Welcome to Hong Kong! We traveled to Hong Kong in December of 2019 and absolutely loved it. Hong Kong is an incredible metropolis that merges old-school colonial with the cities of the future. Known for its world-class dining and luxurious hotels, Hong Kong has so much to offer travelers looking for an epic city escape. So, we’re here to share the top three things to keep in mind when planning your trip! We’re going to share where to stay, what to do and activities that are not to be missed:

You can’t go wrong when choosing a hotel in Hong Kong – but we love Hong Kong Island. The easy access to tourist sites, shopping and world-class dining had us hooked. The Shangri-La (our hotel) was directly next to a number of other hotels- like the Upperhouse and JW Marriott. The metro is accessible from the lower floors in the mall and can get you to Mong Kok and other areas of the city within just a few minutes.

Lastly, Mong Kok is a great destination for shopping. Hit the Ladies Market starting at noon to shop for jewelry, purses, fake goods (think fucci, frada and shanel ;)). Mong Kok is home to several markets and great hole-in-the-wall eateries.

Overall, Hong Kong is the perfect destination for anyone looking for nonstop action and luxury. While we stayed only 4 nights, we could have spent the week exploring all that Hong Kong has to offer. Check out our destination guide to learn more about Hong Kong.
