Stay in our Hong Kong Island hotels and be in the heart of the city. No visit to Hong Kong Island is complete without a trip on the Peak Tram up to Victoria Peak. Victoria Peak is the highest mountain on Hong Kong Island, standing 552m above sea level. The newly constructed Peak Tower is a great place to appreciate the 360 degree views of the Island.
While you are on the Island, be sure to stroll along the Central Promenade and take in scenic views of Victoria Harbour, the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, Central Plaza and the Star Ferry Piers. Also not to be missed is Man Mo Temple, the Island's oldest temple built in the 1840s, it is located on Hollywood Road. For a little free fun why not try out the world's longest outdoor escalator which runs Central to Soho and further up to the mid-level residential developments.
While staying in our Hong Kong Island hotels, the Aberdeen district should not be missed. Visit Aberdeen Harbour and see the amazing juxtaposition between the modern and the traditional – as residential high-rises cover the hillsides, hundreds of people live on traditional fishing junks in the Harbour. Also in the area is Ocean Park, a popular theme park which covers 80 hectares and features thrill rides, an aquarium, giant pandas and displays on their marine conservation programs.
If you want to experience the local nightlife, while staying in our Hong Kong Island hotels, head to the Lan Kwai Fong district, which offers an array of Western-style restaurants, bars and nightclubs.
Hong Kong Island is a shopper's paradise offering numerous boutiques, malls and markets.

Causeway Bay also offers numerous shops in the World Trade Centre and Times Square. Cat Street, in the Western District, contains stalls selling souvenirs, Buddha statues and Mao memorabilia and you will find traditional Chinese food and household items on Chun Yeung Street, North Point.
