Best Things to Do in Hong Kong 2025: Dim Sum, Skyline & Hiking Trails

Hong Kong is one of Asia's most spectacular cities — a vertical metropolis where dramatic skyscrapers rise from harbour waters against a backdrop of green hills, and where the world's greatest dim sum tradition coexists with street markets selling dried seafood, night markets on Temple Street, and hiking trails through country parks that cover 40% of the territory. Victoria Peak, the Star Ferry, and the Temple Street Night Market are all essential, but the real Hong Kong reveals itself in the dim sum restaurants of Sham Shui Po and the hiking trails of the New Territories.
