One of Asia's greatest cities, under £400 return.
Hong Kong doesn't ease you in. The skyline hits as you land, the city operates at its own relentless pace, and nowhere else looks or feels quite like it. Right now, you can be there from London for £353 return.

💰 How far does your money go?
Hong Kong has a reputation for expense, but that depends entirely on where you eat. A full bowl of wonton noodles from a local shop costs around £4. Dim sum for two, done properly, comes in under £20. A cold local beer is about £5.50. The city gets expensive when you start choosing hotel bars and rooftops, but at street level it is remarkably affordable.
☀️ The weather
September is hot and intense: 31°C during the day, with nights staying above 26°C. Humidity is high and typhoon season is still active, so some disruption is possible. January is the sharper choice. Temperatures sit at 18–20°C during the day, it is mostly dry and sunny, and cool evenings around 13°C make it genuinely pleasant. The northeast monsoon keeps humidity low. It is one of the best months to be in the city.
🏨 Where to stay
From reliable guesthouses to some of the finest hotels in Asia.
Bishop Lei International House - 8.0/10 - From £45/night
Mid-Levels location, walking distance from Soho and Lan Kwai Fong. Rooms are compact but well-maintained, and the staff are consistently praised.
Hotel ICON - 8.8/10 - From £120/night
Design hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui with harbour views and a rooftop pool. Punches comfortably above its price point.
Rosewood Hong Kong - 9.4/10 - From £600/night
Victoria Harbour views from almost every room. One of the best-reviewed hotels in Asia.
🎯 What to do
Hong Kong is compact, dense, and relentlessly interesting.
Victoria Peak - Take the Peak Tram up for the city's most iconic panoramic view. Better at night when the skyline lights up.
Temple Street Night Market - Kowloon's best street market. Go after 7pm when the food stalls get going.
Tian Tan Buddha, Lantau Island - One of the world's largest outdoor Buddha statues, reached by cable car across mountains and sea. A half-day well spent.
Dragon's Back Trail - A coastal hike with views of the South China Sea. One of the only places in Hong Kong where the city completely disappears.
🗺️ Where to go from here
Hong Kong is one of Asia's great hubs. Use it as a base.
Macau - 1 hour by ferry. Baroque Portuguese churches, Las Vegas-scale casinos, and the best egg tarts outside Lisbon.
Shenzhen - 30 minutes by high-speed train. China's most modern city, with a thriving arts scene and prices a fraction of Hong Kong's.
Guangzhou - 1 hour by high-speed rail. One of China's great food cities, with some of the best Cantonese cooking in the world.
Taipei - Around 90 minutes by flight. Night markets, mountains, hot springs, and one of Asia's most underrated food scenes.
Hong Kong for under £400 return from London does not come around often. The January dates in particular are exceptional value.
