This tour takes you through the many sites of Hong Kong’s New Territories, where authentic cultural traditions have remained strong throughout the years. With your expert guide, see the wonders of traditional Chinese architecture with a visit to Chuk Lam Shim Yuen Monastery. Housing three of Hong Kong’s largest statues of Buddha, this monastery attracts many devout worshippers on a daily basis.

Maneuver through Route Twisk toward Tai Mo Shan, the highest peak of Hong Kong, where you can enjoy wonderful panoramic views. Stop en route to admire views of the Lam Chuen Valley, the Shek Kong military airport and beyond. On the way to Fan Ling, pass Kam Tin, the origin of the largest indigenous Tang Clan in Hong Kong. Stop and rest at the historical Lotus Café and enjoy some delightful local refreshments (at own expense).

Afterwards, discover the market culture of the New Territories with a visit to Luen Wo Market. The old market was built in the 1950s to serve the surrounding farms and villages. It now stands empty as it was replaced in 2002 by a new air-conditioned version. Immerse yourself in local life as you browse through fresh produce and herbs at this multi-story wet market. Visit Tang Chung Ling Ancestral Hall, one of the largest ancestral halls in Hong Kong. Admire the interior decor marked by fine wood carvings, polychrome plaster moldings and murals of auspicious motifs, truly reflecting the fine craftsmanship and architectural stylings of China.

Next, visit Lo Wai, the first of five renowned walled villages in Lung Yeuk Tau. Built by the Tang Clan in the 13th century, this village has basic features like a drinking well and a raised platform serving as a watchtower. Finish your Hong Kong cultural tour with a home visit to one of the oldest brick house in the village. At the end of the tour, complimentary drop-off to original departure points is provided.
