Have you ever wondered the history of this dynamic city? This journey back in time allows you to explore the past of Hong Kong. This tour offers a glimpse into the city's colourful heritage, featuring a tram ride and a stroll through the old town.
Your adventure begins at Central MTR Station, where you'll board a traditional Ding Ding Tram. You'll then explore Possession Street, the very spot where the British first claimed possession of the island in 1841. Your exploration continues with a visit to the Man Mo Temple, a Grade 1 status historic building since 1994 and officially declared a monument in 2010. To pause for a moment’s respite under its giant hanging incense coils makes for a pleasant contrast with the hectic pace of the nearby financial district.
