Upon your arrival in Hong Kong

A brief introduction to Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s fascinating colonial history, world class museums, diverse food scene and dazzling skyline has earned it the nickname the ‘Pearl of the Orient’.

Travellers can take in the full breadth of Hong Kong’s iconic skyline at Victoria Peak, the island’s highest point. From here, you’ll be able to see the harbour’s beautiful vistas, illuminated at night during the daily Symphony of Lights show. To reach Victoria Peak, take the Peak Tram, which navigates a scenic route through Hong Kong’s rolling emerald hills until you reach the top.

For a taste of the city’s nightlife, the chic bars in Central and Sheung Wan are the perfect place to grab a refreshing artisanal cocktail. Foodies will love Hong Kong’s unique cuisine, and can sample dim sum in Michelin star restaurants, or go out for afternoon tea in a local ‘chaan chaan teng’ (tea restaurant).

If you are interested in learning more about the city’s history and culture, be sure to explore museums such as the Hong Kong Museum of Art and the Hong Kong Museum of History.
