17 Top Tourist Attractions in Hong Kong

17 Top Tourist Attractions in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is an island that belongs to China, and it’s located east of the Pearl River Delta. 

It’s also on the coast of the South China Sea, and it has a special status as one of China’s Special Administrative Regions. 

Its status as an internationally renowned economic centre makes Hong Kong agglomeration a significant tourist attraction in itself.

These are the 15 best tours you can take in Hong Kong.

1. Victoria Harbour Night or Symphony of Lights Tour

Horizons is a not-for-profit organisation that provides therapy for people who have been diagnosed with cancer. 

We believed in their mission to help these patients and to boost their wellbeing from the very start, which is why we were one of the first companies outside of health insurance providers to give them funding. 

The money raised through Horizons goes towards providing support workers and counselling services – making it easier for cancer patients to take time off work while they begin treatment and recover.

2. Private Tour with a Local

When traveling to a new place it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of attractions and things to do that might be available. 

Let a local help you discover their own city. Your local guide will take care of your itinerary. They will tailor your discovery so that it meets your specific requirements for duration, areas that you want to visit and budget.

3. Great Buddha Walk with Skip-the-Line NP360 Cable Car

A day trip to the Ngong Ping Monastery on Lantau Island features panoramic views of the South China Sea and is not to be missed by travellers touring Hong Kong.

4. Hong Kong Big Bus Tour & Skip-the-Line Peak Tram

In the name of discovery and exploration, here’s how to take a look around Hong Kong like no one else. 

Whether you’re making your first steps into this world-renowned city or are only passing through it on a stopover, looking out of the window of a double decker bus can’t be beat for sightseeing expeditions.

5. Evening Cruise Tour in Chinese Junk Boat with Wine

There are basically two ways of experiencing an evening Hong Kong Harbour Cruise. 

There’s the more romantic evening cruise where you will head out on a Chinese Junk Boat, date back to ancient China, and behold the sunset in romantic bliss. 

On the other hand you have the evening night cruise, when the Hong Kong skyline views from your boat will be illuminated at night by colorful lights as they shine against the dark waters of Victoria Harbour.

6. Kowloon Market Walking Tour

For a taste of traditional Hong Kong, we recommend experiencing Kowloon. 

Our local tour guide leads you through the market and the Goldfish Market where you can buy aquarium supplies then on to Tin Hau Temple. 

You’ll taste samples of local treats while getting to know more about the area’s history. This tour comes complete with transportation tickets and an experienced local guide.

7. Macau World Heritage Excursion With Lunch at Macau Tower

It may be astonishing for some to hear that the Portuguese not only colonized Macau but also held dominion for over four centuries, during which the colony flourished into a multicultural commercial hub. 

While considerably smaller than Hong Kong with a more Latin flavor, its proximity to mainland China has allowed it to integrate several Chinese cuisines into their own…

8. TramOramic Ding Ding Tour and Unlimited Hong Kong Tram Pass

One of the best ways to see Hong Kong is to hop aboard one of its red-top open top trams, also known as “Ding Ding” in Cantonese. The tram system was originally introduced by the British after they colonized Hong Kong in 1842. 

The city already had a network of horse-drawn carriages and streetcars that the British eventually found inadequate, hence the horse-drawn streetcars were replaced with electric “Double Decker” trams back then. 

Starting from the 1920s, tram lines started to appear around most areas of Hong Kong and even today, visitors still enjoy hopping on these iconic modes of transportation for a ride through Victoria Peak or any other place within reach.

9. Kowloon: the Dark Side of Hong Kong Walking Tour

This in-depth walking tour of Hong Kong allows you to see the city in detail through the eyes of its residents. Your local guide, who lives and works here, will go beyond what the average guidebook or historical monuments can show you – he or she will take you to meet individuals and groups representing different sides of daily life in an Asian mega-city.

10. Premium Hong Kong Island Tour with Dinner Cruise Light Show

This full day tour is a wonderful way to make the most of your time in Hong Kong. To get to indulge in one of the richest cities in the world and experience first-hand its many captivating attractions, you will be given free reign of Victoria Peak. 

You are also treated to a panoramic view of Victoria Harbour at Sky Terrace 428 before taking a ferry straight from Kowloon Island over to Lamma Island where you’ll have dinner on board a traditional Chinese junk boat. 

Such delightful meals that are rich in cultural significance usually consist of up to five courses with each dish having symbolic meaning for good fortune along with it being extremely delicious!

11. Victoria Harbour Guided Heritage Cruise Day Tour

The Star Ferry is a great way of experiencing Hong Kong’s fantastic skyline at night. 

The boat transports its passengers between the Kowloon and Hong Kong island sides during its 45 minute journey, allowing for a view across both locations as well as the nearby mountains. 

There are photo stop opportunities along the way too so you can take in some of the fantastic city views from across the water.

12. New Territories: Heritage Tour

If you’re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong city life then a tour of the New Territories is an excellent choice. 

With this tour, you will experience nature- and history-filled sites outside of the city. You will visit temples and other historic buildings, including those found in traditional villages just beyond the city’s main borders. 

Your local guide will show you around and explain what life was like in these places back when they were first built in these locales many years ago.

13. Hong Kong After Dark: 3-Hour Night Tour

Hong Kong is one of the best cities for nightlife in Asia. Although it’s known as a metropolitan place popular with business people, it’s no secret that the city has a host of unique activities that some international travelers may not get to see. 

The impressive thing about Hong Kong is that you can be switched from one scene to another at any given time of the day or night. 

This means you can start your evening with a meal and drinks at a busy restaurant, then head out across town to an eclectic bar before hitting up a hip club at 5am followed by an all-night diner. And wouldn’t you know it – someone will close the place down!

14. Deluxe Island Tour and Lunch

Similar to the Premium Hong Kong Island Tour , this tour is made for those who want to go on a sightseeing adventure but don’t wish to spend the whole day on it. One of the many things you’ll do here is visit Victoria’s Peak, and once up there, you’ll be treated to a stunning view of the city below as you look down upon it. 

Additionally, because your passage was paid for by our company, you’ll have access to Sky Terrace 428 as well. At this point, we will take you around on a rickshaw-style open top bus so that we can provide commentary as we drive through town so you can get an idea of what makes Hong Kong such a unique place! 

When lunchtime rolls around, we’ll stop at a traditional dim sum restaurant so you can try out some authentic Chinese dishes.

15. Living Heritage Cultural Experience Guided Tour

Our fantastic Hong Kong tour is perfect for those who want to look beyond the modern architecture and luxury shopping. 

You will have the fortune to explore the cultural heritage of Hong Kong, an area which brings together British heritage with a variety of Chinese styles that have influenced life in the city over time.
