About Hong Kong

Hong Kong is one of the world's most dynamic cities — a former British colony that was returned to China in 1997. East meets West here: Taoist temples stand alongside glass skyscrapers, and street food markets sit next to Michelin-starred restaurants.

Hong Kong is a global centre for shopping and gastronomy. A city of more than 1,100 islands where you can ride to Victoria Peak, travel on the historic double-decker tram, and sample some of Asia's finest dim sum — all without a visa.

AMIST tour operator arranges group and individual tours to Hong Kong departing from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Direct flights, Russian-speaking guides, and thoroughly vetted hotels.

How to get there

A direct flight from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Hong Kong takes approximately 4 hours. Connecting routes via Vladivostok or Seoul are also available.

AMIST tour operator handles the selection and booking of flights at the best available fares, including charter flights during peak season. We will find a convenient departure time and the most suitable routing.

Airport Express — a high-speed rail link from the airport to Central station in 24 minutes. The fastest and most convenient way to reach the city centre.

Express buses to the main districts (routes A11, A21) and taxis are also available. We recommend purchasing Octopus card — a universal transit card accepted for transport, retail purchases, and food.

MTR (metro) — Hong Kong's primary transit network: clean, fast, and air-conditioned. It serves virtually every district of the city and the New Territories.

Double-decker trams — an emblem of Hong Kong, running along the northern shore of Hong Kong Island. A fare of just HKD 3 makes them an excellent sightseeing option in their own right.

Star Ferry — the legendary ferry between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon across Victoria Harbour. One of the world's most rewarding water crossings at a nominal fare.

All modes of transport are conveniently paid for Octopus card.

Fascinating facts about Hong Kong

15 remarkable facts about the city of skyscrapers

01

The tallest building

The International Commerce Centre (ICC) rises 484 metres over 118 floors. On the 100th floor, the Sky100 observation deck offers a panoramic view across all of Hong Kong.

02

Double-decker trams

Hong Kong's trams have been running since 1904 and have become one of the city's defining symbols. It is the only tram system in the world that operates entirely with double-decker cars.

03

Symphony of Lights

Every evening at 20:00 the skyscrapers on both sides of Victoria Harbour stage a large-scale laser and light show. The best vantage point is the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront promenade.

04

Michelin-starred restaurants

Hong Kong is home to the world's most affordable Michelin-starred restaurant — Tim Ho Wan, where a portion of dim sum costs around USD 5. The city has more than 80 Michelin-starred restaurants in total.

05

Visa-free entry

Russian citizens may enter Hong Kong visa-free for up to 14 days. A valid international passport with at least one month's validity beyond the departure date is all that is required.

06

Ngong Ping Cable Car

Ngong Ping 360 is a 5.7 km cable car on Lantau Island. Glass-bottomed gondolas carry passengers up to the 34-metre Big Buddha statue.

07

10,000 Buddhas

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery in Sha Tin requires climbing 431 steps up a hillside flanked by gilded statues. The monastery in fact houses more than 13,000 Buddha figures, each with a distinct facial expression.

08

Star Ferry since 1888

The Star Ferry has been crossing between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon for more than 130 years. The 7-minute voyage across Victoria Harbour costs just HKD 4 — making it one of the world's most rewarding waterway journeys for the price.

09

1,100 islands

Hong Kong is not a single city but an archipelago of more than 1,100 islands, most of them uninhabited. Lantau Island is twice the size of Hong Kong Island, while Sharp Island features volcanic rock formations dating back 140 million years.

10

The world's longest outdoor escalator

The Central–Mid-Levels Escalator is a covered escalator system stretching 800 metres with an elevation change of 135 metres. It carries more than 85,000 people daily between the central business district and the residential neighbourhoods on the hillside above.

11

Tsing Ma Bridge

The Tsing Ma Bridge is one of the world's largest suspension bridges, carrying two tiers of traffic. Its main span measures 1,377 metres, linking the mainland with Lantau Island and the airport.

12

Victoria Peak

Victoria Peak (552 m) is Hong Kong's principal viewing point. The historic Peak Tram has been climbing here since 1888 at gradients of up to 27°. From the summit the entire harbour, Kowloon, and the New Territories are visible.

13

Octopus Card

The Octopus contactless card was introduced in 1997 — long before Apple Pay. It is accepted on the MTR, buses, ferries, in shops, and even at street food stalls. Over 35 million cards are in circulation — more than four times Hong Kong's population.

14

Repulse Bay

Repulse Bay beach on the southern shore of Hong Kong Island is one of the city's most frequented beaches. Nearby stands the Temple of Tin Hau with its imposing statues of the gods of Fortune and Longevity, and a bridge said to "extend one's life by 3 days with each crossing."

15

City of neon signs

Hong Kong was once the world capital of neon signage — by the 2000s there were more than 120,000 signs. Although LED is gradually replacing neon, the Mong Kok and Jordan districts still glow with the classic signs that have become an emblem of the city.

What our travellers say

★★★★★

Victoria Peak at sunset is extraordinary — the entire city glows below. And the dim sum at the restaurant our guide recommended was the finest we have ever had. Thank you, AMIST!

Marina S. Hong Kong Classic, November 2025
★★★★★

Shopping in Hong Kong is a genuine pleasure. Everything was perfectly organised: transfers, a centrally located hotel, and a guide who knew every worthwhile spot. We will certainly return.

Irina and Andrei K. Hong Kong Classic, December 2025
★★★★★

The Hong Kong + Macau combination is an ideal choice. In one week we experienced two entirely different worlds. The casinos in Macau are impressive, and Hong Kong is a city in a class of its own.

Viktor P. Hong Kong + Macao, October 2025
★★★★★

We booked a VIP tour with a private guide. The level of service exceeded every expectation. Dinner on the 118th floor of the ICC overlooking the bay was an experience in itself.
