2 DAY HONG KONG ITINERARY

Day 1 – Hong Kong Island

Food is such an important aspect to understanding the city's culture and local life. To that, it doesn't get any better than the Michelin-star dim sum specialists, Tim Ho Wan in Central.

At first glance, it's probably confusing why this is even on the list but beyond being an essential artery that moves commuters in this part of the city, this elevated passage is the world's longest outdoor covered escalator system.

Food continues to be the theme and you'll start with another quintessential Hong Kong experience, the bustling Mong Kok.
