The Tian Tan Buddha was erected in 1993. Facing north to look over the Chinese people, this 34 metres high statue is an impressive masterpiece and took 12 years to complete.

You can see the right hand is raised to deliver blessings to all and when you climb the 268 steps for a closer look at this remarkable statue, you can see he is surrounded by six devas.

Saucisson? Salami? Bratwurst?

Evidence suggests that sausages were already popular both among the ancient Greeks and Romans.

The Chinese sausage làcháng, was first mentioned in 589 BC. The picture below was taken on one of our Hong Kong Foodie tasting tours. Our Hong Kong food guide Mel is a big fan.

Mel says that the làcháng is a very useful ingredient in the daily cantonese cooking. Our guests love to learn about it on our Hong Kong food tour. Be warned though, you can not eat it 'raw' like a Salami - it HAS to be cooked or else it will make you sick.

When we take you on a Hong Kong food tour, we want to introduce you to Hong Kong's most delicious local food. We think it is much nicer to share the food with friends than eating alone!

The University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)came with us on a tour! We had a fun crowd of 30 students in total and plenty of food to share!

Because most of the Michelin star restaurants that we take you too on our Hong Kong foodie tasting tour are small family restaurants, we ended up having a part of the restaurants just for ourselves.

We then visited the local wet market and the students were quick to buy some fresh fruits for themselves.

some delicious fruit for a hong kong foodie

When you book Hong Kong culinary tours with us, we not only take you on a tasting  journey across Hong Kong, we also talk about anything food related.

For example, you will learn why some bird's nests are red and what fish maw is used for.

Your Hong Kong food tour is full of information on traditional Chinese medicine. Your Hong Kong food guide will also tell you why this huge mushroom is called the "Mushroom of immortality". Our Hong Kong culinary tours are available as small group tours and as private food tours Hong Kong.

When you walk or drive through the streets on a Hong Kong city tour, try to pay attention to the cars. Not only will you see high end customised cars but you will also see some very interesting number plates.

ask your private tour guide hong kong about the number plates

Interestingly, there is an auction to bid for your favourite number plate - if somebody released it. You can bid for your number plate at an auction at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Whether you are on a private car tour or on a walking tour, ask your Hong Kong tour guide to tell you something about the number plate list below!

your hong kong tour guides have more info about it

When you are on a Hong Kong city tour, you will quickly find out that this amazing city has always been a place of constant change. One of the most interesting changes though is when the famous Kai Tak Airport became the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal!

Built in the 1920s, it was used as an airfield by several flying clubs. During WW II, when Hong Kong fell in the hands of Japan, the runways 13/31 and 07/25 were built.

your hong kong tour guide can tell you about kai tak

After its expansion, Kai Tak Aiport's capacity was planned to handle 24 million passengers a year. However, in 1996 it handled 29.5 million passengers, plus 1.56 million tonnes of freight, making it the third busiest airport in the world in terms of international passenger traffic, and busiest in terms of international cargo throughput. Initially, Kai Tak was far away from residential areas but the expansion of both, the airport and the residential area, made it very close and eventually leading to very high noise pollution AND the famous pictures that we know.

When the government found the present day site to build the Chek Lap Kok airport, Kai Tak was originally thought to be developed into a residential area. However, voices from the public were raised to protect the harbour. After long processes, finally in 2006 blueprints were introduced and today's Kai Tak Cruise Ship Terminal was completed in late 2013 due to re-tendering. The first ship berthed on 12 June 2013.

start your hong kong city tour from kai tak terminal

The terminal has the capacity to berth two large 360-metre (1,180 ft) long vessels, which carry a total of 5,400 passengers and 1,200 crew, as well as anticipating the demands of cruise liners currently on the drawing board.

Should your cruise ship arrive at this terminal, you can start your Hong Kong private tours right there from the terminal! Although, sometimes it might feel like all 6,600 people got off the cruise ship at the same time, don't be alarmed! Your private tour guide Hong Kong will be happy to meet you at the arrivals hall to start your Hong Kong tour.

10 km southwest of Hong Kong we can find "dumbbell Island", the nickname for Cheung Chau. With an area of 2.5 square km, Cheung Chau is home to around 21,000 people and always worth Hong Kong day tours. From Hong Kong Island you have the option to take a 55 minutes ride with the "slow ferry" that gives you outdoor seating for many nice pictures. You can also take the "fast ferry" and have a shorter, airconditioned ride of 35 minutes - which might be preferable especially in the summer months in Hong Kong.

The picturesque harbour is full of Hong Kong activities with fishing vessels, junk trips and sampans going back and forth.

this island is worth the hong kong tour

Cheung Chau can offer a Hong Kong local tourfor all tastes! From windsurfing to Cheung Po Tsai cave over rock carvings and the beautiful Tak Pai temple, which is about 10 min walk away from the pier.

This temple was first built in the 18th century is kept in very good condition after a renovation in 1989. It is devoted to Pak Tai the Taoist god of the sea, who is also known as the Supreme Emperor of the Northern Heaven or the Mysterious Heaven.

hong kong private tours can also be on cheung chau

"Bun is fun" in Cheung Chau! Originally created to celebrate the end of a plague in the Quing Dynasty, now it is an annual festival celebrated in May. The highlight of the Bun Festival is the bun tower climbing competition.

talk to your hong kong tour guides about these acrobats

Don't worry if you miss the Bun Festival. Cheung Chau has other great activities to offer! You can spend the whole day by the beach and enjoy some delicious and fresh seafood in one of the many seafood restaurants in Cheung Chau as a contrast to your Hong Kong city tour.

If you ar looking for different Hong Kong activities, definitely ask your Hong Kong tour guide for a day in Cheung Chau!

Our furry mascot has the right idea! 😃

Thinking of a walking tour Hong Kong, you might have many things like Victoria Peak, Star Ferryor many other touristy places in mind. Thinking food, you might think of Dim Sum, pork bbq or any kind of stir-fry... BUT did you know that Hong Kong is home to some very curious foods that might not be for the faint-hearted? Let's start this nice and easy. Here is our very special TOP 4!

Chicken Feet! Although the appearance is maybe not very appealing and once you get over that it is actually a chicken's feet, you will quickly realise "This does taste like chicken!"  These wrinkly claws are delicious (mostly sold out by 9 AM!!!) in a meal or as a snack on your next BBQ!

Crunchy chicken feet

Pig uterus is up next! Crispy on the outside soft on the inside, this popular snack is easy to find anywhere with street food. However, who could tell it is uterus from the picture???

Popular street food

Snake soup! This is a gourmet dish very popular in winter, is said to be very nutritious and good for one’s spiritual balance as the positive “Yin” energy will combat against the cold, negative “Yang” energy especially during the months of winter. Supposedly, you should eat this in winter with it's warming properties are said to have an adverse effect on the body when combined with warm weather. One can have it shredded or sliced in a soup and guess what? Many people say it tastes like chicken!

Get your hot soup of snake

Geoduck! Pronounced "gooeyduck", it could not be any further from a duck ever! The world's largest burrowing clam might, at first sight, give you the giggles! But once you have overcome this initial reaction seeing this weird thing that looks like it could be the grandchild of "Jabba the Hutt" (and some other things), you can dig in and taste the sweet, clear and tender meat, served raw, seared, sautéed, or as sushi, in soups or hot pots.

Weird shaped clam

So, why not dare try something completely out of the ordinary and create unforgettable memories that will make you smile years later when you think of your Hong Kong city tour?!
