🇭🇰 HONG KONG in 4 days: a ready-made itinerary.

An endless, multi-layered, and incredibly interesting metropolis. If you only have 3-4 days, this itinerary will show you Hong Kong from every angle.

📌 Save it so you don't lose it, and share it with those who've long dreamed of visiting.

DAY 1 - HONG KONG ISLAND

🏯 Hollywood Road – a street where the city reveals its past: antique shops, street art, and buildings steeped in history. Explore graffiti-covered courtyards and the ancient Man Mo Temple.

🚃 Ding Ding – the legendary double-decker tram that travels across the entire island. Take the top deck, front row – it's the perfect mini-tour for just 3 HKD. You can get off at any stop and continue the ride later.

⭐️ Tim Ho Wan – the most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant in the world. Be sure to try the shrimp dim sum! The nearest branch is in the IFC Mall, conveniently located on the way to the next location.

🌆 Victoria Peak is the city's main observation deck. You can get there by Peak Tram (10 minutes) or by bus (fifth the price, but longer). Arrive at sunset to see the sky change colors and the high-rises illuminated by millions of lights. Stroll along the top or climb to Sky Terrace 428.

🏢 Monster Building (optional) – a complex of buildings forming a nearly enclosed courtyard, where the facades seem to overhang on all sides. Scenes for Transformers 4 were also filmed here.

DAY 2 - KOWLOON

🦩Kowloon Park – an oasis among the skyscrapers: a Chinese garden, quiet alleys, ponds with flamingos and turtles. A wonderful start to the day.

🛍️ Mong Kok Markets – the heart of the city's street life: markets with souvenirs, clothing, birds, fish, flowers, and endless street food. Bargaining is a must!

🌅 Avenue of Stars – a promenade with the best views of Victoria Harbor and the handprints of Hong Kong film stars. Honestly, I only recognized Jackie Chan… but the sunset was absolutely cinematic.

🌃 Symphony of Lights – a light show over the harbor, every evening at 8:00 PM. Watch from the promenade or take a harbor cruise.

🍸 Ozone Bar (evening) – 118th floor of the Ritz-Carlton, one of the highest bars in the world.

DAY 3 - o. LANTAU

🚠 Ngong Ping 360 – a cable car with a breathtaking panorama: 25 minutes over the mountains, airport, and sea. For a truly immersive experience, choose a glass-bottomed cabin.

🪷 Tian Tan Buddha – Big Buddha, the symbol of Hong Kong. To reach the foot of the giant bronze statue, you'll have to climb 268 steps.

🌸 Po Lin Monastery – a Buddhist monastery with blooming gardens. Try a vegetarian lunch prepared by the monks.

🏮 Ngong Ping Village – a cozy "tourist village" at the foot of the Buddha: souvenirs, tea shops, and various shows. A great place to relax before your journey.

🐟 Tai O – an ancient fishing village on stilts: wooden houses over the water, boats, dried fish, and the smell of the sea.

DAY 4 - PARKS AND NATURE

💫 Spend this day depending on your mood. If you're looking for action, head to the parks; if you're looking for relaxation, head to the sea.

🏰 Disneyland – a fairytale for all ages. Just don't miss the evening show. It's pure magic!

🎢 Ocean Park – one of Asia's largest theme parks: a water park, rides, a cable car with sea views, a zoo, and an aquarium.

🏖️ Repulse Bay – the island's most famous beach: a beautiful promenade, restaurants, and the temple of the sea goddess Tin Hau. It's especially nice from May to October.

HELPFUL TIPS

🚌 Transportation: To plan your travels around the city, download the Citymapper app, and to pay for travel, use the Octopus card, which works on the metro, trams, buses, and ferries.
