A great stopover on the journey to Australia, Hong Kong is the shopping capital of the Far East and has many worthwhile sights to see.

On a 2-3 night stop-over you will have time to visit the city including taking a trip up to Victoria Peak for stunning views of the harbour and visit one of the many attractions such as Disneyland, Ocean Park or the newer Ngong Ping.

Ocean Park is situated by the harbour and features Giant Pandas, a dophinarium, a film simulator ride and ‘Middle Kingdom’, an area of 10,000 square metres where you can watch the history of China unfold before you.

On a warm Hong Kong evening there is nothing better than watching the spectacular ‘Symphony of Lights’ laser show on the harbour from a ship on the water. We love the Salisbury YMCA for it’s great location, good value rooms and amazing views from the top floor restaurant!
