AM - Wing Chun, Yau Ma Tei Theatre and the Temple 

The day will begin with a practical demonstration of Wing Chun, a style of close-combat Kung Fu developed by Shaolin Monks in the 18th Century. After trying out the martial art made famous by the legendary Bruce Lee, enjoy a visit to one of the oldest eateries in Hong Kong, Mido Café.

Pay a visit to the fascinating Yau Ma Tei Theatre. With its Art Deco exterior, attractive pitched roof and gable walls you’ll get a taste of the history, architecture and atmosphere of this performance venue dedicated to Cantonese opera.

Take a look at the fascinating and historic Red Brick Building before visiting a temple dedicated to Tin Hau, the Goddess of the Sea. Temples that honour her can be found in abundance in Chinese coastal communities and Hong Kong is no exception.

In the afternoon, we recommended visiting the Yau Ma Tei Wholesale Fruit Market. Afterwards, stop by a Chinese embroidery shop to witness the gorgeous and intricately detailed red Qun Gua, which is a traditional two-piece wedding dress, being made.

Next, take a coach to the Hong Kong Museum of History. The museum was established in July 1975 when the City Museum and Art Gallery was split into the Hong Kong Museum of History and Hong Kong Museum of Art.

For dinner, try a local restaurant and take a stroll along Temple Street, which is a bustling night market filled with vendors selling all sorts of items.

Finally, end the evening with a boat ride on Victoria Harbour. Climb aboard a junk boat and enjoy the spectacular view of the city skyline from the water.

Continue to Aberdeen Fishing Village, which ties the past with the present. Wooden sampans and junks float nestled amidst skyscrapers and yachts, and women dress in traditional clothes as families pull in the day’s catch. Lunch at a local restaurant.

Lunch at a nearby restaurant.

Afterwards,  head over to the beautiful Repulse Bay, named after a British warship that helped defend the settlement from pirates.

AM/PM - Day trip to Lantau Island 

You will be travelling by coach for a full-day tour of Lantau Island. Located at the mouth of the Pearl River, Lantau is Hong Kong's largest island, offering breathtaking natural beauty, beaches, and charming fishing villages just an hour away from the city.

The tour starts at Tai O, where the Tanka people, a local fishing community, have built houses on stilts above the tidal flats. These connected houses have earned the nickname "Venice of the Orient" due to their close relationship with the water.

Afterwards, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before visiting Po Lin Monastery, one of the most significant sites in Hong Kong.

Enjoy the fragrant flowers and birds fluttering through the manicured garden, then hike up to the top of the 34-meter tall, bronze Tian Tan Buddha statue.

Hike back down from the Big Buddha to Ngong Ping village. Catch a 360-cable car from here back to the main island, watching the picturesque mountainside soar by below. Return to your hotel at the end of the day.

One of the park’s newest attractions, a Polar Adventure, awaits discovery. Hop on a bobsled to careen through the North and South Poles, passing an extraordinary range of exotic polar wildlife on the way.
