About Hong Kong
Hong Kong packs a dramatic skyline, green hiking trails and some of Asia's best street food into a small stretch of land around Victoria Harbour. The view from Victoria Peak, looking down over the tower blocks to the water, is one of the great cityscapes in the world.
Many of our China itineraries include Hong Kong as a closing or opening leg, taking advantage of its excellent international flight connections and easy rail link to mainland Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
