HK Attractions: 5 Places to See during a Holiday in Hong Kong
Discover an intense mix of British and Chinese savoir-faire during a holiday in Hong Kong, which flaunts as much tradition as it does modern culture. Uncover the personality of this Special Administration Region in its five distinct districts, which contain more than 16,000 people per square mile and enough sightseeing adventures to keep everyone on the go!
AGODA EXTRA: Wealthy and stealthy, Hong Kong’s elite residents own more Rolls Royce luxury vehicles per person than anywhere else on earth. The Peninsula Hong Kong contributes to the total by keeping a fleet of more than a dozen Rolls Royce cars on hand to transport guests.
1. Ride up Hong Kong Island’s tallest mountain on THE PEAK TRAM at VICTORIA PEAK
The view from Victoria Peak can’t be topped, for sure, but the journey up Hong Kong Island’s tallest mountain comes really close! Start your ascent from The Peak Tram in Central near St. John’s Cathedral, and try to maintain your composure as you drift over magical scenery in a vast forestland. Once you reach the top, saunter through Victoria Peak Garden at Mountain Lodge, the governor’s former summer residence, or take in a view of Victoria Harbour from Lugard and Harlech roads. To learn more about the tram, stop by The Peak Tram Historical Gallery, and grab souvenirs at Peak Tower and Peak Galleria.
Trekker tip: Hike up to Victoria Peak via Old Peak Road, or encircle the entire mountain on The Peak Circle Walk along Lugard Road and Harlech Road. Both treks begin at Peak Tower.

2. Take the whole family trekking along HONG KONG TRAIL, and conquer the DRAGON’S BACK
Easy enough for smaller children and stunning enough to make it a priority, a hike on Dragon’s Back in Shek O rates right up there with some of the best in Asia, according to TIME magazine. Trek along Wan Cham Shan ledge in Section 8 of the Hong Kong Trail for cliff-side views of Tai Tam Bay. Once you’ve “conquered the dragon,” relax on the highest point of the peak at 931 feet (284 meters) to savor the view over Big Wave Bay Beach.

3. Float above nature reserves on Lantau Island while riding the NGONG PING 360 to NGONG PING VILLAGE
One of Hong Kong’s hottest experiences, the Ngong Ping 360 cable car sweeps passengers over Lantau Island’s natural landscape and delivers them to Ngong Ping Village. This culturally-themed and modern venue offers fun shops and plenty of dining options. Explore the village’s four sections – VR 360, Stage 360, Motion 360 and Walking with Buddha – before venturing off to tour historic landmarks, like the bronze Tian Tan Buddha Statue and Po Lin Monastery.

4. Buy tickets for a hair-raising day at OCEAN PARK
Shake hands with a penguin, and swim with dolphins at Ocean Park, which features more than a dozen amusement rides, including the ultra-gripping roller coaster, the Hair Raiser. We double-dog dare you to brave the loops of this floorless beast! Divided into two sections by a mountain, Ocean Park also offers scenic views from cable cars, an array of dining options and the second longest outdoor escalator in the world.

5. Take a peaceful walking tour in Kowloon at CHI LIN NUNNERY and NAN LIAN GARDEN
Get a two-for-one natural escape with a short drive to Diamond Hill in east Kowloon. Admire a Tang dynasty-style temple complex at Chi Lin Nunnery while meandering around lotus ponds, religious statues and exquisite architecture. Cross over a stone bridge to revel in a day of serenity at Nan Lian Garden, where each piece of landscaping was designed to bring the most calming experience to every visitor. Unwind on the Lunar Reflection Terrace or next to Blue Pond, but don’t step on the grass because caretakers feel that spoiling the preserved grounds might interrupt your chi.
