Skyscrapers stacked against the harbour, trams rattling below and a bowl of wonton noodles for less than a London coffee. Air China and China Southern are flying London to Hong Kong return from £331, with one or two stops depending on the date, and fares scattered from September right through to December. One of the world's great cities, within reach for less than most weekend breaks at home.

💰 How far does your money go?
A bowl of wonton noodles at a local shop costs around £3, and a full cha chaan teng breakfast rarely tops £5. A pint at a proper Hong Kong pub runs about £4.50, and a taxi across most of the city won't clear £6. A weekend of eating and drinking well here costs less than one night out in London.
☀️ The Weather
Hong Kong stays warm well into fine autumn, with highs of 27–29°C through September and October, dropping to a mild 20–23°C by November and December, dry and comfortable with clear skies for most of the trip.
🏨 Where to Stay
Three bases to pick from, from solid and central to full harbour views.
Burlington Hotel — 8.0/10 · From £55/night A straightforward, well-located base in the heart of Wan Chai, a two-minute walk from the MTR.
Mondrian Hong Kong — 8.8/10 · From £140/night Sleek rooms with striking harbour views, right in the middle of the action on Hong Kong Island.
Kerry Hotel Hong Kong by Shangri-La — 9.1/10 · From £210/night Waterfront rooms, an infinity pool and a private dock, the splurge option for the harbour at its best.
🎯 What to Do
Hong Kong runs on dim sum by day and neon by night.
Victoria Peak Tram — The steepest tram ride in the world, best timed for sunset over the skyline.
Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour — A short, cheap crossing with one of the best skyline views anywhere.
Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery, Lantau — A cable car ride up to a 34-metre bronze statue overlooking the island.
Temple Street Night Market — Fortune tellers, street food and stalls that run late into the evening in Kowloon.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
Hong Kong is also the easiest gateway into the wider Pearl River Delta.
Macau — Portuguese old town and casinos, an hour away by ferry.
Shenzhen — Modern skyline and tech shopping, 14 minutes away by high-speed train.
Guangzhou — Historic hall, riverside parks and Cantonese food, 47 minutes away by high-speed train.
At £331 return, this is one of the cheapest routes into East Asia from the UK this year. Fares like this don't last.
