How to Make the Most of Your Night in Hong Kong - Top Things to Do During a Night Out in Hong Kong

 Often regarded as one of Asia's top nightlife hubs, Hong Kong is the perfect place to enjoy a night out on the town. Home to some of the finest dance halls, bars, and restaurants in the region, making the most of your time in this city that never sleeps requires both planning and forethought. From dancing the night away to enjoying world-class entertainment, here are some of the best ways to experience Hong Kong's nightlife scene.

 1. Night Hike

Although it might be an unusual way to explore Hong Kong by night, hiking enthusiasts will love this excursion of the highest peak on Lantau Island.  As the second tallest peak in Hong Kong, it will take several hours to reach the top. Starting from the portal close to the Wisdom Path, hikers can head down the well-trodden trail to take in the spectacular views from the top. As an exhilarating way to spend a few hours outdoors, first-timers should enlist the help of a guide although the track is diligently sign-posted.

2. Comedy Night

Hong Kong's stand-up comedy scene is nothing to scoff about as some of the best comics in the region let it rip on stages across the great city every night. Head to TakeOut Comedy, a decades-old comedy club that's supported some of the top comedians in the country before they achieved national recognition. The brainchild of Jami Gong, a Chinese American comedian in his own right, this entertainment hotspot remains one of the best venues to unwind with a beer and laugh out loud on a night out in Hong Kong.

3. Hit the Night Market

Who said shopping sprees are not for night owls? Walk around the Temple Street Night Market and you may find that the best bargains to be had are available at this one of a kind thoroughfare that's also a foodie's paradise. A number of sprawling wholesale markets open after the sun goes down and offer shoppers a chance to stock up on groceries, local treats, and consumer items in the veil of night. Some of the main highlights include the Yau Ma Tei Fruit Wholesale Market down Reclamation Street and Waterloo Road in Kowloon while the Ladies’ Market is another one-stop market for female fashion and accessories.

4. Sail Away

Often regarded as the best way to take in the sights during a business trip or short weekend getaway to Hong Kong, signing up for a Night Harbour Cruise is a great alternative to spending the night in your hotel room.  Setting off into the sunset on a junk boat, the views and the meal onboard are just some of the highlights of this water-bound tour that allows visitors to experience the Hong Kong skyline from a different vantage point. The harbour cruise also offers travellers the chance to catch the daily Symphony of Lights sound and laser spectacle from the sea.

 5. Bar Hopping

Whether you're based at Park Hotel Hong Kong or any other Kowloon hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, you're never too far from Hong Kong's best drinking holes. Spend the night hopping from one trendy bar to another while enjoying signature local cocktails such as a Bloody Mary with wasabi and vodka or an Earl Grey Caviar Martini. Top bars that should be part of every bar-hopping adventure in the city should include the Quinary, Lee Lo Mei, and Wooloo Mooloo, which also offers stunning views of Victoria Harbour in addition to the tipple.

6. Disco Time
