5 days in Hong Kong
Hong Kong compresses mountains, islands and one of the world's great food cities into a metro map. This route alternates skyline days with island days, and never skips a meal that matters.
Day 1
Central, the Peak and the first skyline
Ride the Mid-Levels escalators up through Central, take the Peak Tram before 10am, and walk the Lugard Road loop for the classic harbour view. Dim sum lunch, then ferry across at dusk.

Kowloon — markets and neon
Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui, the Museum of Art, then north through the Ladies' Market and Temple Street Night Market as it lights up. Symphony of Lights from the TST promenade at 8pm.

Lantau — the Big Buddha and Tai O
Ngong Ping 360 cable car (book the crystal cabin) to the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery's vegetarian kitchen, then bus to Tai O fishing village and its stilt houses before heading back.

Sai Kung — the Hong Kong nobody expects
Minibus to Sai Kung town, boat or hike into the Geopark's volcanic coast, seafood lunch picked from the tanks on the pier. The beaches here out-blue anything on the tourist map.

Sheung Wan, tea and last bites
Man Mo Temple's incense coils, antiques on Hollywood Road, a proper tea house session, egg tarts from a Bakehouse queue worth joining, and a final michelin-cheap wonton noodle bowl.
