Located on Lantau Island near Discovery Bay, Hong Kong Disneyland® consists of several themed areas and attracts millions of visitors each year. It’s smaller in comparison to the other Disney parks, but families with young children can spend a very enjoyable day here.

Victoria Harbour is one of the world’s great harbors, providing a breathtaking setting between incredible skylines of the Kowloon Peninsula and Hong Kong Island. This waterway is one of the world’s great seaports and offers a shoreline filled with cultural, shopping, dining and recreational attractions.

The unveiling of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre expansion was a much-anticipated highlight of the 1997 Handover, with global rulers and celebrities attending grandiose parties within the monstrous structure. In 1898, China agreed to a 99-year lease by the Brits of Hong Kong Island, surrounding islands and the New Territories of southern China. On July 1, 1997, the lease ended, the British governor and British Royal Navy left their posts and Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of China in a giant celebration, with the Convention Centre at its heart.

Ocean Park is Hong Kong’s biggest theme park. The park has exhibitions of rare animal species and a dolphin breeding centre alongside more than 20 different rides and rollercoasters.

The Central district is Hong Kong’s economic and financial powerhouse and home to countless government departments, legal offices and big-name multinationals. Celebrities, tourists and office workers all come together at the weekend to join Hong Kong’s biggest party in Lan Kwai Fong.

Head here for more laid-back bars, clubs and restaurants than the ones in the nearby party town of Lan Kwai Fong.

There are over 300 islands that make up Hong Kong, and many of these offer pristine beaches where you can spend some time in the sun. Golden Beach is one of the most famous; the largest beach in Tuen Mun in Hong Kong’s New Territories region, a 545-metre strip covering an area of over 75 hectares. Walk along its fine sand which was imported from China’s Hainan Island, and enjoy the views across the water and towards Lantau Island.
