Hong Kong: City of Style

The fascinating destination behind the glittering façade

The famous Hong Kong skyline looks like a scene from a science fiction movie
- futuristic, vibrant and full of energy.

Between the famous skyline and tranquil waterways, Hong Kong inspires with a mix of world-class gastronomy, a lively cultural scene and a surprising amount of nature. The city has long been regarded as the culinary center of Asia. More than 15,000 restaurants - from street stalls to Michelin-starred cuisine - make the metropolis a hotspot for foodies. Those who love authentic cuisine will find what they are looking for in the Dai Pai Dongs and Cha Chaan Tengs, where classics such as dim sum, egg tarts and pineapple buns are served. Gourmets can look forward to 76 MICHELIN restaurants - including seven that have been awarded three stars. Countless rooftop bars are among the highlights for anyone who wants to experience drinks and good food above the rooftops. In the "Ozone" bar
on the 118th floor of the ICC building, you can enjoy the skyline with a glass of world-class wine. Salisterra" in The Upper House, "Aqua" with its fusion of Italian and Japanese cuisine or the "Eyebar" with a view over Kowloon also offer exceptional evenings at lofty heights. A special event is the "Wine & Dine Festival", which takes place on the Central Harbourfront from October 23-26, 2025. For four days, the focus will be on international wines, local specialties and culinary creativity.
creativity - perfect for sampling Hong Kong's diversity of flavors. The metropolis also sets cultural standards: in the West Kowloon Cultural District, architecture, museums and the performing arts come together effortlessly. Tai Kwun, the former police headquarters in the heart of Central, has been fantastically restored and today combines art exhibitions, music performances and gastronomy in historic buildings. Shopping and culture also merge at PMQ - a former residential complex that is now home to designer stores, galleries and pop-up stores. A visit to the innovative K11 Musea is a must for anyone who wants to combine shopping with an art experience. Interactive art installations, impressive architecture and exclusive boutiques make the center a vibrant meeting place.
center into a vibrant meeting place

Despite its urban density, the city offers an astonishing number of opportunities to escape into nature. An incredible 70% of Hong Kong is green. Hiking trails such as the Dragon's Back, hidden beaches or the lush green Lantau Island with the Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery invite you to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday city life behind. A ride on the Ngong Ping cable car offers a fantastic view from above and access to spiritual power spots. Hong Kong is particularly atmospheric in autumn: at the "Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance", for example, a glowing, 67-metre-long dragon parades through the narrow streets - a centuries-old tradition. And during the evening "Symphony of Lights", a light and sound show around Victoria Harbour, the city shows its magical side. One of the most charming means of transportation is the "Ding Ding", the historic double-decker streetcar that moves leisurely through Hong Kong Island. A ride on the Star Ferry at sunset is something for romantics, the view of the skyline is unforgettable. For technology enthusiasts, a visit to the City Gallery is recommended - here you can learn all about visionary urban planning and architectural development. The Old Town Central district stands for creative zeitgeist within historic walls - with small galleries, street art, hidden bars and charming restaurants. In the working-class district of Sham Shui Po, on the other hand, design lovers and street food fans will find everything their heart desires. Whether street markets, local snacks such as bubble waffles or handmade fashion accessories, the authentic life of the city pulsates here.
