The Hong Kong attractions worth your time — Victoria Peak, the Big Buddha, Disneyland, Ocean Park and the harbour skyline, with how to visit each one.
Hong Kong packs an astonishing range of sights into a small space: a world-famous skyline, a giant seated Buddha on a misty mountain, two full-size theme parks, and a tram that climbs to one of the best city views on earth. This page rounds up the attractions worth your time, with a practical guide to each so you know how to get there, what it costs, and whether it lives up to the hype.
Start high. The Peak Tram up to Victoria Peak is the signature Hong Kong view, and the harbour skyline behind it is the city's calling card. For a different angle, the Aqua Luna red-sail junk takes it in from the water. Short on time? Our round-up of the top attractions in Hong Kong ranks the essentials.
The Tian Tan Big Buddha on Lantau Island is a half-day trip that feels a world away from the city. Read how to get to the Big Buddha, take the Ngong Ping 360 cable car up the mountain, and check the dress code before you visit.
Hong Kong has two big hitters. We cover whether Hong Kong Disneyland is worth it and the best of the Disneyland rides, plus an honest look at whether Ocean Park is worth the ticket.
Most of these sights are an easy hop apart on public transport, so sort an Octopus card first and skim getting around Hong Kong to link them into a smooth day. Every attraction guide is listed below.
