What makes Private Walking Tour: Hidden Gems of Old Hong Kong Island a unique experience ?
Your tour guide will meet you at Quarry Bay MTR Station (Exit A, inside the station concourse area) then will pay a visit to the “Montane Mansion” or what people call as “Monster Building” – an architecture complex composed of five old mansions which resemble a walled city, it has recently become the loved location for filming like “Transformer IV”.
We will go on our journey by taking the tram (ding ding) to the area of North Point, and will visit Chun Yeung Street wet market – the market retains a local feel where the locals still shop. You can’t imagine that a market on a narrow street can let a tram run through.
Drop by a 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.
Follow by the visit to Sunbeam Theatre – one of the remarkable landmark theatres that showcases Cantonese opera.
We will then ride the “ding ding” or public bus further down to another area of “Causeway Bay” 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. After all, let’s relax a bit and have a try at one of our most popular Traditional eats – wonton noodles before the tour ends.
