Hong Kong Day Tripping

Guide to Short Stopover in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a buzzing city with very busy people. It is a dynamic place where visitors who are passing through are guaranteed a schedule to rival even those of the most successful tycoons.

The streets of Hong Kong are a study in character and heritage. For one thing, the trams that traverse the modern city streets at the foot of gigantic skyscrapers not only take you across the city from Kennedy Town in the west to Shau Kei Wan in the east, but also across the different lifestyles and social conditions of Hong Kong.

And a visit to the Western district will have you wondering if you had entered a portal back through time into another era. Shops and temples of yesteryear will leave you marvelling at the Chinese way of life of bygone times.

Hong Kong Beaches and Parks

Sand and sea are just the things you need to spend a full, relaxing day. Deep Water Bay, Repulse Bay, and Shek O are just some of the lovely beaches that dot the coast of Hong Kong. For a quieter and more secluded atmosphere, make your way over to one of the outlying islands, such as Cheung Chau, where unique rock formations and wonderfully fresh seafood await you at the seaside restaurants over the water.

For such a developed city, Hong Kong has a surprising number of country parks teeming with wildlife. You can go birdwatching at the Mai Po marshes: a very well-known spot where the splendour of resident and migratory birds will hold you enthralled. Pink dolphins await you, too, in the waters off Lantau island. Read more...

Look no further for cafés or lounges with live jazz, clubs with the latest in dance music, hotels with tinkling pianos, or karaoke boxes where you can sing your heart out before heading for one of the open-air bars for a nightcap. Read more...
