This non‑stop service cuts travel time to just under 3 hours, so you can maximize every minute of your trip. Here’s how I spent six days exploring Hong Kong last March 2025:

Day 1: Arrival, The Peak & Victoria Harbour

We arrived in the morning and checked in at Eaton HK, a stylish hotel in Jordan, Kowloon. It’s near MTR stations, which made getting around the city easier.

That same day, we visited two iconic spots:

Cityscape of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon seen from the Peak Tram summit at Victoria Peak — *A sweeping view of Hong Kong Island’s skyscrapers and Victoria Harbour at sunset, as seen from Victoria Peak*

Victoria Peak – Rode the Peak Tram to Sky Terrace 428 for panoramic skyline views.

Panoramic view of Victoria Harbour with ferries and Hong Kong Island skyline at dusk — *Victoria Harbour at dusk with Hong Kong Island’s skyline glowing in the background*

Victoria Harbour – Walked along the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade to enjoy the city lights and take night photos.

Day 2: Ngong Ping Cable Car & Village + Harbour Night Cruise

Day 5: Ocean Terminal Deck & Mong Kok

This was our chill day. We explored:
