Welcome to Hong Kong! After your flight from Delhi, your base for the next four nights is the New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel. I’ve picked this for you because it’s a proper 4-star deluxe spot in Tsim Sha Tsui East that truly understands international travelers; the rooms are much larger than your average HK "shoebox," and the staff is incredibly helpful with family needs. Once you’ve dropped your bags and refreshed, head straight out for a 5-minute stroll to the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade. There’s no better way to shake off the jet lag than looking across Victoria Harbour at the skyline—it’s the classic "I’m in Hong Kong" moment. Grab a freshly brewed coffee or a juice from a nearby shop and just soak in the breeze.
Since it's your first night and everyone might be a bit tired, we’re heading to Kailash Parbat for dinner. It’s a reliable mid-segment favorite right here in Tsim Sha Tsui that serves fantastic North Indian comfort food and chaats that taste just like home—perfect for the kids or any picky eaters in the group. Plan to finish up by 7:45 PM so you can walk back to the waterfront for the Symphony of Lights at 8:00 PM. It’s a 15-minute spectacle where the skyscrapers across the water dance with lasers and LEDs. It's free, iconic, and the best way to see the city lights without spending a dime.
To end the night with some high-energy local vibes, take a short 10-minute taxi or a couple of stops on the MTR to the Temple Street Night Market in Yau Ma Tei. This is where you’ll find the neon signs you’ve seen in the movies. It’s a treasure trove for souvenirs, "copy" watches, tech gadgets, and traditional tea sets. Local Pro-Tip: Never accept the first price here—polite haggling is expected, so aim for about 50-60% of the starting price and work your way up. It’s a safe, vibrant maze of stalls that stays lively until well past 11:00 PM, giving you a real taste of Kowloon’s grit and glamour.
Start your day by heading to the Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal. I highly recommend getting there by 9:30 AM to beat the mid-morning rush. You’re booked on the Ngong Ping 360 Crystal Cabin, which is a total game-changer for the kids—the floor is made of reinforced glass, so you’ll see the turquoise waters of the South China Sea and the lush forest of North Lantau Country Park right beneath your feet. It’s a 25-minute flight through the air that offers the best views of the airport and the bridge to Macau. Once you land in Ngong Ping Village, take a short walk to the base of the mountain to face the Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha). It’s a 268-step climb to the top, but the "zen" atmosphere and the panoramic mountain views are worth every step.
Just across from the statue is the Po Lin Monastery. Even if you’ve seen plenty of temples, the Grand Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas here is spectacular with its intricate gold carvings and vibrant architecture. After all that walking, it’s time for a taste of home. We’ve arranged for a mid-segment feast from JoJo Indian Cuisine. While they are a famous fixture in the city, their catering and delivery services for groups at Lantau are top-notch. You’ll get those familiar North Indian comforts—creamy Butter Chicken, rich Dal Makhani, and fresh Naan—delivered fresh so you don’t have to compromise on your dietary preferences while exploring the island. Expect to spend about $180-250 HKD per person for a satisfying, hearty meal.
Take the cable car back down to Tung Chung and step right into Citygate Outlets. This is Hong Kong’s premier spot for "deals." Since you're traveling as a group, this is the best place to find international brands like Nike, Adidas, Coach, and Armani at 30% to 70% off.
Local Guide Tips for Today:
After you've filled your shopping bags, take the Tung Chung Line (the orange MTR line) directly back toward Tsim Sha Tsui for a relaxing evening at the New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel.
Start your morning with a short, breezy walk from the New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel to the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier. Skip the subway; the Star Ferry is the local way to travel. For just a few dollars, you’ll get the most iconic view of the skyline as you cross to Central. Once you dock, catch a quick taxi or the 15C bus to the Peak Tram Lower Terminus. I recommend getting there by 10:00 AM to avoid the longest queues. The ride itself is a thrill for the kids—the tram climbs at such a steep angle that the skyscrapers look like they’re leaning! Once at the top, head straight to Sky Terrace 428. It’s the highest viewing platform in the city, and on a clear May day, you can see all the way to the green hills of the New Territories.
After descending back to the city level via the tram, take a 10-minute walk toward the business district for lunch at Bombay Dreams. This is a local favorite for the Indian community here; it’s a polished, mid-segment spot that serves a fantastic buffet. It’s perfect for a family because the flavors are authentic—it will feel like a high-end meal back in Delhi but with a view of Hong Kong's bustling streets. Once you’re fueled up, walk over to the Mid-Levels Escalator. It is the world’s longest outdoor covered escalator system. You don’t have to ride it to the very top—just go up a few blocks to soak in the atmosphere of Old Town Central, where traditional herbal tea shops sit right next to trendy art galleries.
As the sun begins to set, take the MTR (Subway) from Central Station back across the water to Mong Kok (Red Line). This is the most densely populated place on earth and has an energy you won't find anywhere else. Your destination is the Ladies' Market on Tung Choi Street. Don't let the name fool you; there’s plenty for everyone, from tech gadgets and "I Love HK" t-shirts to toys and sneakers. Pro tip: Always haggle here—start your offer at about 50% of the price they first quote you. It’s all in good fun, and you’ll likely walk away with some great souvenirs before heading back to the hotel for a well-deserved rest.
Since you are staying at the New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel, the easiest way to start your Disney day is to hop on the MTR at Tsim Sha Tsui Station. You’ll switch to the iconic Disneyland Resort Line at Sunny Bay; keep your cameras ready because even the train windows are shaped like Mickey Mouse! Aim to arrive by 9:30 AM. Once the gates open, you’ll walk straight into Main Street, U.S.A.. It’s tempting to rush to the rides, but take twenty minutes here to soak in the vintage architecture and grab your family photo with the "Castle of Magical Dreams" in the background before the midday crowds arrive.
By lunchtime, skip the standard burgers. I recommend heading over to Tahitian Terrace in Adventureland. This is a local favorite for Indian travelers because it’s one of the few spots in the park that is Halal-certified and serves authentic veggie and meat curries with rice. It’s a mid-segment choice that feels like a tropical escape under the thatched roofs. After refueling, make your way to Tomorrowland for the Iron Man Experience. It’s a total thrill for the kids to see Stark Tower right in the middle of the familiar Hong Kong skyline—it’s the first Marvel ride of its kind and the 4D effects are world-class.
Spend the rest of your afternoon exploring the World of Frozen (the newest addition) and the spooky special effects of Mystic Manor in Mystic Point. Don't leave early! You absolutely have to stay for the finale at 8:00 PM (check the app for the exact timing today). The "Momentous" Nighttime Spectacular is a game-changer; it’s not just fireworks, but a massive projection and water fountain show on the castle that tells a beautiful story about life's journey.
Local Tip: Download the Hong Kong Disneyland app before you leave the hotel. It shows real-time wait times and, more importantly, the schedule for character meet-and-greets. Since you're traveling as a group, look into the "Disney Standby Pass" on the app for the most popular attractions to save yourselves hours of queuing. Stay hydrated, as the Lantau humidity can be intense even in May!
Since it’s your last day, start by soaking in the quiet side of Tsim Sha Tsui. Take a 10-minute walk from the New World Millennium Hong Kong Hotel to Kowloon Park. It’s where we locals go to escape the concrete. Wander through the Chinese Garden, then take the kids to see the Flamingo Pond—they are surprisingly bright pink and a huge hit with families. Before you leave the neighborhood, make a quick stop at the ground floor of the legendary Chungking Mansions. While the building has a wild reputation, the ground floor is the best place to stock up on authentic Indian spices, savory snacks, or a quick cutting chai for the road. It feels like a little slice of home right in the heart of Hong Kong.
For your final shopping sprint, head over to Harbour City. It is Hong Kong’s largest mall and can be overwhelming, so stick to the "Ocean Terminal" wing if you’re looking for kids' brands or toys, or "Gateway Arcade" for international fashion. It's the perfect place to use up those last Hong Kong Dollars on quality brands. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, walk five minutes to Gaylord Indian Restaurant on Ashley Road. This is a mid-segment institution that has been serving the community since 1972. It’s got a great vibe, and their North Indian classics like Murgh Makhani or Paneer Tikka will be a comforting final meal before your flight.
When it's time to head to the airport, don't sweat the traffic. Grab a taxi or a quick MTR ride to Kowloon Station. From there, hop on the Airport Express. It is the gold standard for airport transfers—clean, fast, and gets you to Hong Kong International Airport in exactly 22 minutes. You can use your Octopus Card one last time to pay the fare (approx. $105 HKD).
