Things to do in Hong Kong, China: The Best Walking Tours

September 7, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

This was a great tour to do as there was only the three of us and we could go at our own pace and ask as many questions as we wanted. Our guide, Leeong (sorry I don't know the spelling) was friendly, and knowledgeable. She answered all our questions and gave great shopping advice, especially on bargaining. We covered all the market areas listed in detail - except the bird garden was closed for 21 days due to a disease scare. The walking was easy and the time went very fast. I would recommend this tour.
