The Hang Seng Index climbed 0.56 per cent, or 147.22 points to 26,672.16.
And the benchmark Shanghai Composite Index rallied 1.36 per cent higher, or 43.41 points, to 3,230.98 while the Shenzhen Composite Index, which tracks stocks on China's second exchange, gained 1.53 per cent, or 27.73 points, to 1,839.06 on hopes for a strong earnings season.
