Recent years have witnessed the rise of bleisure travel. Bleisure is a portmanteau of business and leisure, where the boundaries between personal and business travel blur. The idea of combining business travel with leisure time is increasingly gaining popularity among young business people, while many employers are supportive of the trend as well, believing that bleisure travel may help relieve stress from work and tiredness after long travel time and also enhance job satisfaction.

If you are scheduled for a business travel to Hong Kong, don’t hesitate to switch on the bleisure mode! No matter you are a nature lover, a museumgoer or you enjoy the bustling life of modern city, you will definitely find yourself spoilt for choice in Hong Kong. Still not decided on where to chill out here? Here is our customized guide for bleisure travelers like you.

01 The Peak

To start with, the Peak is definitely a not-to-miss attraction in Hong Kong. From the Peak, you can enjoy a jaw-dropping panorama of Hong Kong’s cityscape. To get there, you can either take the Peak Tram which takes you from Central to around 1,300 feet above sea level, or take the No. 15 bus at Central’s bus terminus to the Peak.

For those who want to revitalize their stiff muscles after a long flight, the attraction is absolutely hikers friendly (1~3 hours depending on your choice of trail). Once up there, you are strongly advised to drop by the Anvil-shaped Peak Tower, where you can enjoy a bird’s-eye view of Hong Kong’s skyscrapers and the Victoria Harbor at the large viewing platform.

02 Book a Room to Rest

After coming down from The Peak, you might want a quick place to freshen up, shower, or simply recharge. With Flow- Hong Kong’s locally based app, you can book hotels or co-working spaces by the hour, giving you total flexibility during your trip. Choose from a wide range of options around the Central area, from stylish boutique hotels to comfortable workspaces. Take a break, reset, and get ready for your next adventure!

If there is urgent work for you to cope with, book a hot desk with Flow to stay for half a day. No worries in case of unexpected tasks!

03 Party out in Lan Kwai Fong

After a short rest, you are now ready for the exciting nightlife in here. Lan Kwai Fong is one of the most crowd-pleasing nightlife hot spots to chill out at. More than 90 bars and restaurants you can find in this district. Take a photo with the Instagram-worthy street sign, then just randomly drop in one popular bar, and you can never be disappointed.

If you feel like a gig, swing by the little jazz bar of Peel Fresco where Hong Kong’s best jazz virtuosos are to soothe your nerves. Just go check out the cozy little place and waggle your head and toes to the music!

04 Ride with Star Ferry

On another clear day, hop on the iconic Star Ferry from Central to Tsim Sha Tsui, the ride takes barely five minutes, but it’s an experience every bleisure traveler shouldn’t miss. As you glide across Victoria Harbour, you’ll be treated to one of the most spectacular skyline views in the world.

Whether you’re snapping photos for your feed or simply taking a moment to unwind in the refreshing sea breeze, this short ferry journey offers the perfect mental reset between meetings and sightseeing. Once you arrive in Tsim Sha Tsui, you’ll find plenty of cafés, museums, and waterfront spots to continue your exploration at your own pace.

If you’re a museum enthusiast, Tsim Sha Tsui (TST) is a treasure trove waiting to be explored. The area is home to some of Hong Kong’s top museums, all conveniently located close to each other — perfect for squeezing in a cultural break between work and leisure. Art lovers should make time for the Hong Kong Museum of Art, which showcases both classic and contemporary works from local and international artists. For those fascinated by science and astronomy, the Hong Kong Space Museum and the Hong Kong Science Museum in TST East offer hands-on exhibits, interactive displays, and fascinating insights into the universe and technology.

Meanwhile, the Hong Kong Museum of History is ideal for anyone looking to understand the city’s rich past and dynamic present, providing context to the culture, traditions, and rapid transformations that make Hong Kong so unique. A few hours at these museums can be both relaxing and enriching, a perfect balance for bleisure travelers seeking inspiration and downtime.

06 Unwind on Hong Kong’s Beautiful Islands

Want a break away from the city instead? You’re in luck! Hong Kong’s outlying islands are just a short ferry ride away from the Central Ferry Piers, offering a refreshing break and a glimpse of the city’s more tranquil side. Stroll along charming waterfronts, admire picturesque landscapes, and immerse yourself in the unique fishing village culture that each island has to offer.

Popular choices include Lamma Island (from Pier No. 4) with its laid-back vibe and scenic trails, Cheung Chau (Pier No. 5) known for its colorful temples and local seafood, and Mui Wo (Pier No. 6), a peaceful riverside retreat perfect for unwinding before heading back to the city.
