ITINERARY
Day 1 – (no meals)
Arrival into Hong Kong
You will be met by our local representative upon arrival in Hong Kong and transferred to your hotel
in Kowloon.
Day 2 – (B,L)
Day Trip to Hong Kong Island
Your day will start with a scenic drive to Hong Kong Island via the underwater harbour tunnel,
exiting onto Hong Kong Island in Central which has long been known as the heart of Hong Kong.
Head inland to Victoria Peak funicular railway. The Peak tram is an experience, taking you up past
Hong Kong Island’s skyscrapers where at the top you’ll have views stretching across skyscrapers and
Victoria Harbour all the way to the green hills of the New Territories.
After, head further south of the Island past Repulse Bay, one of Hong Kong’s most popular beaches,
before climbing aboard a sampan boat for a closer look at the famous Aberdeen typhoon shelters
and the old harbour. End aboard the famous Jumbo floating restaurant established in 1976 as a
typhoon shelter shortly after World War II. In 1952 it was converted into the restaurant it is today
and famous for its Cantonese and Dim Sum food.
After lunch head to Stanley village located on Hong Kong Island’s south coast. Popular with locals,
expats and tourists alike, you can find a selection of accessories, jewellery and souvenirs at
reasonable prices hidden in the bazaar. Or if you prefer take time to explore the villages’ bars and
restaurants located along the picturesque waterfront. Murray House, a Victorian-era building built in
the present-day business district of Central in 1846 as officers quarters of the Murray Barracks can
be found nearby having been relocated to Stanley during the 2000s. Tin Hau Temple, one of the
oldest temples in Hong Kong is also a short walk away.
After spending time in Stanley, you’ll be taken back to your hotel in Kowloon for some time to
freshen up and relax before being met by your guide. A short evening walk will take you to the
harbour front where you can view the Symphony of Lights show. Set around the sparkling Victoria
Harbour, discover the world’s largest light and sound show where buildings will light up and flicker
to music. After the show, your guide will walk you back to your hotel.
Day 3 - (B,L)
Day trip to Lantau Island
As Hong Kong’s largest outlying island, Lantau Island is well known among locals for its unspoilt
countryside, lush green valleys and giant outdoor Buddha Statue. You’ll be met by your guide at the
hotel for transportation to Central ferry pier and a short ferry ride across to Mui Wo pier on
Lantau Island. Visit Cheung Sha beach – one of Hong Kong’s longest and most beautiful beaches.
Drive onto Tai O fishing village, home to a fishing community who have built their houses on stilts
above the tidal flats of Lantau Island for generations. You’ll be taken on a guided walking tour
through the alleys allowing you to explore this interesting way of living.
Head onto Po Lin Monastery, once hidden by lush, mountain scenery and made famous when the
extraordinary Tian Tan Buddha Statue was erected in 1993. Sitting 34 metres high and facing north
to look over the Chinese people, this majestic bronze Buddha draws pilgrims from all over Asia.
You’ll visit the Buddha sat atop 268 steps before having a vegetarian lunch in the Monastery – one of
Hong Kong’s most important Buddhist sanctums.
After lunch, return to your hotel for the rest of the day at leisure.
