What makes Half-Day Hong Kong Walking Tour: Origin of Fragrant Harbour a unique experience ?

Take a bus to Pok Fu Lam for snacks or homemade dim sum. In the old village, hear tales about how Hong Kong got its name (literally, Fragrant Harbour) and perhaps search for the origin of the ‘fragrant stream,’ which can still be found here despite being threatened by urban development. During your heritage walk through the atmospheric village, learn about Hong Kong’s primary university, dairy farm, and other ‘firsts’ long forgotten.

A ride on the Peak Tram up to Lugard Road at the Peak where a scenic promenade showcases the view from 1,312 feet (400 meters) above Hong Kong. See bountiful flora and historical monuments en route while you learn about the original coal-fired tramway before it became electrically powered in the 1920s.
