A Perfect Day in Hong Kong

Thanks to personal relationships with trusted contacts around the world, along with real-life destination knowledge you can trust, we will take you off the beaten track to experience the best this amazing city has to offer. Here, one of our favorite local resources shares her idea of a perfect day in Hong Kong.

7:26AM

Wake up to an incredible choice of breakfast items on the menu at Cafe Causette or Clipper Lounge inside the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong-a complimentary perk for booking your stay through our agency. Even though they serve a range of dishes from all over the world, choose the Chinese selection and dine on congee, steamed dumplings and fried egg noodles. Afterward, hop into your waiting taxi ordered for you by the concierge.

9:01am

Kick off your unforgettable tour with one of the most amazing views in the world. Head to the Garden Road Terminus Station and board the Peak Tram, a bright red funicular railway that takes you 1,300 feet up to the top of Victoria Peak. From the Peak Circle Walk, view the entire cityscape and bay in one dazzling panoramic that will put your camera to the test.

11:45am

Once back at sea level, queue up at City Hall Maxim's Palace for dim sum done right. Here, sit back in tassel-trimmed chairs and soak in the regal decor as uniformed servers wheel around a traditional silver cart piled high with bamboo steamer baskets full of dumplings, tofu and rice noodle rolls.

1:31pm

Even though Hong Kong is known for its high-end fashion chains, instead head to PMQ (the former Police Married Headquarters) to walk around its historic, maze-like interior and discover artist workshops and local designers. Afterward, reward yourself with a traditional Chinese foot massage-you'll find a massage parlor on nearly every corner, each filled with strong-fingered professionals who know your feet's pressure points.

4:00pm

Now that you're feeling relaxed, sip in the city's British history with high tea. We recommend heading to SEVVA, where the stunning high ceilings and gorgeous harbor views perfectly complement the savory morsels, especially the wild mushroom ragout and signature vegetable spring rolls. For those looking for a little kick with their tea, we suggest Dr. Fern's Gin Parlour, a colorful speakeasy famous for its MadHatter Afternoon Tea Set.

5:45pm

Hop on the iconic Star Ferry and cross from Hong Kong to Kowloon, soaking in bustling Victoria Harbor from the upper deck. Once docked, head straight to the Temple Street Night Market and relish the vibrant bazaar atmosphere of this popular marketplace. As the sun fades, the market will come alive as vendors excitedly showcase their jade, antiques, jewelry and more.

8:01pm

Walk a few blocks back to the Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, take your purchases up to your room and prepare for dinner. Tonight, you stay on-site to feast at The Aubrey, offering both sweeping views of the Victoria Harbor from the 25th floor and an authentic Japanese izakaya experience.

10:10pm

After dinner, use the 100 USD Food & Beverage credit you received for booking through our agency and treat yourself to drinks at the Captain's Bar. Not only will you enjoy the live jazz and blue performance, but you'll also experience first-hand why the cozy bar is a popular destination for guests and locals alike.
