Places and experiences woven into a route with a rhythm. Follow one as written, or hand it to the concierge as a starting point for something entirely your own.
A perfect, unhurried introduction
The essential first day and a half: the Star Ferry at dusk, dim sum the next morning, the Peak before the crowds, an afternoon in the lanes of Sheung Wan, and the Temple Street night market to finish. Everything in the right order, nothing rushed.

The city the films remember
Hand-bent neon, trolley-service tea houses, mahjong parlours, and clay-pot rice on a folding table. A route through the corners of Kowloon and Wan Chai that still feel like 1960s Hong Kong, before they are gone.

A morning of tea and small plates
Three tea houses, one morning: the etiquette of yum cha, the baskets worth crossing town for, and the difference between a corner shop and a three-star kitchen, told through har gow and char siu bao.

Where to be as the sun drops and the towers ignite: the Peak's quiet side, the Kowloon waterfront for the Symphony of Lights, a Kennedy Town rooftop, and the Sai Wan swimming shed jetty. A photographer's itinerary.

The 40 percent that is country park
The Hong Kong of green hills and empty beaches: a junk to the Sai Kung islands, the Dragon's Back ridge, a stilt village on Lantau, and the geopark's volcanic cliffs. Proof that the towers are only half the story.

When the typhoon signal is up
A city built for weather: the calm of Chi Lin Nunnery, the galleries of Tai Kwun and M+, a long afternoon tea, a wet-market cooked-food centre, and a bowl of tong sui to end. Some of the best days are the grey ones.
