The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills guide to Hong Kong
STAY
Island Shangri-La
Island Shangri-La is the epitome of fancy, just like the ladies from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. From its signature scent to its breathtaking views, this luxurious 5-star hotel will cater to every whim. Do a Lisa Vanderpump and book into the Presidential Suite where a 24-hour butler is available at the touch of a button. Now that’s classy!

EAT
Hutong
[aiovg_video id=173570]
Those Housewives, or at least their production team, have good taste, as Hutong is such a stunning place to dine, especially if you are only in Hong Kong for a short time. Indulge in delicate Beijing-style cuisine as you check out the views of Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong Island, just be sure not to mention to Erika’s son… she hates that.

DRINK
Lobster Bar & Grill
Located in Island Shangri-La, Lobster Bar & Grill boasts elegant interior design, aquariums and makes some incredibly fine cocktails. Alternatively you can opt to do it like Lisa Rinna and drink tequila straight with lots of lime. Whatever you choose, Lobster Bar & Grill is constantly named one of Asia’s Best 50 Bars, so you know you’re in good hands.

Aqua Luna
You honestly can’t beat Aqua Luna, unless Dorit and Erika start laying it down. The refurbished traditional junk boat takes you up and down the harbour as you sip on champagne and, if you time it right, you can catch The Symphony of Lights. Just remember, if you are going to fight, you will need your glam squad close by to fix your mascara.

SHOP
Shanghai Tang
Forget your troubles like Eileen, and go on a shopping spree at Shanghai Tang. The store crafts beautiful clothing, accessories and homeware with an oriental twist, and if you’re lucky, you may run into some local celebrities.

SIGHT-SEEING
Ngong Ping 360
Despite Kyle hating every minute of this journey, Ngong Ping 360 is one of the few things you absolutely must do in Hong Kong. Upgrade to the crystal cabin and travel in the gondola on your way to see The Big Buddha. You will have 360-degree views of the city, and have a great opportunity to see that it’s more than just skyscrapers.
Ngong Ping 360, Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal is adjacent to Tung Chung Station, and is about a two-minute walk from Exit B of the station
Tian Tan Buddha
Hopefully it won’t be raining on the day you visit like it was for the ladies from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but just in case, be sure to dress appropriately (I’m looking at you Eileen, Dorit and Erika), as there are 268 steps leading up to the Buddha itself. If you’re like Lisa Vanderpump, you may prefer to stay on flat land and make friends with the sacred cattle instead, at least they don’t talk back.

Peak Tram & The Peak
Lisa Rinna and Eden did one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city and took the Peak Tram up to The Peak to check out the view. It’s one of the best places in town to take a selfie, especially if the weather is good, and it’s a good place to escape to if you need to dish the dirt on other members of your squad.

Hong Kong Park
Located right in the centre of the city, Hong Kong Park has a range of turtles, koi fish and birds to look at as you wander around. It’s also a great backdrop for taking pictures. Grab a snap like Kyle and Erika did under the famous water feature and you’ll be living like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in no time.
