If your holiday time is limited to just a brief 3 days and 2 nights, then a summer food and shopping adventure in Hong Kong could very well be one of the top picks for a short trip this summer. Airfare and hotel costs aside, the actual time you get to enjoy Hong Kong is significantly more than in many other destinations. For starters, the flight from Taipei to Hong Kong takes only about two hours. Moreover, the local transportation system is incredibly convenient — just hop on the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) to get almost anywhere. A quick 40-minute ride on the Airport Express from Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok will take you straight to Kowloon Station in the city. From there, free shuttle buses can whisk you directly to your hotel’s doorstep (if you’re staying at the W Hotel, you can even go straight up to your room…). Then, you can dive into a packed itinerary. This level of convenience alone draws many tourists to visit Hong Kong, and when it’s time to head back, you still save precious time — simply check in and check your luggage at Kowloon Station on the MTR, continue your food and shopping spree in the city, and then just take the Airport Express back to the airport about two hours before your flight. Now, let’s follow the travel experts’ footsteps and embark on an amazing summer food and shopping journey in Hong Kong~ !

- Morning Itinerary 01: Harbor City (Click for attraction info)
Harbor City is Hong Kong’s largest shopping mall, featuring over 700 stores, including three department stores, 50 restaurants, and two cinemas — making it the perfect place for family-friendly leisure and shopping. The shopping area is roughly divided into four zones: Ocean Terminal (OT), Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel Mall (HH), Ocean Centre (OC), and Gateway Arcade (GW). Virtually every globally recognized brand can be found here, so much so that a joke among Hong Kong’s retail industry goes: if a brand hasn’t set foot in Harbor City yet, it probably hasn’t made a big enough splash in the market.
