The Hong Kong Island Tour is one that should not be missed. During the tour, we will visit the Peak which rises 373 meters from the ground. The Peak offers a stunning bird’s-eye view of the surrounding city skyline, the world-famous Victoria Harbor and Kowloon. Following the visit to the Peak, we will travel to Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay which are fronted by one of Hong Kong’s most beautiful beaches. Then it's on to Aberdeen, a lively, floating fishing village filled with junks and sampans, a number of which support a famous giant floating Chinese restaurant. The last stop of the tour will bring you to Stanley Market, where a relaxed ambience, seaside location and bargain buys in an open air environment make it a popular attraction for both locals and visitors. The Lantau Monastery & Tai O Fishing Village
Visit the world’s tallest outdoor seated bronze Buddha, which sits serenely atop Ngong Ping plateau amid the spectacular mountain scenery of Lantau Island. The Po Lin Monastery, located nearby, is a sacred spot for devout Buddhists in Hong Kong and where tour guests will enjoy a delicious vegetarian lunch. Following lunch, we will journey to Tai O on Lantau Island, distinguished by the stilt houses, tiny shops, shrines and ancient temples that form an fascinating mosaic of a traditional Chinese fishing village. Tai O is inhabited mainly by the Tanka people, descendants of Hong Kong’s first settlers. One Day Tour of Macau
On July 15, 2005, “The Historic Centre of Macau’ was successfully inscribed as a World Heritage Site.

One Day Tour of Shenzhen

Shenzhen is a center of foreign investment and, since the late 1970s, has been one of the fastest growing cities in the world. It is also the busiest port in China after Shanghai. Shenzhen was one of the first four Special Economy Zones in China established in 1980. The tour will travel to the Dafen Oil Painting Village, Exhibition of Terracotta Warriors & Horses and the China Folk Culture Villages. Architecture Tour of Hong Kong & Kowloon Peninsula
Hong Kong offers a wealth of architectural influences and styles just waiting to be discovered. Explore Hong Kong’s Central District and learn the evolution of the city through its buildings and the influences of Feng Shui, the ancient Chinese scientific practice based on selecting or configuring a site, structure or interior so as to harmonize with the spiritual forces that inhabit it. Ride the longest outdoor escalator to Hollywood Road, where your guide will point out the special characteristics that make each structure unique as well as discussing its relevant history. After lunch at a famous Peking Duck restaurant, the group will visit Wong Tai Sin, one of Hong Kong’s most popular temples, and the Jade Market, which features 400 vendors selling jades of all types.
