Your guide meets you at your cruise ship’s dock and takes you to your first destination, a tram from the early 1900s. Step on board to ride the tram and imagine the Hong Kong of last century. Then disembark at Sheung Wan and being your walking tour on Bonham Road. Check out street vendors that sell dried squid and other seafood, then wander over to Cat Street where you can find bargains at the many galleries and antique shops. Make your way to Hollywood Road to peruse shops that carry historical artifacts, Chinese furniture and porcelain wares. Then stop in the largest Man Mo Temple in Hong Kong, decorated with large incense spirals hanging from the ceilings and images of Chinese deities. Leaving the temple, check out a feat of engineering: the world’s longest covered escalator — the Central Escalator, which measures 2,500 feet (800 meters) long and transports people around hilly Hong Kong. Experience one of Hong Kong’s oldest food markets selling delicious Southeast Asian fruits such as rambutan, mangosteen or durian, then head into Cha Chaan Teng, a cafe that serves up tasty traditional Chinese pastries and Hong Kong style milk tea. Your authentic experience of Hong Kong winds down as your guide escorts you back to your ship.
