Boat Tours – Hong Kong

Experience Boat Tours in Hong Kong

Top things to do: Hong Kong is a city that’ll constantly keep you on your toes. There’s never a dull moment. There’s Ocean Park and Hong Kong Disneyland the theme parks. Sky 100 Tower for the views, and the unique experiences such as fan painting. Add in the shopping and the street vibes, and you’ve got Hong Kong covered.

Best Time to visit: To make the most of Hong Kong you really need to visit during the late autumn and early winter, so late September to late December. Why? Well, the weather is great, temperatures are still high enough to be comfortable. Hong Kong is really a year-round destination, so it just depends on what kind of weather you prefer.

Top tips: It may seem obvious, but make sure you can use chopsticks. Hong Kong is home to around 10,000 restaurants and many more food stalls. Most of which are speciality dishes and will require chopsticks. Perhaps some practice before you leave will help. Also, make sure you don’t stick the chopsticks in the rice or leave them standing up. It resembles the ritual of incense burning at funerals.

• Victoria Harbour is around 43m deep, with an average depth of 12.2m. That’s why you can see the large ships in the harbour as they can navigate.

• Want to rest from walking? Then you could always take the world’s longest covered escalator. The mid-level ones run for about half a mile!

• You may well take the Star Ferry which heads across from Victoria harbour to Kowloon. They began running back in 1880 and it took nearly an hour to cross originally. Now it’s about 10 minutes!
