If you’re looking for a fun, hassle-free way to explore Hong Kong, Citybus, one of the largest public operators in the city, has you covered with its Hong Kong City Sightseeing Buses. With their full coverage of Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, these unique hop-on, hop-off tours connect you to all the top spots and destinations in Hong Kong, allowing you to jump on and off the bus as many times as you like. Launching this year were some brand-new additions, the ‘H3 and H4 Coastliner’ routes taking you along the island’s most scenic coastal spots, including Stanley, Repulse Bay and Kennedy Town New Praya. Whether you’re a visitor or a local, these open-top buses will offer you some of the best views in the city and a ton of great photo locations for creating those long-lasting memories.
The H3 route kicks off near the Hong Kong Observation Wheel in Central, passing landmarks like the Golden Bauhinia Square before heading south to Ocean Park and the stunning beaches of Deep Water and Repulse Bay. The journey ends at Stanley Market, where you can hop off to explore, buy local gifts, enjoy a meal, and soak up the magnificent coastline.
On the way back, the H4 route traverses the coastline before treating you to the ‘Sunset Rollercoaster’ experience – a thrilling ride down the iconic Hill Road Flyover – before stopping at Kennedy Town New Praya for one of the best sunset views in the city. Best of all, the buses operating on these routes feature both fully open top areas and partial glass canopy tops, so you won’t have to miss the views come rain or shine.
Beyond the new ‘H3 and H4 Coastliner’ routes, Citybus also offers other established sightseeing tours that will open your eyes to all the different sides of the city. The ‘H1 Heritage Route’ covers top attractions like the Avenue of Stars and Man Mo Temple, while the ‘H1S HK Art Discovery’ and ‘H2 Cultural Route’ will take you on an artistic journey linking to Tai Kwun, West Kowloon Cultural District, as well as other iconic landmarks and streetscapes deep in the heart of urban Kowloon such as the famous Ladies Market. Of course, don’t miss the ‘H2K Night Scene Hong Kong’, where you can immerse yourself in the dazzling city lights along the waterfront and ride among the glistening skyscrapers of the city that never sleeps.
For the ultimate sightseeing experience, the Citybus+ Dayrider Pass is available for just $198, offering 24 hours of unlimited rides on all Citybus routes, including the open-top sightseeing tours. Whether you’re chasing coastal views, cultural gems, or urban adventures, it’s the perfect way to see the city at your own pace.
