Hong Kong
Hong Kong: A City of Skylines and Dim Sum
Free · open it in the app and customise every day.
Few skylines beat Hong Kong's, and few cities eat as well. It's dense, dramatic and surprisingly green once you leave the centre.
The essentials
The view from Victoria Peak, a ride on the historic Star Ferry, the neon Temple Street market, and the giant Tian Tan Buddha on Lantau.
Good to know
Grab an Octopus card for the superb transit, eat dim sum till you can't, and save a day for Disneyland or the outlying islands.
