Enjoy a Symphony of Lights

Board a nighttime ferry boat at Victoria Harbour for a ride across the port of Hong Kong, where a stunning lightshow will amaze you. Laser lights dance across the skyline from the city’s tallest skyscrapers while synced up with music, similar to light shows in Singapore and other metropolitan destinations. You’re sure to be wowed by this dramatic spectacle.

Where should I eat in Hong Kong?

Foodies will find paradise in Hong Kong, where there is no shortage of restaurants and types of cuisine to choose from. Here are a few spots you might try before you board a cruise from Hong Kong:

Neighborhood
61-63 Hollywood Rd
Consistently rated one of the best restaurants in Hong Kong, it’s best to book a dinner at Neighborhood a few weeks in advance. It’s an intimate space that utilizes high-quality ingredients for deceptively simple dishes like octopus ragu and handmade pasta. Neighborhood blends Cantonese flavors with experimental presentation. The menu changes weekly, so your meal is sure to be memorable.

Mak’s Noodle
77 Wellington Street, Central Hong Kong
Craving traditional Cantonese wonton noodles? Head to the Michelin-rated Mak’s Noodles, where you can tuck in to your heart’s content.

Tim Ho Wan
9-11 Fuk Wing St.
Sham Shui Po
There are plenty of options for dim sum in Hong Kong, but Tim Ho Wan’s is one of the most budget-friendly, and classy dim sum joints you’ll come across. Locals and visitors flock to Tim Ho Wan’s every day. Try the barbeque pork buns or enjoy the har gow (steamed shrimp dumplings). For vegetarians, the steamed vegetarian dumplings and the steamed egg cake are great options.

RyuGin
ICC Building
Dinner and a skyline view of the harbor of West Kowloon is a standard evening at the luxe RyuGin in Hong Kong, located on the 101st floor of the International Commerce Centre (ICC) building. The food is traditionally Japanese and includes a ten-course, seasonal Kaiseki menu for the freshest possible experience.

Fineprint
38 Peel Street
When you need a coffee break or a small bite, Fineprint is an Australian-run cafe where you can buy an egg sandwich, avocado toast, or a pastry and a cappuccino. It’s different from the traditional Cantonese fare in the area, providing a quick break from exploring the city. At night, they serve wine, spirits, and a limited evening menu.
