Hong Kong Tour

Start with a ride on the iconic Star Ferry as you cross Victoria Harbour, one of Hong Kong’s greatest assets and a jewel that people marvel at no matter how many times they visit the city.  Next is a ride on the Peak Tram which is the World's steepest funicular railway, pulled by steel cables, the tram climbs 373 metres (about 1,200 feet) and is so steep that the buildings you pass look like they're leaning. Looking down from Victoria Peak, you'll be amazed by the spectacular view of the surrounding city skyline, the world-famous Victoria Harbour and Kowloon, towering skyscrapers and peaceful green hillsides.  From Victoria Peak head onwards to the south side of the Island, continue your tour with a visit to Aberdeen, once a home to hundreds of people living on fishing junks and Sampans it’s now juxtaposed against a modern high-rise community and Typhoon Shelter. Now the area is more akin to a Luxury Marina than the days of the “floating village” with only a few remaining signs of what once was. An optional 15minutes sampan ride can be arranged into the typhoon shelter for a close-up view of waterborne life. (At own expense). You will pass through picturesque Repulse Bay with the option to stop off on your way to Stanley, a popular market town on the sunny south side of Hong Kong Island. Spend the remainder of your tour exploring Stanley's relaxed ambience and markets where bargain buys have made it world famous and a further stroll along the promenade leads you to the tiny Tin Hau Temple of the rock side overlooking the bay.

Lantau Island is almost twice the size of Hong Kong Island and is one of the best loved outlying islands. The island is known for its un spoilt countryside, virgin hills and lush green valleys.  With the development of the Ngong Ping Cable Car and Ngong Ping Village, the island has become a big attraction in Hong Kong.  En Route to Lantau Island, you will pass the famous Tsing Ma Bridge. This is an engineering marvel and is known as the longest road/rail suspension bridge in the world. Hop on the Ngong Ping Cable Car, a stunning 5.7-km ride up a mountainside, the 22-minute journey offers breath-taking panoramic views encompassing the airport, South China Sea, lush mountains and fishing village, and the awe-inspiring Giant Buddha statue (also known as Tian Tan Buddha). Upon arrival at the top, hop off your cable car and walk through the culturally themed Ngong Ping Village before reaching Po Lin Precious Lotus Monastery is the principal center of Buddhism in Hong Kong and was built by three monks who originally called it Da Maopeng until 1924. The Monastery is home to a large bell that is rung 108 times per day to ‘relieve 108 vexations.  Above the Monastery you cannot miss the imposing Bronze Statue of Buddha looking out across the mountains. The world’s largest outdoor bronze Buddha (26 meters high), make the steep climb up the steps to the Buddha for a view across Lantau Island is truly breath taking.
