I'm Sue, the WISE & INTELLIGENT Guru of Hong Kong :) I'm a fun multilinguist LEGAL EAGLE (speaking Mandarin/Cantonese/English/French) and I am witty, smart, fun and kind. My tours are SMALL, FOCUSED & COSY. I love sharing and learning about different cultures. I've travelled through 50+ countries and I know what tourists love. I love everything that has to do with Hong Kong. Some people compare Hong Kong with Beijing, Shanghai, or Singapore and say those cities are better. NO, NO, NO, that is so not true. Hong Kong has everything and it is the best. Come join me on my tours, where you would learn so much more about Hong Kong, that no other tours could compare! Let me show you Hong Kong with many wise giggles & fun laughs!

Tour description

URBAN LOCAL Living in HK Eastern District + Monster Building - Route NOT OVERLAPPING any HK Introduction Tour
Hello travelers! I'm Sue, the wise guru from HK :)

This tour will take you through Quarry Bay and Taikoo, where we will explore URBAN living in HK, where old meets new and the crowded run-down residential behemoths will meet spacious high-end urban living.  And, all against the backdrop of the skyscrapers within HK's 2nd Commercial District, Quarry Bay.
All questions on domestic immigrant  workers, HK housing prices, HK schooling system, pet keeping and local wedding etiquettes would be discussed and answered, with no stone unturned.
As case in point, I will also take you to hidden endroits, so that you can connect with this city like a true local!
Navigating through narrow streets, there would be plenty of street food and we would also visit the very instagrammable "Monster Building", which is popular with tourists, and whose structure inspired locations in movies like Transformers: Age of Extinction and Ghost in the Shell and music videos like " Labyrinth" by Mondo Grosso. 

Itinerary:

  • Quarry Bay MTR Station
  • Monster building (World's densest residential building)
  • Tiniest Turtle Jelly Restaurant
  • New Fleshy Buildings Next to the Old
  • Taikoo Shing "Japanese HUB"
  • Seafront Boardwalk (optional, where time allows)
