Hong Kong - Deluxe Tour (Option 1)

Hong Kong was once a simple fishing village. Today, it is one of the world's most cosmopolitan cities where East truly meets West. Be amazed by this exciting City of Life with this tour.

Man Mo Temple

Built in 1847, Man Mo Temple is a picturesque tribute to the God of Literature ("Man") and the God of Martial Arts ("Mo"). The incense-shrouded interior makes a pleasant break from the hustle and bustle of city life.

 

Once inside, you can see giant incense coils hanging overhead. If you want to know what the future holds, make a wish with the "fortune sticks" inside the temple. An English translation of the sayings inscribed on the sticks is available on site.

Peak Tram to the Peak

Getting there is half the fun. There's nothing in the world like the Peak Tram. Pulled by steel cables, the tram climbs 373 meters. It's so steep that the buildings you pass look like they're leaning at a 45 degree angle! Surely you'll love this trip.

 

Once you get to the top, you'll be amazed by the spectacular view overlooking the famous Victoria Harbour and Kowloon skyline, towering skyscrapers and peaceful green hillsides.

Aberdeen Fishing Village

Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter is an old traditional fishing village which is hard to find in any other parts of the world. Aberdeen Harbour is home to hundreds of people living on fishing junks. Their traditional lifestyle is dramatically juxtaposed against a modern high-rise community spread over the nearby hillsides.

 

Enjoy a traditional Chinese Dim Sum lunch aboard the Jumbo Kingdom Floating Restaurant.

Stanley Market

After a hectic day, relax and stroll along the serene beach of Stanley. For those with ample energy, adjacent to the beach, Stanley Market is a shoppers' paradise where you can find a wide variety of souvenirs such as silk, garments, sportswear, Chinese artwork and accessories.

 

Hong Kong - 360 Lantau Explorer Tour (Option 2)

For repeat visitors, step outside of Hong Kong's bustling downtown district and into the picturesque countryside. Lantau Island is almost twice the size of Hong Kong Island and is one of the best-loved outlying islands. With the new development of Ngong Ping Cable Car and Ngong Ping Village, the island has become a new attraction in Hong Kong.

 

Get close to nature on this tour and explore Tai O, a quaint fishing village where the houses are on stilts, visit the World's tallest, outdoor, seated bronze Buddha statue at the Po Lin Monastery and enjoy a great vegetarian meal.

Avenue of the Stars

Ngong Ping Cable Car

Ngong Ping Cable Car connects Tung Chung and Ngong Ping. The 3.5 miles cable car journey offers visitors spectacular 360 degree panoramic views of South China Sea, Hong Kong International Airport, Lantau North Country Park and Giant Buddha.

Tai O Fishing Village

Tai O Fishing Village was once the largest inhabited settlement on Lantau Island. The village's stilt houses on the water front, offer a glimpse into Hong Kong's past and provide a striking contrast with the modern city.

Vegetarian Lunch at Po Lin Monastery

The Chinese vegetarian cuisine is a tradition in food culture from ancient China. Po Lin Monastery is famous for providing high quality Buddhist vegetarian cuisine in Hong Kong.

 

Nowadays, the chefs can prepare the vegetarian food with a taste similar to typical Chinese cuisine.

Giant Buddha

Known as the "Buddhist Kingdom in the South", Hong Kong's Po Lin Monastery is the most popular Buddhist temple in Hong Kong. The Monastery oversees the giant bronze statue of the Sakyamuni Buddha.

Ngong Ping Village

Enjoy a leisure walk in the Ngong Ping Village where all the buildings are architecturally designed to reflect and maintain the cultural and spiritual integrity of the Ngong Ping area.

 

Shanghai - Full Day Tour

Morning pick-up from your hotel to Jade Buddha Temple and Yuyuan Garden. After lunch, tour continues to the Shanghai Old Street, Shanghai Museum, The Bund, French Concession District and Xintiandi. At night, transfer back to hotel.

The Jade Buddha Monastery

Founded in 1882, this active Chan (Zen) Buddhist monastery houses two jade Buddha statues imported from Burma by an abbot, Hui Gen, during a pilgrimage to Tibet. The two precious jade Buddha statues are not only rare cultural relics but also impressive porcelain artworks carved entirely out of whole white jade.

Yu Yuan Garden

Located at the center of Shanghai's Old City, the Yu Yuan Garden is one of the most lavish and exquisite Chinese gardens in the region. Established in 1559, this classical garden was created by Pan Yunduan who spent nearly 20 years building a garden that would please his parents in their old age.

Shanghai Old Street

Adjacent to the Yuyuan Garden, step back in time to old Shanghai as you stroll through the Shanghai Old Street (Fangbin Road). The street is divided into two sections, eastern and western.

 

The eastern section retains characteristics of the late Qing Dynasty. The houses have checkered windows and swing wooden board doors. The roofs have upturned eaves, laced rain pipes and upturned eaves.

 

The western section contains Ming and Qing style architecture. Myriad of antique shops, restaurants and teahouses are sure to transport you back to the original Shanghai.

Shanghai Museum

A showcase of Chinese civilization recounted via 120,000 exhibits, this intelligently designed museum will guide you through the pages of Chinese history.

 

With a high-quality collection of ceramics, paintings and calligraphy along with a famous collection of Ancient Chinese Bronzes, it's no wonder why this museum continues to be one of Shanghai's most highlighted sensations.

The Bund

Originally a towpath for dragging barges of rice, the Bund gets its Anglo-Indian name from the embankments built up to discourage flooding (in Hindi, a bund is an embankment). Now, the Bund is Mainland China's most iconic concession-era backdrop and Shanghai's standout spectacle.

Take a stroll along the elevated riverside promenade. Or, take a boat trip down the Huangpu River and survey the aristocratic architecture of the Bund and the brash steel and glass horizon of Pudong.

French Concession, Xintiandi

Shanghai's most notable reputation "Paris of the East" evolved from the French Concession. Leafy lanes, European villas, and gardens now lined the streets of this historical area.

 

Today, the district has transformed itself into a chic and fashionable area housing the Xintiandi outdoor entertainment, shopping and dining complex.
