Hong Kong 香港

5-Day Itinerary for Hong Kong

A view of Hong Hong from the hike that starts atop the Peak Tram.

Hong Kong has so many different sites and activities to offer that anybody and everybody can find things that they enjoy. That being said this is how I would spend my time there based on my own personal likes and dislikes.

Day 1: Explore Hong Kong Island

  • Take the Star Ferry to Peak Tram to Hong Kong Island.
  • Explore Hong Kong Island for the afternoon. Check out the world’s longest outdoor escalator.
  • In the late afternoon head to Peak Tram, be sure to check the closing times (it may vary based on the season that you go). Check out the Sky Terrace at the summit of the Peak Tram.

Day 2: Hike it up!

  • Take the Dragon’s Back excursion or hike a couple of the islands around Hong Kong Island (like Lamma Island).
  • Take a night out on the town either by visiting your style of bar or club. You could also take this time to visit the Ozone Bar at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

  • Visit Po Lin Monastery and the Heavenly Buddha.
  • Visit the Women’s Market
