One of Hong Kong's greatest charms is its endless contrast between the old and the new, the east and the west. The best way to savour this blend of culture is to explore the city on foot. This three-hour guided tour in Hong Kong is definitely one of the top things to do in Hong Kong. Our expert guide will guide you into the heart of the downtown, where historic buildings share space with ultra-modern office buildings, and into the back streets of the old city that was then known as Victoria.
As the heart of Hong Kong city, the Central district has been developing under British colonial ruling since 1841. The city grew rapidly under British rule, in what was a fishing community to a metropolis in the early 20th century. Extensive reclamations and development projects were carried out during different periods. Although the outlook of Hong Kong is ever changing, many historical buildings and structures still survive in Central district. This Hong Kong heritage walk takes you around the historic buildings that are nestled amid stunning skyscrapers. Our expert guide will explain what are the changes have taken place, and how the ancient art of feng shui influences modern architecture design. You will see the architecture from well-known architects such as Lord Norman Foster, IM Pei and Kohn Pedersen Fox, the street names that reveal the interesting history of Hong Kong.
Highlights of our guided walk include the Statue Square, the Court of Final Appeal, St John’s Anglican Cathedral, and more importantly, a knowledgeable guide who can tell good stories and answer your queries throughout the walking tour.
