Hong Kong – a financial hub, a city of towering skyscrapers, bustling streets that light up the night sky. A city by the bay, iconic and somehow familiar. Some cities just have that spark! Hong Kong is one of those such cities. Stand on the Kowloon Bay’s edge and look out towards the city hub on the other side and you’ll soon understand why. The high rises blending in with the distant mountains. To your right, you’ll see the islands that dot the bay. It’s quite something.
Hong Kong is a forward-thinking cultural hub, commercial, yes, but dynamic with a cultural scene that needs exploring. From its attractions to the island and wildlife, we give you the top places to visit.

Victoria Harbour

The waves are lapping the sides of the boat, rocking it from side to side. You have a glass of wine in your hand and the symphony of lights show is about to begin. It’s a magical scenario, and one you should do.
