Best Attractions in Hong Kong (2026)

Hong Kong's sights are spread across both sides of Victoria Harbour and out to Lantau Island, so it pays to group them by area. On Hong Kong Island, Victoria Peak is the classic first stop, reached by the Peak Tram from Garden Road, and Hong Kong Park is right beside the lower terminus. Man Mo Temple on Hollywood Road is one of the oldest temples in the city and fits well into a morning walk around Sheung Wan and Central. Ocean Park, on the south side of the island, needs a full day of its own.

In Kowloon, M+ and the Hong Kong Palace Museum sit side by side in the West Kowloon Cultural District, and the Hong Kong Museum of Art is on the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. Check closing days before you go, as M+ closes on Mondays, the Palace Museum on Tuesdays and the Museum of Art on Thursdays. Wong Tai Sin Temple and Chi Lin Nunnery with Nan Lian Garden are in neighbouring districts and pair well in a morning. Allow most of a day for the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery on Lantau, ideally combined with the Ngong Ping 360 cable car. Choose clear days for the Peak and the Buddha, as low cloud can hide the views.
