Don’t miss this about Hong Kong
Hong Kong is one of Asia’s most exciting destinations, blending world-famous skylines with hidden temples, bustling markets and peaceful hiking trails. Whether you’re staying for a few days or a few weeks, a little preparation makes your trip smoother and more rewarding.
1. Visa and entry requirements
Nationals of around 170 places can visit Hong Kong visa-free for stays ranging from 7 to 180 days. If your passport is not exempt, or if you plan to stay longer, you’ll need a tourist visa. We guide visitors through the process and help with extensions if you decide to stay longer than planned.
2. Getting around the city
Hong Kong’s public transport is fast, clean and affordable. The MTR subway connects almost every corner of the city, and ferries link Hong Kong Island with Kowloon and the outlying islands. An Octopus card makes paying for transport simple.
Don’t forget to take in the skyline from Victoria Peak. Ride the Peak Tram and enjoy sweeping views of the harbour and skyscrapers — unforgettable both day and night.
3. Family-friendly attractions
Traveling with children? Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park are top picks, but families also enjoy day trips to Lantau Island, the Ngong Ping cable car and easy hiking routes like Dragon’s Back. Take a ferry to Cheung Chau and enjoy beaches, hiking and fresh seafood.
4. Food culture worth exploring
From traditional dim sum to Michelin-starred street food, dining in Hong Kong is part of the adventure. Hong Kong is a food lover’s paradise. Exploring local eateries in Central, Sham Shui Po or Kowloon’s night markets gives you a taste of the city’s diverse culture.
5. Balancing city and nature
Few cities offer such easy access to nature. Within minutes of downtown you can find beaches, country parks and scenic trails. For a quick escape, try Sai Kung for kayaking or Lamma Island for a family-friendly hike and seafood dinner. You could also escape the city for Dragon’s Back or Tai Mo Shan. Hong Kong’s green spaces are perfect for an easy day hike with views over the coastline.
