Day One
Arrive and check into one of Hong Kong's fine hotels. Freshen up before taking a stroll along the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade to take in the Hong Kong skyline. If you are staying on Hong Kong Island, take the historic Star Ferry across bustling Victoria Harbour. You can return by the same means later. Reach the promenade as the sun sets and watch as the skyscrapers reflect the day's last rays. Finish your evening by dining in Knutsford Terrace, an international dining oasis in the neon-lit Tsim Sha Tsui shopping district. |

Day Two
Take the funicular Peak Tram to Victoria Peak. The area offers some of the best sightseeing in Asia, as well as wonderful photographic opportunities. Stop for lunch at one of the delightful restaurants here before heading for picturesque Stanley on the south side of the island. The scenic setting and Mediterranean ambience are ideal for a relaxed drink before dinner. |

Day Three
Spend the morning exploring the leafy Hong Kong Zoological and Botanical Gardens and the Flagstaff House Museum of Tea Ware. Surrounded by glittering skyscrapers of glass and steel, it is a tranquil oasis in the very heart of the city. In the afternoon, Hong Kong's outlying islands beckon. A comfortable ferry will whisk you there to dine on delicious and fresh seafood. |
