Why you should visit Hong Kong
This vibrant city offers a unique blend of traditional heritage and contemporary cool. Hong Kong is an ideal destination for world-class shopping, unique cultural experiences, admiring the iconic skyline, delicious cuisine and more.
Arguably Hong Kong is one of the most revered dining capitals of the world and it’s home to the most restaurants per capita in Asia. Its rich gastronomic landscape can be found around every corner, from its hipster cafes and street food stalls to noodle joints and fine dining restaurants.
Whether you are looking for delicious street food or show-stopping restaurants with fabulous views, make sure you add every restaurant you want to visit to the ‘Eat & Drink’ section of your Hong Kong Pinboard.
Make sure you add a visit to one of Hong Kong’s most iconic attractions to your travel itinerary for Hong Kong. The spectacular Man Mo Temple on the iconic Hollywood Road is an excellent example of the age-old Qing dynasty architecture, plus it’s free to enter making it an unmissable thing to do whilst visiting Hong Kong.
Paying homage to Man Cheong, the god of literature and Mo Tai, the god of martial arts, the temple is not only incredibly beautiful, but very inspirational too. Its serenity makes for a true oasis from the bustling streets of Hong Kong.

TOP TRAVEL TIPS
Here are our top three travel tips when visiting Hong Kong:
Buy an Octopus card to use during your time in Hong Kong as it’s the easiest way of paying for any public transport in Hong Kong. As well as using it on the trams, trains and ferries, you can also use it at supermarkets, vending machines and even the cinema!
Make sure you carve out some time to watch the multimedia light and sound show at the Victoria Harbour. The stunning light display takes place every night at 8pm and transforms the Hong Kong skyline into a choreographed spectacle called ‘A Symphony of Lights’.
Hong Kong is a treasure trove of amazing bargains and the best places to find them are at the city’s many open-air street markets which includes the Temple Street Night Market which is full of amazing stalls and the Li Yuen Street East and West where you can pick up some brilliant vintage bargains.
