Japan meets Hong Kong: Konbini, karaoke and kung fu!

Hong Kong’s calling, and you're ready to answer! You're all prepped – on the plane, playlist on point, snacks in your lap. And inside, you’re feeling totally hyped! There's only one thing on your mind: tomorrow, you'll really be walking through this crazy city. Neon lights, street food, bustling markets and a mix of traditional and futuristic vibes await. You close your eyes for a moment and daydream, and moments later, it finally becomes reality!

Green hills flow smoothly into the turquoise sea, and small islands dot the scene like something out of a Ghibli film. In the middle of it all, Hong Kong twinkles like a glittering cape over the coast. With the epic skyline, neon lights and futuristic vibes, you feel like you're in a cyberpunk dream! It already wows you from above, and before you know it, you're right in the middle of it. What an absolute overload (in the best way possible)! You stroll through the next-level streets, past old tea shops next to stylish bubble tea spots, colourful markets and street food stalls giving off aromas that instantly make your stomach rumble. And after quickly dropping off your bags at your next accommodation, you soon head out again – no matter what your watch says. This city never sleeps, after all! 'Hong Kong, let's vibe!'

A little tip: Get the Octopus card directly at the airport (optional, payable on site). This allows you to easily move around the city on public transport.

Time for a deep dive into Hong Kong Island! On a leisurely stroll through the ‘Central’ district, you pass by colourful street art that transforms entire houses into the most beautiful Insta motifs. The 2,625-foot-long Central-Mid-Levels Escalators – the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world – take you to the stop for the Peak Tram, which carries you up to the Peak Tower (optional, bookable online in advance). From Sky Terrace 428 (also optional), you have a fantastic view of the city skyline, and should you want to go even higher, you can climb up to Victoria Peak and enjoy the ultimate view of the harbour and skyline. And if that's not enough, you can take a hike and check out the top-tier view from Braemar Hill. Afterwards, it's time to experience some cinematic history in person. Next stop: the Avenue of Stars, where martial arts legends Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan have been immortalised. Soak up the kung fu vibes, snap a selfie with Bruce Lee's iconic statue and enjoy the view of Hong Kong Island's gleaming facades. Next-level city vibes: check!

Need a little break from the concrete jungle? Then head to Lantau! Hong Kong's largest island isn't just a green refuge but also home to the second-largest seated Buddha in the world. And remember, in true Far Eastern tradition, the journey is just as important as the destination, so hop into the glass-bottomed Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car and journey to your destination with a thrilling bird's-eye view (optional, payable on site)! Slowly glide over the dense canopy of leaves and let your gaze sweep across the rolling mountain ranges as the majestic statue of the Tian Tan Buddha grows bigger and bigger before your astonished eyes. Got the snapshot you wanted? Then it's off to the harbour or one of the many rooftop bars! At around 8 pm, you can watch a spectacular light and laser show. Decorated with countless lights, the facades of over 40 skyscrapers light up in a variety of colours at the touch of a button. Keep your camera ready so you can show this spectacle to your loved ones at home!
