Cultural Tapestry: A Journey Through History

Noon-Day Gun Firing Ceremony

Duration: 5 hours

Embark on an unforgettable half-day tour that weaves Hong Kong's rich colonial and Chinese heritage together. Begin at Victoria Peak, a landmark once reserved for foreigners, where Chinese residents faced challenges in settling. Experience the iconic Peak Tram, which replaced the traditional sedan chair, offering stunning views as you ascend.

Next, visit Lin Fa Gong in Tai Hang, a beautifully hexagonal temple embodying Chinese heritage. Locals pray for luck and prosperity at this vibrant site, linked to the Fire Dragon Dance and showcases a fascinating blend of rituals.

Explore the historic Noon Day Gun ceremony in Causeway Bay, a colonial tradition that began as a salute to the Tai Pan. Saunter along the Mid-Level Escalator, the world’s longest outdoor escalator, and drop by the former police headquarters – Tai Kwun. Peek inside an old jail cell—don’t worry, I won’t lock you in!

Experience the lively atmosphere of Graham Street Market, a 160-year-old open-air wet market, before taking the Star Ferry to Kowloon for a delightful dim sum lunch. After lunch, return to the hotel or explore at your own pace.
