Feast your eyes on the Symphony of Ligh
Wait until nighttime to see Hong Kong under a completely different light, when more than 40 of the skyscrapers on Victoria bay are lit up, offering the largest permanent light and sound show in the world! Every evening at 8 pm, the atmosphere of the entire city changes drastically into something magical, providing 10 minutes of pure joy.
Making a wish at Wong Tai Sin temple
Located in Kowloon, in the northern part of the island of Hong Kong, this Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian temple is one of the city's most iconic places. According to popular belief, all wishes that are made there are granted upon request. You will be blown away by its rich and colorful architecture, as well as by its Good Wish Garden.
Try out the city's best dim sum restaurants
Hong Kong's signature culinary specialty, dim sum (literally, "heart's delight") involves small, stuffed, bite-sized dumplings, which are either steamed or fried. You can find them on every street corner, where they come in all sorts of different varieties, and enjoy them in the traditional way, alongside a good cup of tea!
Admire the city from Victoria Peak
Take the Peak Tram, a funicular that will take you up to the city's highest peak, and while you'll get quite the view on your way up, you will be even more amazed when you get to the top! Victoria Peak offers breathtaking views of both the dizzying skyscrapers and the surrounding hills of Hong Kong.

Whether you opt to visit the antique market, the bird market, the flower market, or even the goldfish one, you certainly won't be short on choices! You can walk through them at your leisure and dive into these exotic worlds, all of them bursting with life and color.
