Sail across Hong Kong harbour on a Junk (or not)
Once a mainstay of Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour, Chinese Junks have been used for fishing, trade and war since at least the second century. The Aqua Luna is one of the few remaining Junks in the world and sails most evenings on 45-minute cruises from Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. Or, just settle for the less-romantic option and board one of the many ferries that make their way around the harbour each day.
Climb to the top of Victoria Peak (or just take the tram)
For the best view of the city, look no further than Victoria Peak. At 552 metres above sea level, it's the highest hill on Hong Kong island. From Central Station, it's approximately a 4km treck to the top but for those looking for a less active approach, the Peak Tram - which has been running for over 130 years - takes less than ten minutes.

Order Dim Sum like a local
