Traditional Junk Boat At The Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong

Hong Kong Dollar

Capital City

Cantonese, English

Good morning

Good evening

"I'll show you the soul of Hong Kong, with a fascinating culture and cuisine mixed with the soaring skyscrapers and neon streets."

Travel Director

Admire the iconic views over Victoria Harbour

Against the backdrop of the dazzling city skyline, there’s a constant flow of activity in Victoria Harbour: from ferries and cruise ships to the colorful sampans, dotted between barges and freighters. Walk along the water’s edge to admire one of the most iconic skylines in the world, and don’t miss the spectacular Symphony of Lights that illuminates the cityscape every night.

Venture to Stanley Market

Get a taste of traditional open-air markets in the little seaside village of Stanley. Situated on the south coast of the island, the sea breeze brings about a more relaxed atmosphere than the grimy street markets. Still an iconic marketplace, Stanley Market is the perfect place to find authentic Chinese embroidery and calligraphy.

Visit the Aberdeen Fishing Village

Here, you’ll find tradition mingled with modernity down by the water. Sampans and Chinese junks, where the traditional boat-dwelling Tanka people still live, are juxtaposed against the million-dollar yachts moored by high-rise buildings. Take a sampan ride around the picturesque Aberdeen fishing village to visit the famous floating restaurants and seafood markets.

Try local seafood at the Goldfish Market

The Goldfish markets are a fascinating scene. Shops brimming with tanks of tropical fish and thousands of goldfish bags hang from outdoor stands. Get the full experience with a guided tour of the Kowloon market places where you can sample tasty seafood along the way.

Take a ride on the Ngong Ping cable car

Experience the sights of Hong Kong from above the hustle and bustle of it all in the panoramic Knong Ping cable car. Take the 20-minute ride up and away from downtown Tung Chung to the tranquil Ngong Ping Plateau, and enjoy the stunning 360-degree mountain views.

Our top 5 things to do in Hong Kong

You’ll never be short of things to do in this fantastic city. From its bustling harborfront to its quiet mountain plateaus, we’ll show you all the excitement that Hong Kong has to offer.

Lantau Island

Po Lin Monastery

Wander through the Lo Pin Monastery, a sanctuary of prayer and birdsong located on the peaceful Lantau Island. Originally founded by three Buddhist monks, what was once a humble stone hut and thatched chamber has dramatically evolved into a world-renowned monastery. Imbued with Buddhist symbolism, philosophy and architecture, it is a Hong Kong must.

A-Ma Temple

Constructed in 1844 to honor the sea goddess Mazu, the hillside A-Ma temple offers a glimpse into the island’s past as a small Chinese fishing village. As you climb the steps to the temple gates, guarded by giant lions known as the “Foo Dogs”, you’ll find yourself immersed in a world of bright color and incense smoke, burning from the daily offerings.

Hong Kong Museum of History

The Hong Kong Museum takes you through an astonishing 400 years of history. The building itself is a testament to traditional Chinese architecture, siheyuan, and inside the exhibitions cover everything from the Opium wars to Japanese occupation and local folk culture. For the Bruce Lee fans, there’s an entire gallery dedicated to the martial arts legend.

Best museums in Hong Kong

Underneath the cosmopolitan shimmer of skyscrapers and modern architecture, Hong Kong is a city steeped in history and heritage. Our Hong Kong guided tours will take you to extraordinary museums and monasteries to discover its traditional roots and Chinese antiquity.

Cantonese for “touch your heart”, dim sum is as much about community as it is pork buns. Classically shared at breakfast and lunchtimes between families, friends and colleagues, the exhaustive menu offers over 2000 tiny bites served from piping hot bamboo baskets. No Hong Kong trip is complete without this quintessential dining experience!

Char Siu is unofficially considered the national dish. On almost every corner, you can find a hole-in-the-wall eatery with this delectable dish on the menu. It’s a simple preparation of sticky barbequed pork, cooked over an open fire and served on a bed of rice with a dark salty-sweet sauce.

After a long day of walking, nothing fills the belly quite like a hot pot of sizzling chicken soup. It’s a historic Chinese dish with a Hong Kongese 2-step version: first, a hot pot of stir-fried chicken, then a burning broth with fresh veggies and herbs tossed in. Make sure you get extra crispy soy rolls to soak up all the flavors.

Best food in Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a food haven, from smoking street food and downtown eateries to Michelin star restaurants with world-class views. Amongst the hot pot of eastern and western flavors, we’ll share the local specialities you cannot miss.

What to pack for Hong Kong

People packing for a tour

Pack for sustainable travel

Consider your environmental impact when you next take a trip and go single-use-plastic-free by packing a reusable water bottle, a steel straw, your own shopping bags and refillable toiletry bottles.

Hong Kong offers many unique photo opportunities. Take a good camera to capture the iconic city skyline and the busy life in the market places.

A phrasebook

While most local people speak excellent English, it’s always nice to learn a little of their language. Take a phrasebook (or download an app) and try your hand at a bit of Cantonese for simple things like ordering food.

A rain jacket

Hong Kong is notorious for its rain, no matter the time of year. Always be prepared with a rain jacket in your backpack so you can keep exploring the city, even in the wet.

Dress shirts

With plenty of high-end restaurants on offer, you might want to pack a fancy dress shirt, so you fit in during a classy night out on the town.

Good walking shoes

The transport can be a little expensive in Hong Kong, so save some HK and explore the city by the sidewalk. Good walking shoes will also come in handy for all those temple steps, and mountain walks on your Hong Kong tour package.

Culture and customs.

Hong Kong is a semi-autonomous territory of China. While it might seem like its own country – having its own passport, money, legal system and culture – technically, it’s still part of China. Most Hong Kongers, however, see themselves as separate and are quick to point out the differences. Locals speak Cantonese (rather than Mandarin) and write traditional Chinese characters (rather than simplified).

It’s important to remember that Hong Kong only became a ‘Special Administrative Region’ of China in 1997. For the preceding 150 years it was a British colony, and though it was part of China before the British came, Hong Kong was greatly influenced by foreign traders as well as the Chinese mainland.

The result of this is a culture that integrates traditional Chinese beliefs with more modern Western values. The majority of Hong Kongers practice traditional Chinese religions – Taoist, Confucian or Buddhist doctrines – but these often take a backseat to Western liberalism and a fierce belief in freedom of speech and democracy. The recent protests aimed at what’s seen as an overly intrusive Chinese government are a testament to the desire of Hong Kong’s population to retain their unique blended culture.

Given Hong Kong is one of the world’s largest and most successful financial hubs, there is an element of ‘work hard, play hard’ that pervades everyday life. This isn’t just relegated to the large expat community either, with Hong Kongers placing education, work ethic and wealth accumulation high up on their priority list.

Hong Kong is one of the wealthiest cities in the world and this is built off the back of a laissez-faire economy promoted by the British and the lack of an interventionist government. Life here is fast-paced and cosmopolitan – the population can be quite materialistic and prone to displays of wealth.

A rare example of a culture blending East and West, the Hong Kongers are equal parts aspirational and traditional. They’re saving money and saving face and here’s hoping their unique culture will continue.

History and government

Early history.

Hong Kong has been inhabited for many thousands of years and was incorporated into the Chinese empire under the Qin Dynasty in the early in the late 3rd century BC. The islands were populated by small fishing villages that grew as more Chinese ventured south from the mainland. In the 16th century the Portuguese established colonial rule of nearby Macau, and the foreign presence greatly influenced the development of Hong Kong.

Colonial rule

Hong Kong as we know it began its journey in 1842 after the British won the First Opium War. China unsuccessfully attempted to stop British drug traffickers from smuggling opium into the country and they were forced to cede Hong Kong Island to the British under the Treaty of Nanjing. Once the island had been ceded, it was much easier for the British to access China but still they wanted more. The Second Opium War kicked off in 1856 and in 1860, when the war ended, China was forced to give the British the Kowloon Peninsula. Almost 40 years later the British leased further territory from China, known as the New Territories, which set the modern dividing line. A 99-year lease was agreed upon with the return date set for 1997.

Aside from a brief period of Japanese occupation during WWII, Hong Kong remained under British control. While China took up communism in 1949, Hong Kong continued as a capitalist society and experienced a huge economic boom. In the back of everyone’s mind, however, was the looming deadline for Hong Kong’s New Territories to be returned to China.

Return to China

Leaders from Britain and China met multiple times in the years preceding the handover to discuss whether all of Hong Kong or just the leased areas would be returned. It became increasingly obvious that the New Territories, which included the airport, could not be separated from the rest of Hong Kong and in 1984 the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed. This agreement handed over all lands to China but gave Hong Kong some degree of autonomy for a period of 50 years through what’s known as the ‘one country, two systems’ policy. Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region of China with its own legal system and its capitalist economy and individual democratic rights were protected until 2047.

Modern Hong Kong

Hong Kong is still a global financial center and shows no signs of slowing down. That said, the city has been plagued by protests in response to what many are calling excessive interference by the Chinese government. In 2014, for example, elections were held but all candidates had to be vetted and approved by Beijing. The locals are concerned that moves like this are eroding their freedom, which will in turn affect their economy and lifestyle. It’s impossible to say what will happen in Hong Kong after – and in the lead up to – 2047, but it seems that the Hong Kongers are intent on keeping their society and economy as independent as possible.

Eating and drinking

Hong Kong’s history as an international port and British colony has shaped its cuisine, which deliciously blurs the lines between Chinese, Western and other international influences. Its geographic proximity to southern China means Cantonese traditions form the backbone of Hong Kong’s cuisine and specialties like dim sum can be found everywhere from hole-in-the-wall street vendors to 5-star hotels. Hong Kong has become a foodie destination for both its perfectly executed traditional dishes and the new spin Chefs are putting on them. Fun fact: the spicier the dish, the less fresh it probably is. Cantonese chefs prefer to keep the natural flavors of the ingredients, so they’ll usually use small amounts of spice. These are some you need to try:

  • Dim sum This quintessential Hong Kong dish can be found in abundance throughout the city. Translating as ‘touch the heart’, dim sum are bite-sized dishes accompanied by tea in a dining experience known as ‘yum cha’ (literally ‘drink tea’) and are rarely more expensive than USD 1–3 per dish. The most famous dim sum restaurant is probably Tim Ho Wan, which was awarded a Michelin star in 2010 and named the world’s ‘cheapest Michelin-starred restaurant’, or Luk Yu Tea House, which dates back to 1933.
  • Char siu The Cantonese don’t mess around when it comes to pork. This dish is traditionally cooked by skewering strips of marinated, boneless pork and placing them over a fire or in an oven, then served with noodles, rice or inside a bun.
  • Seafood Given Hong Kong’s location, it comes as no surprise that seafood is a massive part of the local restaurant scene. Shellfish and fresh fish are served up in a variety of ways from fish balls to seafood soup and lobster and crab.
  • Congee This rice porridge has been eaten around the world for over a thousand years. The Cantonese version will often use fish or pork stock as a base for this silky-smooth comfort food.

 Plant-based options

Hong Kong may be known for its traditional meat-based dishes but a food-mad city like this has plenty of options for vegetarians and vegans too. In fact, Hong Kong is probably the best place in all of China for varied vegetarian food and it’s not just a case of ordering a dish without the meat. From vegetarian dumplings to noodles and a range of European-influenced dishes, you’ll have no issue finding a veggie feast while in town.

Of course, this is all a lot easier when you’re traveling with a local, someone who knows the language and the culture and can help you tell your sorrel from your schi (they’re both soups FYI). If you travel with Intrepid, you’ll have a local leader who can help you decipher menus and recommend good plant-based choices.

Geography and environment

Located on the south-eastern coast of China, Hong Kong is made up of three main territories: Hong Kong Island, Kowloon and the New Territories. With an extremely high population density, Hong Kong as a whole is notorious for lacking residential space and this comes down to the difficult terrain. The region has undergone a series of land reclamation projects to increase usable land area, with the international airport being built by leveling two islands and reclaiming some 6 square miles (10 square kilometers) of seabed.

Hong Kong Island

This was the first piece of land occupied by the British Empire and sits on the southern shore of Victoria Harbour. The central area is the economic and historical center of Hong Kong. It’s packed with skyscrapers and shopping malls, while other parts of the island offer hilly terrain and good hiking opportunities.

Kowloon sits directly opposite Hong Kong Island on the north shore of Victoria Harbour. It’s the southern part of Hong Kong’s mainland territory and was taken by the British in 1860. It has developed into a thriving shopping and entertainment district and is surrounded by the New Territories.

The New Territories

The New Territories refer to the land leased by the British from China in 1898. It includes all the area between Kowloon and the border with mainland China, as well as more than 200 outlying islands, most notably Lantau and Lamma islands. Lantau is home to the airport as well as sights like Disneyland and the Big Buddha, while Lamma is popular for hiking trails and beaches. A lot of the New Territory’s land is quite mountainous, with Hong Kong’s highest point – Tai Mo Shan – located in the range just north of Kowloon. The eastern region is sparsely populated, with many hiking trails winding through the lush, tropical greenery.

Hong Kong has a subtropical climate and is generally pretty hot and humid.

Spring sees average temperatures in the low 20s°C (high 60s°F) that steadily increase into the summer. June, July and August are the wettest months with heavy rain from the south-southwest monsoon. Temperatures average around 28°C (82°F) and humidity is quite high. Fall sees a fall in humidity, less rainfall and average temperatures of 20–28°C (68–82°F). Winter is even drier and can actually get quite cool, especially in the evenings. Temperatures tend to top out around 20°C (68°F) and can drop down to 10°C (50°F).

Hong Kong is a world-famous shopping destination with a glut of luxury stores, unique antiques and a mind-boggling range of other offerings.

Temple Street Night Market

While the city has more than its fair share of chaotic markets, the Temple Street Night Market is it's most famous. Located in the heart of Kowloon, this market is open seven nights a week and can provide you with everything from electronics, clothes and antiques to noodles and seafood soup.

Mongkok Ladies’ Market

Mongkok is one of the most densely populated places on the planet. This market got its name from the amount of women’s clothing and accessories on sale but there’s plenty more up for grabs on this one-kilometer strip. Weave your way through the crowd and see if you can be the first to grab a bargain – even if you don’t it’s a memorable experience.

Hong Kong’s Central district has just about all the shopping options you’ll ever need. Wyndham and Hollywood roads have a bunch of art galleries and some of Asia’s best antique shops, while the Landmark shopping mall is home to your top-end brands like Louis Vuitton.

Causeway Bay

Causeway Bay is touted as one of Hong Kong’s best shopping districts and is home to the Times Square shopping mall. It’s known as a city without night as the closing times are the latest in the city and there’s plenty of street food to keep the most rabid shopper fueled up.

Festivals and events

Chinese New Year

The most important event on the Chinese calendar comes with many traditions and customs. The city shuts down – but not before being decorated in red, the color of good fortune – while people visit family, exchange iconic Lai See gifts (red envelopes stuffed with cash) and drop into their local temple for prayer. It can be difficult to travel during this period, so your best bet is to stay put and take in the dragon dances, parade of carnival floats and the immense fireworks display that takes place over Victoria Harbour.

Hong Kong Arts Festival

Founded in 1973, the Hong Kong Arts Festival takes place over February and March each year and promotes leading local and international artists in all genres of the performing arts. Past performers include the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Paris Opera Ballet, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Philip Glass, the China National Peking Opera Company and the Bolshoi Theatre. With cultural events spread over the festival period there are a bunch of fantastic opportunities to see some of the best artists from both China and the rest of the world.

Mid-Autumn Festival

This harvest festival is celebrated in different ways in various southeast Asian countries, but in Hong Kong festivities are all about illuminated lanterns and dragon dances. For three days each September, colorful lantern exhibits, performances, palm readings and games fill neighborhoods as people gorge on mooncakes. Head to Tai Hang for a festival highlight – where hundreds of performers use incense sticks and firecrackers to make an incredible ‘fire dragon’ dance.

Dragon Boat Festival

People flock to waterways across China every year to watch three days of frantic competition. The party is just as important as the race in Hong Kong with concerts, food trucks, beer tents, games and more popping up around Victoria Harbour. The festivities begin on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month each year.

Public holidays that may impact travel include:

Buddha’s Birthday

Hong Kong Special Admins. Region Establishment Day

National Day of the People’s Republic of China

Chung Yeung Festival

Please note dates of Hong Kong's public holidays may vary.

Hong Kong travel FAQs

Do i need a covid-19 vaccine to join an intrepid trip.

Trips from 1 January 2023 onwards

From 1 January 2023, Intrepid will no longer require travelers to provide proof of vaccination against COVID-19 (excluding all Polar trips and select adventure cruises).

However, we continue to strongly recommend that all Intrepid travelers and leaders get vaccinated to protect themselves and others.

Specific proof of testing or vaccination may still be required by your destination or airline. Please ensure you check travel and entry requirements carefully.

When is the best time to visit Hong Kong?

The best time to visit Hong Kong is during the mid-shoulder seasons – from mid-March to mid-April and mid-October until late November. These are the periods most likely to feature pleasant temperatures and a relatively small amount of rain compared to the rest of the year, while the October/November period also tends to see more sunshine.

Is it safe to travel to Hong Kong?

Hong Kong has traditionally been a very safe place to visit. That said, there have been ongoing protests directed at the Chinese government that can take place with very little warning. While these generally don’t present a direct threat to tourists, it’s possible you may get caught up if you don’t take precautions. Always monitor the local news for word of any possible protests.

Do I need a visa to travel to Hong Kong?

Travelers from the US, Europe, Australia, Canada and New Zealand do not require a visa for stays of up to 90 days. If you hold a UK passport, you may stay for 180 days without a visa.

Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveler. Entry requirements can change at any time, so it's important that you check for the latest information. Please visit the relevant consular website of the country or countries you’re visiting for detailed and up-to-date visa information specific to your country of origin. Check the Essential Trip Information section of your tour itinerary for more information.

Is tipping customary in Hong Kong?

Tipping isn’t a huge part of Hong Kong’s culture and most restaurants will add a 10–15 per cent service charge to your bill. That said, hotel staff, like luggage porters, will often expect a small tip for their service.

What is the internet access like in Hong Kong?

Free wi-fi is widely available across Hong Kong. You should be able to find hotspots at most major tourist attractions, libraries, major stations and shopping malls. Many hotels, bar and cafes will also offer complimentary wi-fi.

Can I use my mobile/cell phone while in Hong Kong?

Mobile/cell phone coverage is exceptional across Hong Kong. Phones can be used pretty much everywhere and there are a number of tourist SIM cards available for purchase once you arrive. If you’d prefer to use your global roaming, be sure to activate it before departing and always check costs with your provider.

Can I drink the water in Hong Kong?

Tap water is considered safe to drink in Hong Kong unless marked otherwise. For environmental reasons, try to avoid buying bottled water. Fill a reusable water bottle or canteen with filtered water instead.

Are credit cards widely accepted in Hong Kong?

Major credit cards are accepted by large hotels, stores and restaurants, but may not be accepted by smaller vendors and market stalls. Be sure to carry a small amount of some cash in case your card is not an option.

What is ATM access like in Hong Kong?

ATMs are easy to find in Hong Kong and the majority will accept foreign cards.

What is the weather like in Hong Kong?

Hong Kong experiences a subtropical climate with mild winters and hot, wet and humid summers. The average temperature range across the year is 15–31°C (59–88°F) with rainfall at its heaviest from May through September. The large rain deposits over the summer come in the form of storms and downpours so while it will be wet, it won’t be wet for long.

Is Hong Kong safe for LGBTQIA+ travelers?

Despite Hong Kong’s liberal values, the city tends to follow traditional Chinese beliefs when it comes to sexuality. This means that homosexuality was considered a mental illness up until 2001 and though things have certainly improved, discrimination laws are not equal between LGBT and non-LGBT identifying citizens. There is still no legal recognition of same-sex relationships.

That said, Hong Kong is a hassle-free destination for LGBTQIA+ travelers that display discretion. Public displays of affection are rare in Hong Kong for both heterosexual and same-sex couples anyway, and Hong Kongers are generally very tolerant given their British history. Hong Kong also holds an annual Pride Parade, which is banned in mainland China. 

For more detailed and up-to-date advice, we recommend visiting  Equaldex  or  ILGA   before you travel.

Is Hong Kong accessible for travelers with disabilities?

Intrepid is committed to making travel widely accessible, regardless of ability or disability. That’s why we do our best to help as many people see the world as possible, regardless of any physical or mental limitations they might have. We’re always happy to talk to travelers with disabilities and see if we can help guide them towards the most suitable itinerary for their needs and, where possible, make reasonable adjustments to our itineraries.

Hong Kong is one of the best cities in Asia for travelers with disabilities. Its modern public transport system is almost entirely accessible, including the MTR and ferry, though there are only a limited number of taxis with wheelchair ramps available. Most sights are accessible and there are plenty of accommodation options available depending on the individual traveler’s needs. Sidewalks in the touristed areas tend to have curb ramps too.

If you do live with a visual, hearing or other impairment, let your booking agent or group leader know early on so they’re aware and suitable arrangements can be made. As a general rule, knowing some common words in the local language, carrying a written itinerary with you and taking to the streets in a group, rather than solo, can help make your travel experience the best it can be.

What to wear in Hong Kong

Your wardrobe while visiting Hong Kong ultimately comes down to personal preference. You can get away with loose-fitting shirts, dresses, shorts or trousers for most of the year without too much discomfort. In summer, however, it can be particularly humid and wet so it’s best to wear breathable clothing and a light waterproof jacket or poncho. The winter evenings can get a little chilly too so it’s good to have a light sweater or a few layers to stay warm.

What our clients say.

Martin was an excellent guide – his detailed knowledge was astounding and he mixed it up nicely with personal anecdotes about Hong Kong’s history.

WW2 Walk, January 2018

Just a quick note before we head off to London, to say thanks for a lovely morning yesterday. Both Ivy and I enjoyed the walk a lot and sharing it with you made it all the more pleasurable. It was fascinating, it was amiable. What more can I say! 

Ma On Shan Highland Hike, Scott and Ivy, May 2023

Terence, Wildlife Nightwalk, July 2019

You opened the door for us, we walked through and learned, enjoyed our guides and laughed along the way. Made up for the sore feet! See you next time, lots more to see and do!

Kathryn and Klay, October 2014

Dear Martin, we would like to send you special thanks for the tour this morning! Your knowledge (perhaps wisdom?) is extraordinary and even better you give an understanding of it which is really inspiring! Thank you very much!

Christine Vholtey, Hong Kong Heritage Walk, January 2018

Gabi was very informative, gave us a lot of insight for Hong Kong. I really recommend to take this tour, it’s not only markets, it’s about Hong Kong.

Kowloon Markets Walk, October 2017

Been to Hong Kong many times but have never done a hike. The hike was amazing and the guide informed us of so many things we didn’t even know about Hong Kong. Well worth it!

Chan Ho-him in Hong Kong

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

The price of membership at Hong Kong’s most exclusive private clubs has fallen as much as 20 per cent on the secondary market over the past year, brokers said, as the city’s economy slows and well-heeled expatriates and residents leave the Chinese territory.

The Asian financial hub’s private membership clubs have been an integral part of its business community since the British colonial era, with some institutions enjoying significantly cheaper rents under agreements dating back decades.

Rules vary but individual and corporate club memberships typically require a hefty payment, and sometimes a long wait. Prices on the secondary market for memberships took a hit during the pandemic, as the territory’s tough zero-Covid policy drove many expats and residents away from the city. Prices have continued to fall even after Hong Kong ’s lockdown rules ended.

Asking rates on the secondary market for a membership at the Aberdeen Marina Club, a 40-year-old private club that spans 550,000 sq ft and operates seven restaurants as well as sports and family facilities including an ice-skating rink and a bowling alley, plunged nearly 20 per cent to about HK$2.75mn (US$350,000) from roughly HK$3.4mn in early 2023, according to two brokerages that trade private club memberships. Prior to the pandemic, such memberships would have gone for up to HK$4mn, they said.

Membership of the Hong Kong Cricket Club, founded in 1851, now changes hands for about HK$1.1mn, down from HK$1.4mn early last year, according to Everfine Membership Services, another broker.

At the Kowloon Cricket Club, memberships are changing hands on the secondary market for about HK$900,000, brokers said, down from more than HK$1mn early last year. Membership at Discovery Bay Golf Club dropped to HK$2.8mn from more than HK$3.1mn over the same period, they said.

The sense of crisis at the city’s clubs broke into the open this month when the nearly century-old American Club asked its non-US members to pay as much as HK$1.5mn to retain their membership or leave the club, a move in part designed to help it maintain its non-profit tax status. The club backtracked after a negative response from members.

“Desire for memberships has been hit by the poor economic sentiment,” said Bena Wong, a membership consultant at Fuji Consultants, a brokerage that trades private club memberships. “People are no longer splashing money.” Fewer mainlanders were looking for membership thanks to the economic slowdown in China , he added.

The downsizing or departure from the territory of some multinationals, which often hold corporate memberships, has also put pressure on prices. The number of companies with regional headquarters in Hong Kong fell to 1,336 last year from 1,541 in 2019.

“The market has been quiet,” said Tony Chan, sales director at Everfine Membership Services. “Some members have moved overseas, while companies have moved their base elsewhere.”

“The second-hand market is very much reflective of the economy,” said a former banker in Hong Kong who holds four private club memberships.

French bank Natixis forecasts Hong Kong’s economy will grow 2.6 per cent this year, following a less than expected 3.2 per cent expansion last year.

Authorities in the territory have been attempting to attract more wealthy individuals and professionals, including by offering tax incentives for family offices .

Hong Kong’s government in March restarted a capital investment immigration scheme for those willing to invest HK$30mn in the city, which has attracted many mainlanders, even though the scheme is only open to mainlanders who are permanent residents of a foreign country.

“The weak economy has taken a toll [on membership prices],” said Raymond Kwok, founder of brokerage BA Marketing & Co. “But when prices drop to a certain level, it will stabilise and possibly rebound.”

The Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA), established in 1962, is the city’s first public art museum. With an extensive collection of over 19,500 works, it represents Hong Kong’s unique cultural legacy and global connections. By curating a diverse range of art - from traditional to the contemporary and Chinese to Western - HKMoA aspires to offer refreshing perspectives on heritage while making art accessible and relevant to all.

PMQ is a creative hub housing around 100 enterprises and showcasing a wide array of products, including fashion and accessories, gifts, and other lifestyle goods. This revitalised landmark celebrates Hong Kong’s vibrant design scene across its historic courtyards and studios.

Kwun Tong Promenade, situated next to Kwun Tong Bypass, was built on the former site of the Kwun Tong Public Cargo Working Area. Stretching approximately one kilometre, the waterfront boardwalk offers close-up views of the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal and the Runway Park - the new landmarks of East Kowloon. Additionally, the promenade provides splendid night-time views of Hong Kong Island East, Victoria Harbour and Lei Yue Mun.

Cochrane Street is a hilly street that hosts the Central–Mid-Levels escalators, the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. It also intersects with Hollywood Road, one of Hong Kong’s oldest streets with over 180 years history, and recently awarded the title of first runner-up for the world’s coolest streets. The area surrounding Hollywood Road and Cochrane Street is brimming with art, murals, installations, galleries, bars and restaurants.

Central Pier is a ferry terminal in Hong Kong that connects to various outlying islands and both sides of Victoria Harbour. Through a series of integrations and developments, it combines the functions of former government piers, including Blake Pier, United Pier, City Hall Ferry Pier, Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier and Queen's Pier, making it a centralised location for the majority of ferry services.

The revitalised Temple Street offers authentic decorations that serve as must-visit photo spots. The roadside food stalls offer an endless array of delectable Hong Kong snacks and diverse specialty products, ensuring a satisfying experience for your taste buds. With a captivating night scene, Temple Street showcases the lively and vibrant culture of Hong Kong.

The Water Sports and Recreation Precinct covers about 1.7 hectares on Hung Hing Road in Wan Chai. It offers multifunctional outdoor and indoor spaces with stunning views of Victoria Harbour. Visitors can bring their pets on leashes or explore two retired ‘Fly Head’ train cars on the finger pier donated by the MTR Corporation Limited, allowing the public to reminisce about Hong Kong’s past.

Spanning 40 hectares of reclaimed land, the West Kowloon Cultural District (WKCD) is one of the world’s largest cultural projects. An arts and cultural hub with performance and exhibition venues, WKCD is home to green outdoor spaces, a growing selection of cafes and restaurants, and a waterfront promenade perfect for enjoying sunset views and evening strolls along Victoria Harbour.

Located in the heart of Central, Chater Garden offers a lush, green oasis amidst the high-rise buildings. Open to the public in 1978, the garden features water fountains with spill pools and an area showcasing various species of trees from around the world, providing a tranquil resting space for visitors.

The Peak Tower is one of Hong Kong’s most iconic architectural landmarks. Sky Terrace 428 stands 428 metres high and offers jaw-dropping views of the city. With an array of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues, including Madame Tussauds Hong Kong and Madness 3D Adventure, it can cater to all ages and tastes.

Visitors can also ‘Post Love to the Future’ by depositing a postcard in the dedicated mailbox, to be delivered on a date of your choice within the next 365 days.
