Hike one of Hong Kong’s Great Trails
Hong Kong has several breathtaking hikes, including those found in Lantau Island, Lamma Island, The Peak, Shek O and more. They vary from easy, leisurely strolls to seriously tough treks. All hikes are accessible from our hotel near Causeway Bay via MTR, local ferries, taxies and buses. Please contact our hotel Concierge for recommendations.
Bar Hop Your Way Through Soho and Hollywood Road
This area of Hong Kong has been revitalised by the Mid-levels escalator and the surging Hong Kong economy. Head here from our hotel near Pacific Place and stroll through the area bordered by Gough, Staunton, Elgin, Shelley, Old Bailey and Gage Streets; enjoy the bars, café and boutiques within. The whole neighbourhood is positively overflowing with funky little shops, great restaurants and an artistic, almost bohemian atmosphere.
Sample Local Food, including Dim Sum and Congee
No trip to Hong Kong China would be complete without experiencing dim sum. These are delightful snacks served in steaming bamboo baskets and eaten for breakfast and lunch, accompanied by pots and pots of Chinese tea. Steamed pork buns, shrimp dumplings, beef balls and pan-fried squid with spicy salt are just some of the local favourites.
