How to make the most of a stopover in Hong Kong?

Whether you're airline is dropping you off on a stopover or Hong Kong is your first step on a trip to Asia, you can get plenty from a stopover in Hong Kong. Here's how to make the most of your time whether it's one hour or ten.

Where is Hong Kong Airport?

The airport is on Lantau Island, which is about 30km from the city center on Hong Kong Island. While Lantau Island is well worth exploring, especially the village on stilts and the Big Buddha, most visitors will want to see the Hong Kong of skyscrapers and flashing neon lights. Luckily, it's only a 30min trip in to town.

How to get to the city center?
The Airport Express is really the only smart way to get into town. It runs every few minutes and takes just 30 minutes to deliver you to either Kowloon Station or Hong Kong Central Station. It's not only cheaper than a taxi but it's quicker too. It's also worth flagging the excellent in town check in service offered. This allows you to check in and leave your bags at Hong Kong Station up to twenty four hours ahead of your flight - leaving you free to explore the city. Check with your airline if they participate, although the vast majority do

Where to eat in Ocean Park Hong Kong?

The good news is that the rubber hoses that once passed as hot dogs are no longer your only option at Ocean Park Hong Kong. There is absolutely no reason to eat badly in Hong Kong and it seems Ocean Park Hong Kong have finally cottoned on to that fact. The bad news is that they’re also wised up on prices and the slew of new restaurants that have opened at Ocean Park Hong Kong are a little overpriced.

The only chain inside the park is McDonald's, which is joined by around a dozen fast food kiosks.

The Neptune’s restaurant is The premise here is that if you like looking at fish, you might also enjoy eating them and at Neptune’s you can do both. The Grand Aquarium is Ocean Park’s Hong Kong grandstand attraction, featuring nearly 5,000 fish, from manta rays to turtles, and Neptune’s gives you front row seats. The restaurant is wrapped by the aquarium and diners are sat right next to the glass. Unsurprisingly, there is a HK$150 minimum spend at the restaurant, although that’s unlikely to be a problem with starters like mushroom soup coming in at HK$68 and smoked salmon pasta tipping the scales at HK$188. It’s worth making a reservation in advance if you think you know what time you’d like to eat because seats can fill up fast.

What should I do in Hong Kong?
Probably the most popular question we get asked; what should I do in Hong Kong in two days, in one week, in two weeks or whatever other time period a visitor is staying for.

In truth the answer is always personal. It depends what you’re interested in; from the world’s tallest 

skyscraper and longest freestanding suspension bridge to just eating Dim Sum…and then more Dim Sum.

Below we've tried to separate out the essentials of the city depending on how long you’re staying. The best sights if you’re here for just a few days and a more leisurely itinerary if you have more time.

24 hours to 48 hours  

hours Airport stopover or book-ending a business weekend; don’t let your limited time stop you seeing what Hong Kong has to offer. In 24 hours you can still see a boiled down version of the city and for most people that’s the skyscrapers and the skyline. Yes, Hong Kong, does have a great outdoors, but the city’s spirit is in its high rises and the streets of Central. Take a trip to the Peak for a birds eye view and get a feel for the city’s shopping addiction with a visit to the Causeway Bay shopping district or the electric night market at

temple Street.

Second only to the city’s skyline on the list of attractions are Hong Kong’s restaurants. This is a city that marches on its stomach and most meals by most people are eaten restaurants – which means plenty of selection.

Until the 90’s, this ghost island was home to a thriving population of catholic farmers and fishermen. Completely abandoned as residents looked for a brighter, better life in the big smoke, the island’s one village is now scattered with the remnants of a life lost with empty houses still carpeted in forgotten furniture, broken bookshelves and other household goods. It’s a fascinating place to explore and it’s only becoming more interesting as an increasing number of residents return at weekends to their former homes.
