Extraordinary things are made in Hong Kong, soaring skyscrapers, high density luxurious fashion emporiums and the surprise discovery of enormous areas of country parks.
Whether you are on business or enjoying a brief stopover there are some things to do and see that will give you a broad perspective of this exciting destination. Visiting The Peak or crossing Victoria Harbour on the Star Ferry and, of course, shopping. Shopping anywhere, in luxury atriums and canvas covered street markets.
Eating is a serious pastime in Hong Kong; the variety of Chinese food is inexhaustible, from a delicious dim sum lunch to smoked duck, the classic of Szechuan. Almost any cuisine you want can be found in the city.
For longer side trips, Hong Kong is, of course, the gateway to China. The mainland is easily accessible with frequent air links, efficient rail services and some of the world's largest fleets of high-speed ferries.
Alternatively, Macau is a short ferry trip away. Mandarin Oriental, Macau is a beautiful urban resort hotel and an excellent base to explore this World Heritage Site with neighbourhoods of cobblestone streets and baroque architecture, or to spend some time and money in the many Las Vegas-style casinos.
Bright lights and parties, or sub-tropical countryside and Chinese markets, you can make that trip in Hong Kong.
We aim to provide you with the best possible opportunity to enjoy this unique destination, the home of Mandarin Oriental. We have therefore provided you with details on the weather, getting around, things to do and see and useful local information.
