Build the trip around what you love. Then let your hotel, routes and budget support it.

Start with Hong Kong. Add Macao or mainland China if you have the time and the right entry papers.

You’ll find extra help for Indian passport holders, plant-based diets, families and a slower pace.

Updated 21 October 2026. All guide prices use US dollars (USD). Key fares also show HKD, the money you’ll spend on the ground.

Use the sample budgets to plan. Check live hotel rates, ticket dates and opening hours through the links in each chapter.

A great first trip: five full days, a base near the MTR, and one main outing each day. Stay in TST/Jordan or Sheung Wan/Wan Chai. Save a clear day for the Peak or Lantau, and pick one theme park unless parks are your main goal.
