Hong Kong - 6 days from £698

< Back to main tour

New for 2010

Hong Kong is an exciting and colourful city of dramatic contrasts. Towering skyscrapers and monuments to Hong Kong’s development form the backdrop to the busy harbour, where traditional junks still ply the waters. Street markets remain untouched by western influences and provide a taste of mystique and intrigue.

Itinerary

DAY 1: UK/Hong Kong
Depart on your scheduled flight to Hong Kong.

DAY 2: Hong Kong
On arrival in Hong Kong transfer to your hotel for a four night stay.

DAY 3: Hong Kong Island
This morning we include a sightseeing tour of Hong Kong Island. Start the day with a drive to the top of Victoria Peak, named after Queen Victoria, for a fantastic view down on to the city, the harbour, the surrounding islands and even across to China and Macau. You will also pay a visit to Repulse Bay, where you will find Hong Kong’s most famous beach, with soft sand and water that you can swim in. This is a lovely place to sit and watch the sun set. The Repulse Bay area is easily accessible from the city centre by bus and is also a major centre for shopping and entertainment. Continue to the floating village of Aberdeen, home to a thriving community of 30,000 people, living in a variety of junks, sampans and boats. Aberdeen is also host to some fabulous seafood restaurants.

DAYS 4 & 5 Hong Kong
Hong Kong is incredibly easy to get around, thanks to excellent public transport links. Why not take the famous Star Ferry across Victoria Harbour between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon peninsula for fantastic views of the Hong Kong skyline. In Kowloon take a walk along the Avenue of the Stars, Hong Kong’s alternative to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. This is an ideal vantage point to enjoy the nightly spectacle of a Symphony of Lights, where more than 35 buildings on both sides of the harbour light up in time to music. Search lights and laser beams illuminate the sky for this fascinating performance, recorded as the world’s Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show in the Guinness Book of World Records. A former British colony, Hong Kong was handed over to the People’s Republic of China in 1997. Traditional Chinese culture is all around, mixed with British colonial influences, meaning that amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life, many customs of the old days still survive and there is much to admire. The wonderful Western Market, built in 1906 and renovated in 1991, is full of shops selling art, crafts and fabrics, with a restaurant on the top floor.

To see more of Hong Kong, why not take one of the optional excursions on offer? Take a day trip into the Western Territories, a rural area which offers a glimpse into more traditional Chinese life. Another option is to take a trip across the Pearl River to the former Portugese colony of Macau, handed back to the Chinese in 1999.

DAY 6 Hong Kong/UK
Transfer to the airport for your return flight to the UK.
