Half-Day Hong Kong Walking Tour: Origin of Fragrant Harbour

This walking tour of Hong Kong involves lite hiking and getting around by public transportation as you visit the attractions. Ride the tramway to the Peak and make a downslope hiking from Pokfulam Reservoir to an ancient village at Pok Fu Lam to seek out the origins of Hong Kong (translated as Fragrant Harbor). The route covers all must-do must-see lists and off-the-beaten-path attractions.  Guests will be taken to taste the signature food of the area and informed of the hidden stories there.
