Mention Hong Kong and most visitors think of soaring skyscrapers, streets lined with glitzy malls and luxury boutiques, and almost any cuisine you can imagine served up in its thousands of restaurants and bars. It’s certainly that, but before Hong Kong flourished into a modern metropolis, it was a humble fishing village, and even today, despite land reclamation, the sea is never far away.
With more than 250 islands that make up Hong Kong, many of them uninhabited, escaping the city’s hustle and bustle is easier than you think. Venture beyond Kowloon and Hong Kong Island to one of these islands, and you'll soon encounter a more laid-back way of living, where locals greet each other by name and get together for tea, and uphold traditions you thought were long gone. So, get out of the urban centre, and discover a different side of Hong Kong that’s as action-packed or serene as you want it to be.
This tour, we are NOT taking you to the Popular Sightseeing Points, NOT going to Shopping Mall, Neither Theme park, HOWEVER you will experience more in-depth, to become a local HongKonger during this journey
Tai O Fishing Village - With roots tracing all the way back to the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), Tai O Fishing Village oozes history and heritage. Home to the Tanka people, a community of fishermen who traditionally built their homes on stilts above tidal flats, the village is a must-visit for anyone travelling to Lantau. Boats navigate the channel between houses, stirring up the smell of the sea and offering great photo ops. But Tai O has so much more to offer than snaps for your Instagram feed. Some entrepreneurial locals have turned their stilted homes into restaurants and cafes including Solo, which serves a range of teas, specialty coffee and homemade cakes. Our lunch will pick one of the famous seafood restaurant, try the best seafood in local place.
Watching over Hong Kong like a god incarnate, the Tian Tan Buddha is a stunning statue that stands 34 metres high. The Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery are a major draw for Buddhist pilgrims.

We will spend time here to explore more if you are Buddhist pilgrims.
