Start with a Scenic Journey
Without seeing Victoria Peak, the highest peak on Hong Kong Island, a trip to Hong Kong is incomplete. Start your guided tour by visiting the Peak by the vintage Peak Tram, a funicular railway that steeply climbs the mountain and provides breathtaking views of the city as you go. The trip itself offers a unique perspective on Hong Kong’s urban sprawl below.
Discovering the Heart of Hong Kong: SoHo and Central
Return to the busy core of the city after absorbing the views. The Central district of Hong Kong combines modernism with colonial past. One of Hong Kong’s oldest avenues, Hollywood Road, winds past galleries, antique stores, and traditional Chinese medicine clinics. A little stroll will also lead you to SoHo, a vibrant area well-known for its array of boutiques, restaurants, and cafes.
Lunch in a neighborhood dim sum restaurant
Without enjoying real dim sum, a Cantonese gastronomic legacy of bite-sized dumplings, buns, and other delicacies, no vacation to Hong Kong is complete. A neighborhood dim sum restaurant will be a great introduction to the cuisine scene of the city.
Afternoon Discovery in Street Markets of Hong Kong
Your trip will lead you to some of Hong Kong’s well-known street markets following lunch, where the city’s vitality really comes alive. Visit Temple Street Night Market, one of Kowloon’s most often visited markets. Street sellers offering anything from toys, electronics, and local foods to clothes and accessories provide a sensory assault on this market. The location gains even more appeal from the energetic environment, street artists, and fortune tellers. Your guide will assist you in negotiating the labyrinth of booths for souvenirs, food, or unusual products you might not otherwise come across.
Finish the Day with a Star Ferry Ride and Victoria Harbour Lights
Finish your guided tour with a leisurely ride on the Star Ferry, a Hong Kong institution since 1888, as the sun starts to set. As the city lights start to glitter, the ferry trip across Victoria Harbour provides breathtaking views of the skyline. On the Kowloon side, stop at the Avenue of Stars for a view of the striking skyline and a peek at Hong Kong’s cinema past.
From the great heights of Victoria Peak to the energetic markets of Hong Kong, this guided trip provides a whole taste of everything the city has to offer. Hong Kong provides something for everyone regardless of your interests—nature, history, cuisine, or whatever. Hong Kong is among the most fascinating cities in the world because of the blend of modern and traditional, natural beauty and urban life; a guided tour is the ideal approach to see all of it.
