Hong Kong

Where East meets West — our home base

Hong Kong is our home base, and for many travelers, the perfect entry or exit point. 180 years as the meeting place of Chinese and British culture produced a city unlike anywhere else: neon street markets beside global banks, dim sum stalls beside Michelin restaurants. Visas are easy, English is everywhere, and the airport connects to every major city on earth.

What you\'ll see in Hong Kong

Victoria Harbour

The skyline view that defines Hong Kong — best from the Star Ferry at sunset, $0.50 a ride.

Victoria Peak

The tram up to the Peak offers the most famous cityscape view in Asia.

Temple Street Night Market

Neon, fortune tellers, dim sum stalls — the Hong Kong of films.

Dim Sum & Cha Chaan Teng

The original version of what the world calls "Chinese food." Michelin-starred meals under $15.

Lantau Island & Big Buddha

A 34m bronze Buddha on a mountaintop, reached by a 25-minute cable car over the sea.
