I was born and raised in Hong Kong. I am a licensed tour guide and a solo traveller who explored over 20 countries. I lived in South America for a year, and studied in Europe for a year. I have a Sociology degree. When I have been to a new country, the local tour guide showed me the local side of the place. I hope I can be your guide to show your the hidden side of HK. Welcome to HK!

Tour description

[by reservations only]
Most  tourists visited Hong Kong Island and Kowloon but rarely visit New Territories. People asked me where are the buildings over 300 years old. The British colonial period started in 1841 (only 182 years ago). What did Hong Kong look like in the pre-colonial period?

In this tour, I will take you to the ancestral hall of the traditional Chinese House. I will also show you the tradition of worshipping god in a temple.
 

Route: 
1. Traditional Walled Village - Tsang Tai Uk

One of Hong Kong’s best-preserved walled villages. You can still see the original granite, bricks and timber used to build the village. Guard towers were built on each of the four corners to protect against pirates, who ran rampant in Hong Kong until the early 20th century. This is still a living village.


2. Sha Tin Che Kung Temple

This is a temple of 300 years old. Was built before the colonial period. You will learn about the traditional culture

3. The Old House at Wong Uk Village 
I will show you how to appreciate the fine mural paintings and traditional decorations on the traditional house. 
 Wong Uk Village was founded during the reign of Qianlong (1736-1795) in the Qing dynasty by the Wong clan from Xingning county in Guangdong. In the 19th century, the village became a major trading station for travellers and traders plying the route between Guangdong and Kowloon and prospered until the late 19th century.


4. Hong Kong Heritage Museum
- Story of Bruce Lee 

- Intangible Heritage of Hong Kong

We will meet at Tai Wai Station Exit B. In front of DHL express.
Tai Wai Station is on East Rail Line of the MTR.
