Hi,

In this month’s edition, we take you right to the heart of what makes Hong Kong great – food! Indulge in the best that Hong Kong has to offer from gourmet tours to fine dining at Michelin Starred restaurants.

Don’t forget, the cooler climates make Hong Kong a great destination to go “wild” and explore the green side of the city. Outlying islands, cycling, beaches, hikes and more, Hong Kong will surprise you.

Best wishes,

The HKTB Team
