Hyatt Centric’s ‘Explore North Point 2.0’ programme gives you everything needed to discover one of the city’s most vibrant districts
For a quick weekend getaway, there’s nowhere quite like Hong Kong. The city’s unique blend of modernity and tradition has made it a favourite destination for many in Singapore. For those seeking a new way to explore this dynamic island, a Hyatt Centric Victoria Harbour Hong Kong campaign provides an excellent gateway to explore North Point’s history and culture.
The “Explore North Point 2.0” programme offers an enriched experience that extends beyond the typical tourist pathways. Instead, it encourages travellers to engage with the local community in meaningful ways. The programme takes a more thoughtful approach to travel, where discovery is intertwined with cultural immersion and direct support for local businesses.
Upon check-in at the hotel, guests receive an Explorer Kit, which comes with an illustrated guide with locations divided into three segments: “arts & culture” venues, “eat & drink” places, and photo spots. A digital map in the kit offers detailed directions to each location.

The “arts & culture” section of the guide directs guests to local galleries and street art installations that celebrate both traditional and contemporary Hong Kongese art. It also includes information about cultural landmarks such as the Sunbeam Theatre, a cornerstone of Cantonese opera, so guests can experience this traditional art form first-hand.
In the “eat & drink” category, the kit includes vouchers that can be redeemed at select local eateries. These vouchers introduce travellers to iconic dishes from the area and help funnel economic benefits directly to small business owners. One can enjoy iconic gai daan jai (egg waffles) from a renowned street vendor or savour the rich flavours of siu mai and cheung fan at a beloved local dim sum joint.

The photo spots section of the guide brings travellers to some of North Point’s most picturesque locations, from bustling market streets to serene harbourside views. In these places, one can capture the trademark dynamic contrast between the old and the new that Hong Kong offers.
The Explorer Kit is complemented by digital elements, including a detailed map to help navigate the area and access exclusive audio clips known as “soundscapes”. These unique audio recordings capture the ambient sounds of North Point, created by local artists to provide a sonic backdrop to the visual and tactile experiences of the campaign.
