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

SMALL GROUP - SHEUNG WAN - a vibrant and eclectic neighbourhood with a rich mix of old and new
Hello travelers! I'm Sue, the wise guru from HK :)
In this tour, we will visit Shueng Wan, including Tai Ping Shan Street. The place that was hit by a bubonic plaque in 1894, and the exact same place which is now glorified by TimeOut as the 7th coolest street in the World.
We will also talk about Dr Sun Yat-Sen, our leader who overthrown the Qing Dynasty and set up the Republic of China, as well as Ai Weiwei, the Chinese artist that influenced HK's street art scene.   To top it all up, why not visit our city's hippest and coolest tourist chainstore GOD and take a picture against the HK Wall, another IG sensation for the hip and young?
The old and the new side by side within a stone throw... Where can you get this, except in HK, the Pearl of the Orient? Join me and discover more...
To top it all up, we will take the Tramway for a short ride to experience HK's cheapest and oldest transport (at 3HKD/pax) [If time permits]

  • Wing Lok Street (Dry Seafood Street) walk along Wing Lok Street and Bonham Strand and you will find them lined with specialty shops selling rare and expensive dried seafood.

  • PMQ (Police Married Quarters) (Outside/Inside visit, if time permits) a Grade 3 Historial Building, a mixed-use arts and design venue now, but a site which, after damage during WWII, was repurposed as quarters for married and unmarried junior policemen.
