When you think of Hong Kong, it’s likely you’re picturing towering skyscrapers and densely populated citywalks. But that’s only part of the picture. Two thirds of the city area is dedicated to lush parks and forests, making it a dream destination for hikers and outdoor adventurists as well. There’s an alluring buzz to Hong Kong, it’s a collision of east and west to deliver a place and culture unto itself. While many visitors are drawn here to bow in reverence at the incredible bronze Tian Tan Buddha statue and delight their inner child at Hong Kong Disneyland, Hong Kong has so much more to offer. Hong Kong’s culinary scene is hotter than the surface of the sun, with microbreweries popping up all over and the world’s cheapest Michelin-star meal, night markets and boundary-pushing fine-dining feasts. For breath-taking views of the city (and to work off all that food you just ate), head to Victoria Peak, known locally as ‘The Peak’, or drop anchor at Victoria Harbour to watch the twinkling city lights. Then, when you're ready to eat again, be sure to head over to Cheung Chau for some mouth-watering seafood. Hong Kong really is unlike any other city on the planet.
