Hong Kong is a great place to visit either as a destination on its own, or, as many people do, as a first-time 2 day stop over between flights. I’ve lived in Hong Kong for 10 years, so . . . I’m biased . . . but also leaves me well placed to give you tips on how to have the best experience.
For this review, I’m focusing on 10 classic highlights of Hong Kong and can give some tips that will improve your experience. But my biggest tip overall is that Hong Kong is not just skyscrapers and neon signs – more than 3/4 of HK is undeveloped, 40% is national parks and a mini tropical paradise if you just jump on a ferry or take a short taxi ride. For some ideas that will give you an even better HK experience, see the travel entry for 2 days hidden highlights of Hong Kong – you maybe surprised at just how world-class an experience you can get from these tiny little islands.
