Day 1
On your first day, it’s a good idea to familiarise yourself with the culture and history of Hong Kong, so why not enjoy a free walking tour of the city! HK Free Walk is an awesome tour with excellent guides that will take you to some of the city’s most notable locations.
Day 2
Consider exploring Hong Kong’s urban districts on your second day, especially if you’re staying at one of the city’s centrally-located hotels like the Cosmo Hotel Wan Chai Hong Kong. The massive skyscrapers found here are quite something to behold.
Day 3
If you’re interested in visiting some of the best cultural attractions in Hong Kong, use your third day here to visit the renowned Tian Tan Buddha Statue. You have to ride a cable car up a mountain to reach this work of art and will be treated to some spectacular views along the way.
Day 4
Now that you’ve gotten a taste of the beauty that exists outside the city limits, why not use your fourth day to fully experience this region. A hike along the mountains that surround the city, notably the Dragon’s Back Trail, can be a truly memorable and rewarding experience.
Day 5
Round out your time here in Hong Kon by going on a culinary adventure through the city. There are plenty of great places to eat here and some of the street food offerings are truly delectable.
