Load the app onto a phone and visitors to Hong Kong will find sample itineraries based around the Old Town Central campaign, while events focus on festivals and crowd pleasers such as Chinese New Year, dragon boating, Hong Kong Art Month and the Wine & Dine festival.
A new and improved My Hong Kong Guide app has been launched by the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB).
Load the app onto a phone and visitors to Hong Kong will find sample itineraries based around the Old Town Central campaign, while events focus on festivals and crowd pleasers such as Chinese New Year, dragon boating, Hong Kong Art Month and the Wine & Dine festival.
There’s a Top 10 Attractions section, and also a quick view of the city’s Michelin recognised restaurants.
The Neighbourhoods district include Luxe City Guides’ recommendations for Eastern, with Tung Po Cantonese restaurant, Shau Kei Wan Market and more, while Weekend Weekly suggests a Tasting trail, Time Traveller trail and Crazy for Art trail in Old Town Central.
Highlights include navigation, instant offers and events. And there’s a real-time chat room (operating 9am to 6pm Monday to Friday) for assistance.
Discounts are tucked into the app as well.
“We want to make it as easy as possible for visitors to find their way around Hong Kong and feel confident to explore at their own leisure,” said Andrew Clark, HKTB regional director – Australia, New Zealand and South Pacific.
“Our lives tend to revolve around digital technology so it makes sense that our guides, maps and even offers are available at a click of a button.”
