Highlights
- Walk the walk on the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China (one of the Seven Wonders of the World), watching the stones snake as far as the eye can see. If you’d like, you can even toboggan back down!
- Take a scenic cycling tour through farms and villages in Yangshuo’s karst-dotted countryside. Every turn in the road brings you to another postcard-perfect spot before riding to Moon Hill and taking a short hike that leads to panoramic views of the area.
- Watch rolly polly baby pandas playing, munching bamboo and generally doing their thing at the Panda Breeding Centre in Chengdu – if they’re not already, pandas might just be your favourite animal after this.

Hong Kong Tour Selection Trips
- The MTR subway system runs throughout the city. Get an Octopus card, which can be topped up, used for each journey, then returned.
- A visit to the computer district is a great chance to stock up on good value electronics.
- Hong Kong is far more expensive than mainland China, and visitors crossing from one to another may find it a shock to their budget.
- English is widely spoken in Hong Kong, and visitors should have no problem being understood. However, if you are on a guided tour this shouldn’t be a problem at all.
- Hong Kong is built on steep slopes, and it boasts the world's longest escalator system, which runs down in the morning, up after 10am, and stops at midnight.
- Hong Kong is a “3D city”. Don't just stick to ground floors; galleries, shops, restaurants, bars and more can be found throughout each building, especially the massive malls, so remember to look up!
- Hong Kong has a fascinating and controversial past, as well as a complicated relationship with its colonial identity. If this interests you, make you sure you go on a cultural or history tour of the city.
- This city is considered one of the best -- if not THE best -- food destinations in the world. What comes along with that are plenty of ways to get out of your culinary comfort zone. If you want to make sure you don’t miss any of Hong Kong’s delicious and exotic delicacies, think about taking a group tour food of the city.

5 Hong Kong Travel Tips
- Hong Kong is a rainy city, so carry a small plastic poncho with you. It will take up much less space than a bulky umbrella, and you’ll be thankful if there’s a shower!
- $1 US is equal to $8 HK.
- If you visit during the summer and need a break or a spot to cool down, you are better off finding one of the city’s many tea shops to visit instead of a traditional café. Try ordering one of their carbonated drinks with preserved fruit, it’s refreshing and very tasty.
- The best place to take a photo of the Hong Kong Skyline is from the Kowloon side, particularly off Victoria Harbour.
- Get a suit made. Hong Kong’s tailors are famous for being able to create a completely custom suit in just a short period of time, and for a very low cost. Getting a suit will be a memorable (and practical) souvenir!
Do I need a visa to visit Hong Kong?
To visit Hong Kong (from the United States) you do not need a tourist visa unless you plan to stay over 90 days. If you are from outside of the U.S., chances are you still do not need a visa -- over 170 countries are permitted to send their citizens to Hong Kong without a visa.
The Best Time to Travel & Weather in Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s climate is drastically different depending on the season. Technically described as a “subtropical climate with monsoon influences,” Hong Kong’s winters are dry and its summers notoriously boggy and wet.
In the summer (May until September), temperatures frequently rise into the 90’s (Fahrenheit), and monsoons strike without warning. If you plan to make trips outside of the city to visit some natural and beach destinations, however, this may be the best time for you.
The autumn and winter are the best times to visit the city, generally between October - December, when the temperatures are still pleasant -- sunny and usually in the low 60’s with some warmer days, it doesn’t snow in Hong Kong! -- and you can experience the incredible Chinese New Year festivities.
Japan and Hong Kong Tours
Most travelers find Hong Kong, a city with international origins, a complex identity, and indescribable feel, well complimented with other cities on a broader tour of Asia. One of the most popular combinations is Hong Kong and Japan, although other trips of Hong Kong also make stops in Vietnam, Thailand, and Taiwan.
Depending on which countries you visit, your guided tour of Hong Kong may have a totally different feel. Taiwan is a great example of this. Taiwan's own unique status as the previous capital of China, as an island nation, and its sometimes convoluted role as an independent country or a part of China, may focus your attention on specific historical and cultural elements of modern day Hong Kong, and its colonial past. If this is something that piques your interest, maybe consider going on a history-focused tour of Hong Kong!
