Places to See
While guidebooks can recommend places worth visiting throughout the city, there are only a few places that can be called distinct to Hong Kong itself. Far from just being a center of commerce, Hong Kong has an assortment of high-end places that are worth the visit.

Central
The beating heart of business and commerce on Hong Kong Island, Central is also home to luxurious hotels, restaurants, and other heightened experiences. Come in for the elegant power lunches and speakeasy cocktails, stay for the qi-balancing spa treatments and bespoke fitness programs.

Tsim Sha Tsui

Be sure to stop by the Avenue of the Stars, where Hong Kong’s cinematic idols make their individual marks.

Victoria Peak
One of the highest points in Hong Kong Island boasts of an unforgettable view that goes all the way into Kowloon and beyond. It’s as picturesque during the daytime as it is at night, where visitors flock to take their best shots of the Hong Kong skyline.

Victoria Harbor
Regardless of where they are in Hong Kong, every hotel worthy of the “luxury” designation has rooms that face Victoria Harbor, with a view of either Kowloon or Hong Kong Island on the other side. It has been said that the mere sight of the water from the harbor balances the energies in the body, but seeing the city lights twinkle at night makes the view worth it.

Temples
Hong Kong is home to many Buddhist and Confucian temples, including the Big Buddha on Lantau Island. Some private tours include additional experiences such as feng shui lessons.
