Why you'll love it
Hong Kong is a dense, harbour-side city where skyscrapers rise between green mountains and the sea. It gets Triptakeo's top score for food, and 9 out of 10 for luxury and safety, making it one of Asia's best cities for a short break or a stopover.
The best time to visit Hong Kong is October to December, with clear skies, lower humidity and comfortable temperatures. Summer is hot and humid, with typhoons possible.
Ride the Peak Tram up Victoria Peak for the skyline, then cross the harbour on the Star Ferry. Eat dim sum for breakfast, and roast goose and wonton noodles later in the day. The markets of Mong Kok and the Temple Street Night Market are lively after dark. For a change of pace, hike the Dragon's Back trail or take a ferry to Lantau Island to see the Big Buddha.
Hong Kong suits food lovers, couples and stopover travellers.
