Hong Kong

A city of striking contrasts, Hong Kong is where tradition and modernity live side by side. Towering skyscrapers frame Victoria Harbour while jade-green hills rise in the background. Neon-lit streets bustle with energy, yet just a short ferry ride away lie serene islands and sandy beaches. With its rich blend of Chinese heritage and global influence, Hong Kong is a destination that feels both familiar and thrillingly new.

From Michelin-starred dining to steaming baskets of street-side dim sum, food is at the heart of the city’s identity. Markets brim with colour and character, while temples tucked among high-rises invite moments of quiet reflection. Ride the Peak Tram for panoramic views, sail the harbour on a traditional junk, or lose yourself in the art and design scene that continues to flourish across districts like Central and Wong Chuk Hang.

For those seeking something truly extraordinary, Hong Kong reveals experiences few ever access — such as an exclusive lantern-lit banquet inside a historic temple, or a private Symphony of Lights cruise with the skyline choreographed for your group alone. Beyond the city, a helicopter ascent to Victoria Peak or a morning of mindfulness on Lantau Island offers rare perspective on this dynamic place. Together, they capture the spirit of a city that never stops reinventing itself.
