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.

Latest reviews from our guests

Victor is a superb guide, friendly knowledgeable and with an excellent command of the English language. He tailored our tour to suit our interests and energy levels and went out of his way to ensure we had a brilliant day. As our first trip to Hong Kong, it was an ideal way to gain our bearings and have an insight into the transport system, food and culture. Victor’s knowledge of his country’s history, together with his local knowledge made this a fascinating day. Thank you Victor!

This is definitely the tour worth traveling. Victor was a great host and tour guide. He was very knowledgeable with every area we visited in regard to the history and statistics of Hong Kong’s history and living populace. We appreciate he was able accommodate to our schedule after we arrived late due to our plane. He was able to create an itinerary that suited my roommate and myself that showcased lots of local foods, views, and great pubs that most tourists wouldn’t get the chance to see. He also provided recommendations where to visit for our following day. I would highly recommend Victor again and again!!

Victor met me at the Disneyland Hotel, which meant a lot as I traveled solo. One thing I did not expect is the extensive survey you get to match you with a guide. We went to The Peak and even visited Monopoly Dreams (I am big into board games). Taking a few different trains was great, as I am also a train buff. He also found places to eat since I am Vegan. Lastly, he made suggestions for the rest of my stay, and he did not feel like a guide but a friend.
