Hong Kong's Culture and Heritage Tours
 
Streets of Kowloon Walk (Kowloon Markets)
 

Hong Kong is full of unexpected sights. This guided walk introduces your clients to the living culture of Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok districts where life for many is lived as street level.

The tour begins at the Jade Market, where about 400 stall-owners sell accessories made from the revered green stone. This is a fun place to browse and to buy an inexpensive memento of the visit. Then visit the Tin Hau Temple complex and watch the local senior citizens playing Chinese chess under the shade of the old banyan trees.

They can then join the throng at the Ladies Market where bargain clothes, beauty products and knick-knacks are available. The journey continues to Flower Market, the centre of Hong Kong's wholesale and retail flower business. Then, visit the Yuen Po Street Bird Garden, an attractive Chinese courtyard garden that houses bird sellers and their song birds.
