Itinerary
Get ready for a day full of adventure as we take you on a journey through some of the most iconic and culturally significant landmarks in Hong Kong. Our first stop is the breathtaking Nan Lian Gardens, a 3.5-hectare oasis that boasts a stunning Tang Dynasty landscape garden layout. As you stroll along the circular route, you'll be mesmerized by the intricate details of each stone, tree, rock, and water element that have been landscaped according to specific rules and regulations.
Next, we'll visit the serene Chi Lin Nunnery, where Buddhist nuns meditate and seek enlightenment. This sprawling temple covers 33,000 square meters and features a variety of halls, lotus ponds, and a five-floor thousand-buddha pagoda. You'll have the chance to admire the stunning statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, Guanyin, and other Buddhas as you soak up the peaceful atmosphere of this sacred place. Then, we will take MTR to Wong Tai Sin temple.
Our next stop is the famous Wong Tai Sin Temple, a Taoist temple that attracts tens of thousands of worshippers each year. This temple is not only popular among locals but also well-known among Chinese from all over the world. You'll have the opportunity to make a wish and have your fortune told by shaking a bamboo cylinder containing bamboo fortune sticks. You can then exchange your fortune stick for a piece of paper with a number and find one of the many soothsayers next to the temple who will interpret the fortune for you. After that, we will take MTR to Mongkok area.
Afterwards, we'll take a stroll through the bustling Sneaker Street, where you'll find a vast selection of sneakers from all the big brand names. Don't hesitate too long if you find something you like, as these sneakers have a fast turnover and may be sold out later!
Finally, we'll visit the famous Ladies Market, the most popular open-air market in Kowloon. You'll have the chance to browse and shop for a wide variety of products and souvenirs, from T-shirts and watches to handbags and iPod/iPhone covers. Join us on this unforgettable tour and discover the best of Hong Kong's culture, history, and shopping!
