The city where east meets west in more ways than one, Hong Kong is a breath-taking metropolis where modernity and tradition, and skyscrapers and mountains all rub shoulders.

There’s plenty to see and do in Hong Kong, whether it be taking the Peak Tram to take in the spectacular skyline, cruising on the iconic Victoria Harbour, or a stroll on Hong Kong’s very own Walk of Fame, the Avenue of Stars.

For shopping, you should check out the Cheung Sha Wan Road and Temple Street areas, both of which are full of bustling markets, and for food, look no further than Lan Kwai Fong and Soho for authentic Asian dishes.

For something altogether more calming, a little way out of the city you can find the Big Buddha statue in the mountains of Lantau Island, or follow the Ping Shan Heritage Trail which takes in some of Hong Kong’s most popular cultural sites.

Once you arrive in Hong Kong, you can catch the Airport Express train for the fastest route into the city, with tickets costing $100 (around £10), or take a taxi for around $250-350 (£22-£32).

In terms of weather, Hong Kong is a lot hotter than the UK, with average temperatures of 29°C in the summer, and a more bearable 16°C during winter.

Remember that the local currency in Hong Kong is the Hong Kong Dollar and the time difference is eight hours ahead of the UK.

Finally, you won’t need to worry about applying for a visa if you’re visiting for anything less than six months, although you will require one if you plan on staying longer.
