Historic Kowloon

Take this tour to visit the world famous "No Man's Land"; experience the daily life of Hong Kong's housewives at the wet market, learn the basic concepts of the mystic Chinese geomancy of Fung Shui and see how popular the "Wish Granting god" is.

Itinerary
Kowloon Walled City Park - The Kowloon Walled City Park occupies one of the most historic sites in the territory. Once strategically located at the north-eastern corner of the Kowloon peninsula, it was used by imperial officials from the Chinese feudal dynasty when Hong Kong ceased to be under the British rule. This was once called the "No Man's Land" because after the Qing Dynasty was overthrown and the Republic of China was founded, neither the Chinese or British government, nor the Hong Kong Colonial office wants to lay their hands on it.

Wong Tai Sin Temple - This unique temple has 3 religions under one roof: Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Wong Tai Sin is the most popular Taoist god worshipped in Hong Kong and also known as "wish granting god" as many people ask their fortune and have their wishes fulfilled by him by using "chims" and "Buddha's lips" wooden blocks.

Fresh Produce Market - is where Hong Kong housewives do their daily shopping for food. They pick their favourites from stalls selling fresh produce, poultry and fish. Now is the best time of the year to try some of the fresh tropical fruits such as Lychee, Longan or even the strong pungent Durain. Ask the seller and they will recommend some sweet and juicy ones for you.
