What to do and see in Hong Kong, China: The Best Hop-On Hop-Off Tours

May 20, 2021 Etsuko Causey

Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

I love the Big Bus Company - my 'go to' place when I am in a strange city to get a feel for the place. We booked a 48 hour ticket which we got for a 50% seasonal reduction (watch out for promotions, they are worth having). There are three routes, there is one which takes you out to Stanley, Aberdeen Harbour, Repulse Bay, another one through the Financial District and another route through Kowloon.. There are a lot of stops to hop off to go for a walk. If you get off at Aberdeen Harbour, watch out for their sampan to take you round the harbour. We also had a free ticket to Sky 100, the tallest building in Hongkong. There were lots of freebies included, you are spoilt for choice: Sky 100 (you would pay app HK $ 180 for the ticket), two return tickets on the star ferry, reduced coffee in Starbucks near the Star Ferry, reduced entrance fees. It's a great way to experience HK at your own pace.

Kowloon Public Pier No.4 Ladder, Hong Kong, 尖沙咀梳士巴利道文化中心海傍 OceanGoGo Pub Victoria Harbour Cruise

There are simply no words to describe the views of stunning Victoria Harbour and the majestic Hong Kong skyline lit up at night. This wonderful panorama is best seen and experienced from the water and on board a luxurious yacht, the time when the buildings light up and create hues of orange and pink that paint the sky. Take a Victoria Harbour cruise aboard a luxury yacht with your significant other, family, or group of friends and for 45 minutes, enjoy the sparkling waves rippling over the most beautiful seaports in the world. Lie in a comfortable design chair, and enjoy beer + all-you-can-eat snacks. This is probably the most luxurious and best way to see the Hong Kong skyline. Besides, this package is included 1 free instant film for each guest. We hope Dreamer can capture the wonderful moment for you and your guest.

Inclusions: Snacks, Free Flow Soft Drinks and Beer, Professional Photography helper, Free Wifi, Instant Film (1 film for each guest)

We used the Macau Open Top Tour on a recent visit to Macau - it was a super orientation to the city and the route included a tour through the newly developed Casino-Hotel areas. The stops were well located, the time table was maintained and the narration by the on-bus guide was excellent (she was also very helpful). We were very pleased with the tour; and the price is most reasonable. Note that there are both day and night versions of the Open Top Tour - the day version (which we did) operates on 45 minute intervals starting at the hydrofoil terminal and allows you to make stops through out Macau.

We were given this as a present. Certainly glad we didn’t pay £100 each for 5 hours. Restaurant food was ordinary, Mumm champagne no better than Prosecco, unfriendly massage, poor cakes, no craft beer. WiFi was good and seats comfortable. Staff were mainly good.
