Throbbing, 24 hour Hong Kong is an eastern gem. With 7 million inhabitants filling its teeming streets, it has a buzz that never sleeps. Shopping, eating, drinking, sightseeing – and a truly dazzling night-time skyline make this destination truly unforgettable – whether you’re up in the heights or down at ground level.

Must See:
Shop and then drop – the legendary Kowloon Night Market is the place to come to quell a late-night craving for a bargain.

Must eat at:
For an ancient taste of Cantonese served the traditional way, head to the Luk Yu Tea House on Stanley Street in Central for traditional dim sum in authentic surroundings.

Must be there for:
No-one does Dragon Boat racing quite like the Hong Kongese, and if you’re lucky enough to visit the islands in June, you’ll witness a festival of big boats, insane races and intense competition.

Well-travelled tips:
· Don’t peak too soon... as a treat on your last night in Hong Kong, head to Victoria Peak for magnificent views and top-notch dining.
· Some of Hong Kong’s cheapest and most varied street shopping is to be had on Stanley Market – but you’ll need sharp elbows and quick wits to compete!

Visa:
British citizens visiting Hong Kong as tourists for less than six months do not ordinarily need an entry visa, subject to a small number of conditions.
