3 . Fun Seekers

These are the travellers who would dedicate a day or two to the finest and biggest playgrounds in Asia at Disneyland Hong Kong and Ocean Park. Their ideal itinerary is taking the weekend off to pop in over to the Happiest Place on Earth in Hong Kong. Spend the day riding the rollercoasters, meeting Mickey Mouse and filling their bellies with Disney-themed dishes - a great story for the colleagues on Monday when they ask how was your weekedn.

Alternatively, if the weather is on the rainy side, Hong Kong is also home to the first Madame Tussauds in Asia, located at the ever popular Peak. Go crazy taking photos with over 100 lifelike wax figures of local and international icons such as Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee. Either way, both spots make for great travel tales.

If this is you, then this might be the ideal travel deal for you: 4D Hong Kong + Disneyland Buy 2 Free 2. However do keep checking back here for the latest update to find out if Disneyland Hong Kong is open due to the current ongoing covid situation.

4. Outdoorsy

The ones who adore pristine lakes, gorgeous mountain ranges, majestic oceans and wander along trails, you will be in for a treat when in Hong Kong. Its urban city is remarkably close to the great outdoors, making it easily accessible for hikers and cyclists. Gaze back at the city skyline seen from the mountains; listen to waves crashing on remote beaches; visit shorelines where you can touch rocks that bear the scars of a volcanic past - Hong Kong's countryside is key to the city’s appeal.

In fact, the Hong Kong Tourism Board has released its own hiking and cycling guide to help travellers plan for their outdoor adventures here.

5. Off the Beaten Trail Explorers

Thanks to the internet and social media, our world has only become a small and easier place to find. But that will not deter these travellers who are always ready to speak to the locals for the city's hidden gems. Fortunately they will find many small villages and town to visit on more than 260 islands.

Tucked away up in the New Territories, Tai Long Wan draws the most adventurous sun-seekers to its pristine shores. In the downtown part of the Hong Kong, 40% of the area is dedicated to nature reserves and country parks that best explored by bicycle. A popular route is from Tai Wai to Tai Mei Tuk, a leisurely 12-mile ride that passes temples, parks, and harbor views along the way. How's that for off the beaten path?

Get the Ngong Ping Tai O Explorer Pass for hassle free access to what is known as the "Venice of the Orient."

6. Art and culture Lovers

Those who seek the quieter, more nostalgic part of a new city can find it everywhere in Hong Kong - in the museums, galleries, streets and even in the lifestyle of the people. A mesh of Eastern and Western cultures, Hong Kong is a thriving arts and cultural hub. All year around, the city offers an exciting cultural calendar consisting of Chinese and Western orchestras, jazz ensembles, film and arts festivals, international acts and local super stars.
