Debark Tour - Highlights of Hong Kong

Description

Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.

WHAT YOU WILL VISIT:
Man Mo Temple
One of the oldest temples in the region, built in 1848 in the early years of British rule, Man Mo Temple has been rebuilt several times, but much of the original architecture remains. The name honors Man Cheong, the god of literature, and Kwan Yu (Mo), the god of war. Incense coils hang from the roof, perfuming the air, and a pair of elaborately carved 19th-century chairs are a temple focal point. Fortune-teller booths are found around the temple's perimeter.

Victoria Peak
Towering at approximately 1,900 feet, Victoria Peak has been one of the city's most exclusive enclaves since colonial times, when the cool, fresh air high above the city was desired by the rich and famous before air-conditioning was invented. Today, views of the skyline, Victoria Harbour and the hills of the New Territories make for dramatic photographs. Property on The Peak is reported to be the most expensive real estate in the world.

Aberdeen Fishing Village Cruise
This picturesque village is home to thousands of "water people" who live aboard their junks and sampans (flat-bottomed boats). Board a sampan for a short cruise of the calm waters of the Inner Harbour, which offers the opportunity to admire the countless colorful boats that bob in the water. Today, the village bustles with activity and has developed into a lively waterfront area. But transportation is still done the traditional way, and you'll zigzag your way through the waterways that connect this close-knit boating community.

WHAT YOU WILL SEE ALONG THE WAY:
Sit back and enjoy an approximately 35-minute scenic drive from port through the Cross-Harbour Tunnel to vibrant and bustling Hong Kong Island. As you drive to the top of Victoria Peak, gaze upon glistening Victoria Harbour and the Kowloon Peninsula. En route to Aberdeen Fishing Village, drive down the Wongneichong Gap Road and view Happy Valley Racecourse and the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Then, journey past Repulse Bay, the island's most spectacular beach resort, as you approach Stanley Market.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITY:
Victoria Peak is the highest point on Hong Kong island. Focus your lens on the captivating skyline, Victoria Harbour and the hills of the New Territories for dramatic pictures.

Lunch at your own expense at Stanley Market before transferring to the airport.
