong Kong

 44 Reviews  It might happen that the Q for the Victoria Peak is really long. Depending on your plans and on your budget, pass the line on the left and proceed to the counter of Madame Tussaud. I noticed a board telling about a package. Which means you buy a ticket for Madame Tussaud and the Victoria Peak and...
