There are many ways to get to Hong Kong Disneyland.

If you're near an MTR (Mass Transit Railway) Station, you can board the Disneyland Resort Line at Sunny Bay Station for a direct train to the resort.

There are also a number of bus services from different parts of the city, as well as areas outside of Hong Kong. While there are too many to mention here, check out the Hong Kong Disneyland website to see them all.

If you want to travel in style and comfort, why not book a cab to Hong Kong Disneyland? Here's everything you need to know.

Alternatively, you could drive there yourself! It's worth shopping around for deals to ensure you get the best price, but once you've got your vehicle of choice, follow these instructions to get to the resort. You'll also need to know where to park. Don't worry; we've got you covered.

Where to Stay in Hong Kong Disneyland : A Complete Guide

While you're free to stay at your hotel of choice within Hong Kong or settle down in an Airbnb, why not wake up where the action is at one of Hong Kong Disneyland's many fantastic hotels?

If you want to surround yourself with Disney movie magic every morning, there's only one choice; Disney's Hollywood Hotel. Adorned with Art Deco fixtures and filled with snapshots from famous Disney properties, staying at the Hollywood Hotel will immerse you in celluloid goodness from dawn to dusk. If you're bringing the little ones with you, they'll appreciate all the fun activities available, as well as all the Disney movie easter eggs they'll spot within.

If you'd rather keep the Disney magic inside the park, why not stay at the opulent Hong Kong Disney Hotel? With its grand Victorian design, garden maze, and a giant lobby filled with live music every day, it will make you feel like royalty. The top-of-the-line rooms with modern amenities help, too.

Looking for a more unique hotel experience? Hit up the Disney Explorers Lodge, which pays homage to the many cultures and locations where Disney's smash-hit movies take place. The hotel features four 'zones' that match certain biomes and tropical climates from Disney films. Pick between Asia, Oceania, South America, and Africa, and in the restaurant, they serve dishes from five different continents.

Hong Kong Disneyland Opening Times

Hong Kong Disneyland typically opens at 10.30AM and shuts at 8.30PM, Monday to Sunday. However, it's worth noting that the park is closed for certain holidays. Check here to make sure the dates you want to travel are available.

Now you know how to get there, where to stay, and when it opens, let's get to the good stuff!

 

Top Attractions at Hong Kong Disneyland

There are way too many attractions to shout out individually, so we'll cover our picks of the most unmissable experiences at the park!

Ant-Man and The Wasp: Nano Battle!

Ironman's in trouble - Hydra is attacking Stark Tower! At the same time, an evil AI called Arnim Zola is trying to steal his data core. He needs tiny help to stop the theft. He needs Ant-Man and The Wasp.

Hong Kong in February

Are you visiting Hong Kong in February? Check out our guide to the weather, the local events, and experiences you can't afford to miss! Including: Is Feb a good time to visit Hong Kong? What is the cheapest month to travel Hong Kong? Is 2 weeks in Hong Kong enough? Hong Kong in February February Events in Hong Kong The best February Attractions in Hong Kong Is Feb a good time to visit Hong Kong? February is peak winter in Hong Kong, which in some cases may be off-putting. But here, that makes it one of the driest months of the year, which makes a change from many Western countries! However, it's worth noting that this isn't a secret, and many people will travel in winter to make the most of the cooler, drier weather. So expect more tourists. What is the cheapest month to travel Hong Kong? The cheapest month to fly to Hong Kong is usually October. Why? Well, it's the country's wettest month. So cheaper doesn't always mean better! Is 2 weeks in Hong Kong enough? Two weeks is a long time to spend visiting any country, and that's just as true in Hong Kong. We'd recommend staying in the country for 3-5 days to see all its best bits, maybe a bit longer if you're traveling in February during the New Year celebrations - more on that below! Hong Kong in February: Weather Being at the tail end of winter, temperatures are a bit warmer than in January. Expect average highs of 65°F and lows of 59°F. It is worth noting that cold fronts can drop the temperature quite dramatically, with lows of 32°F and snow having been recorded in some of Hong Kong's higher locations. Sun-wise, don't expect much. February in Hong Kong is predominantly cloudy, which at least means only the fairest skinned need to worry about sunscreen. And, while February is typically a dry month, you can expect around six days of rain over the month. So pack accordingly! Speaking of... Hong Kong in February: What to pack For your average day, we'd recommend light, layerable clothing. Think T-shirts, long dresses, and sweaters. It's also worth packing a warmer jacket for cooler evenings, and a waterproof/umbrella in case your visit sees any rainfall. February Events in Hong Kong: Chinese New Year Chinese - or Lunar - New Year typically falls in February and spans a total of 16 days, making it the most significant and lengthiest celebration in Hong Kong. During the festivities, you can check out the Chinese New Year Parade along Tsim Sha Tsui, and a spectacular fireworks extravaganza lights up the skies above Victoria Harbour. Or, if racing's your bag, head to the Chinese New Year horse races at Sha Tin Racecourse. It's also the perfect time to visit local businesses and immerse yourself in culture. While smaller shops do close for a period over the celebrations, once they're open, they sell all manner of New Year-related goodies that'll happily top someone's mantlepiece back home. February Events in Hong Kong: Spring Lantern Festival At the tail end of Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival rings in the springtime. During the festival, lanterns are illuminated and adorned on trees in public parks, beaches, and various buildings across Hong Kong. It's truly a sight to behold and practically demands about 50 photos! Then, head to the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui and check out the Spring Lantern Carnival, where you'll find a parade, street performers, and general festival revelry to enjoy. The best February Attractions in Hong Kong: Ngong Ping If you can brave the cooler climates up on Ngong Ping, taking a tour of the village and seeing the stunning Tian Tian Buddha statue is one of the best things to do in Hong Kong in February! The cable car up the mountain is a treat in itself, but once you're there, you can visit the Po Lin Monastery, walk the Wisdom Path, and visit the second-largest sitting Buddha statue on the planet! Then, before you get the cable car down, visit the village and buy some goodies for back home. The best February Attractions in Hong Kong: Big Bus Sightseeing Tour You can't visit Hong Kong without hitting up all the city's biggest landmarks. And, on this hop-on, hop-off bus tour, you can do just that. Simply disembark at any stop that takes your fancy, go explore, and then hop on board the next bus to continue along. Go at your own pace, explore what you want, and see everything in a day. It doesn't get much more convenient than that! With hotspots like Victoria Park, Man Mo Temple, Lan Kwai Fong, and Causeway Bay part of the route, you'll come home with plenty of pictures. Plus, with an audio guide available in a ton of languages, you can even learn about the sites you decide not to explore. Good stuff! The best February Attractions in Hong Kong: Legend Heroes Park If you want to avoid the outside world during the colder, wetter days, where better to hide than a modern arcade? With arcade cabinets, VR headsets, and an on-site cafe, Legend Heroes Park is the perfect getaway. The VR experiences can be enjoyed solo or in a group, so no matter your travel plans, you'll be well looked after. And if you've never tried VR, it's a wild ride. Shoot zombies, bungee jump, or drive a race car - the possibilities are endless. Outside of that, you have your classic arcade cabinets, air hockey, pinball, and a coffee bar with snacks to fuel all your gaming needs. The best February Attractions in Hong Kong: Lan Kwai Pub Crawl And, if you want to make friends and hit up some of Hong Kong's best watering holes, try this pub crawl of the lively Lan Kwai. With your boozy guides in tow, you and your group will visit some of the lesser-known hotspots in town. And in each one, you'll get drinks, shooters, and entry, all included. Then, when you're good and merry, your final stop is one of the city's hottest clubs, where you can dance the night away. And that's everything you need to know about Hong Kong in February.

Things to do in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year

Many countries in East Asia celebrate Chinese New Year. And, considering Hong Kong is now a part of China, it's hardly groundbreaking news to discover that they do too. No matter where you are, Chinese New Year is about family. Dom Toretto would be proud. It's a time for families to come together, be thankful for what they have, and look forward to the future with hope. So, if you're visiting Hong Kong over the Chinese New Year, what will you be able to get up to? Below, we'll explore all the best things to do in Hong Kong for the Chinese New Year. We'll also give you an overview of 2024's Zodiac animal and what that means to people born in their year! Including: When is the Chinese New Year? What does the Year of the Dragon signify? Things to do in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year Chinese New Year Parade Victoria Harbour Fireworks Chinese New Year Horse Races Spring Lantern Festival When is the Chinese New Year? In 2024, the Chinese New Year is on February 10. This year, that means it's the Year of the Dragon. If you celebrated Chinese New Year in 2023 or before, you'll notice that February 10 is a different date from years past. Well observed! Chinese New Year isn't celebrated on a set date but follows the Chinese Lunar Calendar, which, as you can gather from the 'lunar' title, depends on the moon's cycles. However, as a vague rule of thumb, Chinese New Year typically falls between 20 and 50 days after the Gregorian calendar's New Year, which is January 1. If you didn't know the calendar used in the West was called the Gregorian calendar, well, you're welcome. What does the Year of the Dragon signify? In the Chinese Zodiac, the Dragon represents power, honor, success, and luck. But there are other variables here too, which are determined by the year. For 2024, the Year of the Dragon is combined with the wood element to create the Year of the Wood Dragon. Wood also connotes two additional traits - curiosity and creativity. People born on this specific date are said to be go-getters, developing unique ideas and then zoning in on them. Driven to succeed, they're often predisposed to a career in business, though, as they're also said to be funny and diplomatic, perhaps their path is not set in stone. Of course, non-believers may consider all of this complete conjecture, but for those who do believe, it's clear why being born on the Year of the Wood Dragon is considered a blessing! Things to do in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year Right, enough backstory; let's get to the main event! If you're looking for things to do in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year, these are the big hitters no traveler should miss! Chinese New Year Parade The Chinese New Year Parade is one of the most popular New Year events in Hong Kong. Drawing crowds of thousands every year who line the streets in Tsim Sha Tsui, why not join them and witness the countless colorful floats, lively dragons, traditional Chinese dancers, and bands that make the parade so special? Things kick off pretty late (typically, the parade starts at 8PM), but festivities in the area normally start at 6PM. If you want to get a good spot, you should definitely get there a few hours early. Perhaps the best course of action is to spend the day exploring the nearby sights and landmarks. That way, you won't be "wasting" time waiting for the parade standing idly. But what's nearby? Well, Hong Kong's biggest mall, Harbour City, just so happens to be nearby. So, if you fancy doing some light shopping - you won't want a ton of bags with you when watching the parade - it's the perfect time. If you have no interest in that, check out the Avenue of Stars, Kowloon Park, Nathan Road, or the Temple Street Night Market for some snacks instead. Disclaimer: In 2023, the Chinese New Year Parade was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It's still being determined whether the parade will take place in 2024. As such, it's worth checking online ahead of your trip, just to make sure the parade, as well as other Chinese New Year events, are canceled. Chinese New Year Fireworks Over Victoria Harbour On the second day of the Spring Festival, Victoria Harbour typically holds a massive firework display. Lasting around 25 minutes, it usually coincides with the daily Symphony of Lights, which elevates the spectacle to new heights. For the best views, head to Tsim Sha Tsui, Central, Wan Chai, by boat, or from The Peak. Disclaimer: Like the parade, fireworks were canceled in 2023. Check ahead online to see if the fireworks are back on. Chinese New Year Horse Races Horse races might not be your cup of tea, but for more than 100,000 crowded into Sha Tin Racecourse on day three of the Chinese New Year, it's one of the most exciting things about the celebrations. But these aren't your average, run-of-the-mill horse races. Instead, this special day of races is organized by the charity 'Hong Kong Jockey Club', and the day's entertainment raises money for good causes. Expect races, traditional shows, performances, and the opening ceremony, which features plenty of the color red - a staple of Chinese New Year. Disclaimer: Like the parade and fireworks, the New Year horse races were canceled in 2023. Check ahead online to see if the fireworks are back on. The Spring Lantern Festival And at the end of it all, you can see out the Chinese New Year at the Spring Lantern Festival. Hong Kong will fill up with thousands upon thousands of colorful lanterns, and you'll also catch live performances, carnivals, and much more as you wander the city. So those are the biggest and best things to do in Hong Kong for Chinese New Year! If you plan to spend a good few days in the city, why not fill up your itinerary with fun with Go City? With our All-Inclusive Pass and Explorer Pass, you can see all the city's best bits for one low price!
