The ultimate 12-hour layover in Hong Kong

  • Written by NewBase Content
The Ultimate 12-hour Layover in Hong Kong

With its super-efficient transportation and endless things to do, Hong Kong makes for the perfect layover. Maximise your time with our itinerary, covering must-visit spots as well as where to savour some of the delicious food our city is famed for. Enjoy dim sum at a traditional teahouse, take in views from the peak, ride the star ferry, pose with Bruce Lee, learn about Hong Kong’s past, pick up some souvenirs and try popular street food and local restaurants.


Luk Yu Teahouse

Morning

Fly in and drop your bags at the luggage storage before hopping on the Airport Express to Central — you’ll be there in less than 30 minutes! Get a good start to the day with a delicious dim sum breakfast. Head to either Luk Yu Teahouse for old-world charm or Lin Heung Tea Room for a more working class experience.

 

Peak Tram

Now it’s time to explore the city, starting with a walk to Central’s Peak Tram terminus to hop on the century-old Peak Tram and scale steep inclines as the tramcar climbs high above the city. Take in stunning views at The Peak— Hong Kong Island’s highest point — before having a nosey in Peak Galleria.

Star Ferry

Afternoon

Descend back down to Central and refuel with lunch at Sing Kee to experience the humble dai pai dong (outdoor restaurant). After lunch, ride the Star Ferry to enjoy skyline views as you make your way across the harbour to Kowloon. Disembark and stroll down Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, taking in the Clock Tower and posing with Bruce Lee’s statue at the Avenue of Stars.

Temple Street and Ladies’ Market

Visit the The Hong Kong Museum of History to explore Hong Kong’s past, from early cave dwellings through to fishing villages and colonial growth. Afterwards, head to Yau Ma Tei, where Temple Street Night Market and Ladies' Market sell every kind of souvenir from ‘I love Hong Kong’ t-shirts to knock-offs and vintage trinkets.

 

Mido Cafe

Evening

Grab a quick dinner of street snacks at Dundas Street, ranging from Hong Kong classics to favourites from across Asia, or sit down to a simple dish at Mido Cafe, a humble cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style diner) that feels like something out of a vintage Hong Kong movie. Connect from the MTR to the Airport Express and arrive back at the airport for your flight out.
