About Hong Kong

Discover dynamic Hong Kong

Hong Kong is a city where glass towers meet lush green hillsides and a glittering harbour. You will find dense urban streets, peaceful hiking trails, and sweeping skyline views all within easy reach of one another. The pace is energetic, but it is also easy to escape to quieter corners when you need a break.

As a global trading hub, Hong Kong blends international influences with strong local character. Compact neighbourhoods reveal a mix of markets, traditional shophouses, and contemporary galleries. After dark, the city lights up with harbour illuminations, rooftop bars, and busy waterfront promenades.

For visitors from Brussels, Hong Kong offers a distinct change of scene, from the subtropical climate to the fragrance of street food and the sounds of its bustling streets. Efficient public transport, clear signage, and a wide choice of accommodation make it simple to explore whether it is your first visit or a familiar favourite.

Experience Hong Kong beyond the skyline

Hong Kong rewards those who explore on foot. Wander through contrasting districts, from the narrow lanes of Mong Kok with its markets and neon signs to the steep streets of Sheung Wan lined with cafes, antique shops, and galleries. Taking a traditional Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour gives you a different angle on the cityscape and a sense of its maritime heritage.

Outdoor activities are never far away. Many visitors are surprised by how much of Hong Kong is covered in country parks, with well-marked hiking trails offering views over islands, reservoirs, and bays. Routes like the Dragon's Back are popular for their accessible paths and coastal scenery, while quieter trails offer a more secluded experience.

To understand the city more deeply, consider a guided walking tour that focuses on design, food, or history. Harbour cruises, open-top bus rides, and evening excursions to hilltop viewpoints also help you see how the city changes from day to night.

A taste of Hong Kong

Hong Kong is known for its varied dining scene, from simple cafes to refined tasting menus. You can find steaming baskets of dumplings, roasted meats hanging in shop windows, and fresh seafood on offer in different parts of the city. Street-level eateries and casual restaurants are ideal for sampling local favourites in a relaxed setting.

The city is also home to many international cuisines, reflecting its long-standing role as a meeting point of cultures. Waterfront restaurants, sky-high dining rooms, and intimate neighbourhood bistros all offer distinct perspectives on the city around you. Afternoon tea and bakery stops are another enjoyable way to experience local flavours.

Food is part of daily life in Hong Kong, and mealtimes are often lively and social. Whether you prefer to follow local recommendations, explore food courts in shopping centres, or plan ahead for sought-after reservations, you will find many opportunities to discover new dishes.

Retail therapy in Hong Kong

Shopping is a major draw in Hong Kong, with options ranging from flagship stores along Canton Road to multi-level malls connected directly to public transport. Brands from around the world sit alongside specialist retailers, watch and jewellery shops, and lifestyle stores, giving you plenty of choice in one compact area.

If you enjoy browsing markets, you will find different streets dedicated to fashion, electronics, flowers, and more. Market areas are ideal for picking up simple souvenirs and everyday items, as well as soaking up the local atmosphere. Nearby side streets often reveal independent boutiques with a more curated feel.

Large shopping centres on Hong Kong Island, in Kowloon, and near the airport combine retail with dining and entertainment, making them easy to visit even on a short stay. With long opening hours and well-connected locations, you can comfortably fit shopping into your itinerary before or after sightseeing.
