Combining with Other Transport

Tour buses complement Hong Kong's excellent public transport system. Use them for overview tours and hard-to-reach attractions, then explore specific areas more deeply using the MTR, trams, and ferries. Many visitors start with a tour bus to get oriented, then return independently to favorite locations.

For more detailed information about specific attractions reached by tour buses, visit our guides to Victoria Peak, Stanley Market, and other major Hong Kong Island attractions.

Food and dining

From the with everything from street foods in to Michelin Star dining just in the Central business district alone, and with fresh seafood in Aberdeen beside the harbour while Japanese snacks and foods are to be found in Causeway Bay, and of course Dim Sum everywhere, there is no one "Hong Kong island food" as such, but there are certainly highlights and things not to be missed.

Here then are some of those choices, from the well known to the obscure, from 5 star hotels to off the beaten track delights, try some of these then strike out on your own and try something you haven't tried before!
