Top 5 Things to Do

in Hong Kong
1

Take a helicopter ride

You want a breathtaking view of Hong Kong? Take a helicopter ride around the city! It won't be cheap though.

  • best time - dusk; not during a thunderstorm or typhoon
2

Ride the Peak Tram

Take the Peak Tram up the hill to Victoria Peak
  • best time - dusk on a clear day
3

Ride the cable car

You can either ride it in Ocean Park or at Ngong Ping 360. To ride the latter, you can board it in Tung Chung near the MTR station. And if you pay a little more, you can ride one with a glass bottom! link to Ngong Ping 360
  • best time - when it's not windy
  • BEWARE: every once in a while, their operation is suspended, so check before you head out.
4

Ride the century-old tram

The tram service on Hong Kong Island has been around for literally a century. It is a great way to see a little of the city especially from the upper deck. more
5

Take a harbor cruise

Take a night time harbor cruise to enjoy the sights on both sides of Victoria Harbor. more

If you want an inexpensive version of that, ride the Star Ferry instead. Of course then each ride is only 5 or 10 minutes. (Riding a Chinese sailboat is also an excellent alternative.)
