Planning a summer vacay to Hong Kong? Or maybe you have a business trip to this cosmopolitan destination? Here’s a brief guide to help you prepare and plan your stay.
Getting Around
The easiest way to navigate Hong Kong is by way of MTR services since you get stations at or near most major destinations. Buses and trams can also be used, while ferry transport is popular for those travelling between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. Some hotels the likes of Dorsett Wanchai Hong Kong also offer convenient shuttle bus services to key sites.
For Business
Corporate travellers and those attending conferences or trade fairs should look to stay near the main business hubs. Two of the most popular venues are the International Finance Centre and Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre which can be easily accessed for those staying at a Wan Chai hotel.
For Sightseeing
When it comes to sightseeing in Hong Kong, travellers are spoilt for choice. The summit of Victoria Peak or “The Peak”, the Symphony of Lights beside Victoria Harbour and the Man Mo Temple are not to be missed. For a bit of horse racing action, there’s the Happy Valley Racecourse, while families will love Ocean Park, Repulse Bay Beach and Hong Kong Disneyland.
For Shopping
For some retail therapy, you can head to malls such as Times Square, Landmark Hong Kong and Pacific Place. Of course, you can also look to explore and bargain at local markets; Ladies’ Market, Temple Street Night Market and Stanley Market to name a few!
