Wondering what to do in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong, a sprawling metropolis with an iconic steel and glass skyline made up of more skyscrapers than are found in any other city on earth, is a sensory feast in the truest sense. Wandering is always rewarded with a smorgasbord of incredible things to do in Hong Kong hidden around every corner. The downtown area is an inner-city playground kitted out with everything that makes a modern metropolis worth visiting, but away from the crowded city center, Hong Kong takes on a different appeal. Each enchanting neighborhood and island beckons with its own delightful things to do, while leafy mountains, sparkling ocean, and beautiful birdlife are just outside the city limits.

More than a metropolis

Hong Kong isn’t all bright lights and sharp angles. What truly sets the city apart, in fact, is its natural beauty – the glittering Victoria Harbor, volcanic sea arches, and sprawling green spaces. Some of the best things to do in Hong Kong take place outside the city itself, in its leafy mountains and country parks. Hong Kong is also rich in culture – a combination of traditional Chinese roots, colonial influences, and Hong Kong’s own indigenous contributions. From traditional celebrations to the distinctive drumbeat of a dragon boat, glimpses of the city’s culture can be caught everywhere.

Hong Kong by night

Hong Kong is double as dazzling when the sun sets, and the list of things to do becomes longer. When you’re able to tear your eyes away from the mesmerizing city lights, explore the city’s nightlife districts, where buzzing venues range from dive bars to the swankiest clubs. If you’re not into the party scene, simply try some of the other things to do in Hong Kong at night. Atmospheric night markets are an excuse to sample the most famous of the city’s culinary offerings, from Hong Kong-style fish balls in satay sauce to dim sum prepared by a hawker who has perfected the art.

This was so much better than sitting in the airport lounge! Our guide, Malin, was very knowledgeable and personable. We saw as much of Hong Kong as possible in our short time, from the panoramic city views atop Mt. Victoria to vibrant markets, malls, historical sites, and the authentic streets of Hong Kong. We even enjoyed some great food to top it off! We truly experienced the city, using all modes of transportation: ferries, taxis, buses, trains – you name it, we took it. Thank you, Malin!

10/10 Recommend! We booked this tour without any idea what to do in Hong Kong, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions of our trip. Dennis created an itinerary (which admittedly we didn’t read ahead of time), but he still led us to incredible spots we never would’ve found on our own. We ended the day with the best meal of our trip! We can't wait to comeback and do a food tour with him!
