"Hong Kong is one of the most diverse destinations in the world, with something to do for everyone. If you're a culture vulture, a shopper or you just want to relax by a luxury pool, Hong Kong has all these things!
"A must-see whilst visiting is Victoria Peaks, where you can relax drinking a chilled glass of wine whilst looking down over the whole city. A short boat ride away (or Ngong Ping cable car for the more daring) is Langtau island, where you can take the kids to Disneyland or visit the Ngong Ping village with the awe inspiring Giant Buddha statue.
"A final must to do in Hong Kong is the evening harbour cruise followed by dinner at Felix, which is the restaurant on the top floor of the Peninsular Hotel. Dinner here speaks for itself!"
Holiday insurance for Hong Kong
Holiday insurance when travelling to Hong Kong
Illness, accidents, mishaps and misadventures can happen to even the best of us at any time. Worst of all is when something goes wrong when you're on holiday, nobody wants to be left stranded thousands of miles from home. That's what our holiday insurance is for, to help you in your time of need and to just give peace of mind when you travel.
With Holiday Extras holiday insurance all under-18s go FREE, which makes us a fantastic choice for families travelling to Hong Kong. Our policies are flexible, allowing you to make any changes you need and we'll also let you choose from single trip cover or an annual policy.
We provide end supplier failure cover with scheduled airline cover. What this means in simple English is that you'll have complete protection if any part of your holiday, including your hotel and airline, goes out of business before or during your time away.
On top of this we also run a UK-based call centre along with a 24-hour emergency helpline and we'll give you a 14-day money back guarantee, so if you decide the policy isn't for you we'll give you a full refund.
