About Hong Kong
Neon skyline, harbour lights and a dim-sum paradise
Hong Kong is a vertical, electric city where one of the planet's most spectacular skylines glitters over Victoria Harbour, the Star Ferry chugs between Kowloon and the Island, and the Peak Tram climbs to sweeping views.
Beyond the neon lie green islands, the giant Tian Tan Buddha, ancient temples and frantic market streets — and everywhere, food: from Michelin-starred dim sum to wonton noodles and silky egg tarts.
Local Culture
Hong Kong fuses Cantonese tradition with a fast, cosmopolitan, East-meets-West rhythm. Feng shui shapes its towers, tea houses (cha chaan teng) and dim sum define daily life, and festivals, temples and a frantic work-hard play-hard spirit run beneath the neon.
