Hong Kong

From ancient temples to chic rooftop bars and skyscrapers to sunset hikes, Hong Kong is what other cities want to be when they grow up. Let’s start with the iconic skyline, which makes the perfect backdrop to the vibrant red sails of traditional junk boats bobbing in Victoria Harbor. And then there’s Old Town Central, a vibrant neighborhood packed with historic monuments right alongside colorful graffiti art, and cool shops and restaurants. Get out of the hustle and bustle for a hike at Sunset Peak, Hong Kong’s third highest mountain. Or head to nearby Lantau Island, where you can take a glass-bottomed cable car up to see the famous bronze Big Buddha and neighboring Po Lin Monastery.
