Lucky 8
This month’s lucky 8 travelling tips come from Lauren Whicker, Marketing Manager at Skimax Holidays who is pictured on the right at The Peak in Hong Kong.
1.'When in Hong Kong...'- what is your must-do local experience? 
Markets, markets, markets! There are so many markets around the city, even though they all sell similar merchandise they all offer a different experience.
The Temple Street night market is a must! It is chaotic, crazy but oh so fun! The food stalls are delicious and the seafood we had was some of the best I ate while in Hong Kong.

Where to stay in Hong Kong
A summary of Hong Kong's accommodation areas
We often get asked the question of which side of the harbour to stay- Kowloon or Hong Kong Island. The answer is- it doesn’t matter! Hong Kong is a very compact and accessible city with an extremely efficient public transport system making it very easy to get around.
 
 
 
Island Walks App
If your clients are looking for a unique experience in Hong Kong, why not suggest an outlying island. Hong Kong has more than 260 outlying islands with sleepy temples, rustic villages, quirky festivals and rugged coastlines that show a very different side to this exciting city.

I have a family visiting Hong Kong in April this year and they want to go to Disneyland for a day. What is the best way for them to get there- taxi or train?
