Itinerary

1. Montane Mansion
At 11:00 a.m., our friendly tour guide will meet you at Quarry Bay MTR station exit A (inside the concourse area). MONSTER BUILDING - a fantastic architecture in Quarry Bay consists of 5 connecting buildings that formed an E shaped architecture complex, centered around the courtyard. This giant architecture is a residential complex but the apartment units are small and you can best feel the density of the city when you stand in the courtyard. Each small patio is dotted with wet laundry hanging to dry, lounge chairs for sunning, and flowerpots and a common characteristic of local housing throughout Hong Kong. The facade of the building is rainbow colored, which also make this development more vibrant and lively, made it so popular among photographers for years and is gaining popularity with tourists as well. It has also become a popular filming location for Hollywood blockbusters and the most famous one is "Transformer IV"
Duration: 20 mins
2. Chun Yeung Street
Hop aboard our iconic Ding Ding tram and ride to the vibrant area of North Point. Along the way, we’ll visit CHUN YEUNG STREET WET MARKET —a classic local favorite where you can still feel everyday Hong Kong life, just as it’s always been. And here’s the fun part: you can’t believe it until you see it—this wet market sits on a narrow street where the tram actually runs right through!
Duration: 45 mins
3. North Point
FAMILY-RUN CHINESE EMBROIDERY SLIPPERS STORE - the last few "hand-made Chinese embroidery slippers" store in Hong Kong which was started their business in 1960. They persist in offering "Made in Hong Kong" products. (we only want to explain the history of Hong Kong, it is not an appointed shopping stop)
Duration: 5 mins
4. Causeway Bay
PETTY PERSON BEATING - Further down to another area for a taste of living culture - an ancient tradition of "petty person beating" (da siu yan in Cantonese) - a Chinese folk ritual to dispel evil, particularly the kind brought by enemies. This folk custom is not only included in the intangible cultural heritage but also published in the international book "Time Magazine" and is widely known around the world.
Duration: 25 mins
5. Causeway Bay
FAMOUS WANTON NODDLE RESTAURANT - After all the walking, it's time to treat your taste buds and give your feet a well-deserved break. Prepare to be enchanted by the irresistible aroma and flavors of the renowned wonton noodles and broth. Bite into these delectable bite-sized dumplings, lovingly filled with succulent shrimp and pork. Nestled alongside a bed of perfectly cooked noodles and bathed in a fragrant chicken broth, each spoonful is a symphony of textures and tastes that will transport you to a gastronomic paradise.
Duration: 45 mins
6. Causeway Bay
TRADITIONAL HERBAL TEA SHOP (Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage) - For the last stop, herbal tea has a long history and carries unique folk wisdom and traditional culture. Herbal tea shops can be found everywhere in Hong Kong, and herbal tea has become a staple drink in people’s daily lives. (we only want to explain the history of Hong Kong, it is not an appointed shopping stop)
