Hong Kong Essentials

Hong Kong’s identity is shaped by the contrast between its vertical skyline and traditional heritage. This selection covers the historic Peak Tram and the world-record Symphony of Lights show at Victoria Harbour. Beyond the urban core, Lantau Island offers the Po Lin Monastery and the traditional stilt houses of Tai O fishing village. Visitors can explore the 1.2-kilometer Tung Choi Street market, the multi-faith Wong Tai Sin temple, and the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, one of the world’s longest outdoor covered systems.
