Hong Kong - A booming harbour metropolis

Hong Kong, a booming harbour metropolis, houses high end boutiques, fine dining restaurants and a trendy up and coming arts scene alongside ancient Buddhist temples, street side eateries and bustling markets. Brightsun Travel offers cheap holidays to Hong Kong, including stopovers and city breaks. You could start your visit to Hong Kong by gazing at its impressive skyline, either by taking the Peak Tram to the top of Victoria Peak, or visiting the observation deck of the impressive Bank of China Tower. Then it's time to shop. From high end boutiques on lesser known Star Street to the famous Temple Street Night Market, Hong Kong is a shopaholic’s dream. New to Hong Kong’s shopping scene is PMQ, a 1950’s housing complex, the Police Married Quarters, recently transformed into a hub for independent designers. Then there's the antique shops along Hollywood Road that would serve both as shop and a museum. If it's shopping you are after, Hong Kong could keep you entertained for days, if not weeks. And Brightsun Travel has some fantastic holidays to Hong Kong to place you at the heart of this bustling, fashion-conscious harbour.  

But Hong Kong is more than just shopping, offering amazing food, a vibrant arts scene and ancient ways of life. Hong Kong is a place where you can eat dim sum in traditional Chinese tea houses, take British high tea at 19th century hotels, such as the Langham, and visit contemporary craft breweries, all in one afternoon. On the arts scene, Hong Kong is quickly turning old warehouses into contemporary galleries, such as those in Wong Chuk Hang, and old shopping hubs like Cat Street now house exciting new art spaces. When you have had your fix of shopping, eating and gallery hopping, Hong Kong has a range of places to get away from it all. A trip to Lantau Island would take you to traditional fishing villages, whilst Repulse Bay and Lamma Island offer some of the best beaches in Hong Kong. In the city itself there are walking trails, wetland parks and geoparks for hiking, birdwatching and gazing at ancient rock formations, whilst in peaceful Kowloon Park you can practice tai chi with the locals. For a small place, Hong Kong is vast, and Brightsun Travel has a range of exclusive holidays to Hong Kong to help you make the most of it.
