A week near Hong Kong Attractions & Activities - The Best Holiday Destinations for 2020
-
This article is an itinerary.
This itinerary has suggestions for someone who:
- wants to get out of Hong Kong (perhaps cannot afford Hong Kong, or has seen it before)
- has about a week to spend
- does not want to fly or take a long bus ride.
Of course you could easily spend a week, or several, in Hong Kong itself.
Also, there are several nearby areas of China that are well worth visiting:
-
Guilin and Yangshuo for famous mountain and river scenery, possibly returning via Southern China's greatest city, Guangzhou.
-
Hainan for tropical beaches.
-
Wu Yi Mountain for history and scenery, returning via the lively modern city Xiamen.
-
Yunnan, home to many of China's minority ethnic groups and a very popular tourist destination.
There are direct flights and/or overnight buses to all of those.
Here I assume you want to stay within a few hour's bus or train travel of Hong Kong.
See Overland Kunming to Hong Kong for a longer trip that includes Yunnan and Guilin.
