Hong Kong is a vibrant and complicated city with an energy like no other place in the world. It is constantly changing, and the growing influence of mainland China on this former British colony makes it a particularly fascinating place to live. New restaurants, bars, and shops are almost constantly added to a long list of already-established attractions.
There are also plenty of things to see and do in Hong Kong, and it's easy for exploring expats to find English speakers who can help them on their way.
Recommended attractions in Hong Kong
Hong Kong Disneyland
Hong Kong Disneyland is a not-to-be-missed attraction that attracts millions of visitors a year, perfect for the whole family. Whether one is young in years or simply young at heart, there's plenty to entertain, from themed rides and restaurants to parades and photo ops with beloved Disney characters.
Hong Kong Museum of History
The Hong Kong Museum of History showcases the city’s natural, cultural and archaeological history. Expats can easily spend an afternoon here browsing the exhibitions of photographs, artefacts, traditional dress, and objects that will teach them more about their new home.
Aberdeen Harbour
Located on the southern shore of Hong Kong, Aberdeen seduces expats and locals alike with its culture of traditional boat dwellers. Take in the unusual sight of the harbour's traditional 'floating village' and pop into one of its floating restaurants for a freshly caught seafood lunch.
Victoria Peak
Expats taking a trip on The Peak Tram to the summit of Victoria Peak will see breathtaking views of the cityscape and Kowloon Bay unfold before their eyes – the ideal way to discover their new home and take in the chaotic beauty of it all. While up there, browse some of the summit shops housed in The Peak Tower, or enjoy a bite to eat at one of the restaurants overlooking the city.
Wong Tai Sin Temple
This Taoist Temple is one of Hong Kong’s most frequented temples and is dedicated to Wong Tai Sin, a legendary hermit who supposedly possessed healing powers and was a soothsayer of some renown. This temple usually sees people making elaborate offerings or visiting the local fortune-tellers.
