Hong Kong Day Tour
Hong Kong has been well known as its vibrancy and dynamic lifestyle, as well as its history of having a cultural mix between the West and the East. If you are interested in knowing more about this exiting place, come join our Hong Kong Day Tour!
Hong Kong, with a rich background of Chinese culture and customs, is much more than just the heart of finance. We have lots of preserved heritage that used to be the living places of ancient villagers and venues for religious worshipping. By joining this tour, you will visit Che Kung Temple and the Ancestral Hall that were built 300 and 700 years ago respectively. You will be amazed by the architecture and fascinating stories behind the heritage. We will also visit The Hong Kong Heritage Museum. Its recent "Bruce LEE: Kung Fu-Art-Life" exhibition will probably interest you most if you are a fan of Kung Fu.
The tour will end with Chinese dinner with traditional Canton dishes. We wrap up the night alongside the harbour where you can view A Symphony of Lights. Travel is by coach; some walking is required.
