Involves minimal physical effort and is typically associated with leisurely activities. Activities are low-intensity or last less than a few hours each day.
After breakfast, you meet your guide in the hotel lobby and head to Victoria Peak. You ascend via the famous Peak Tram to the Sky Terrace 428, the highest viewing platform in Hong Kong, where you take in 360-degree panoramic views of Victoria Harbor and the city skyline. Next, you drive approximately 25 minutes to the southern side of the island to visit Repulse Bay, known for its golden sands and clear waters. You continue to Aberdeen Harbor, a historic shelter famous for the floating community that lived there in the 1960s and 1970s.
Following lunch, you visit the Wong Tai Sin Temple, a scenic religious center home to Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism that is renowned for making wishes come true. You then wander through the nearby Nan Lian Garden, a Tang Dynasty-style park that cuts through the Diamond Hill high-rises. Your day concludes at the Avenue of Stars, a 400-meter promenade along the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront offering spectacular views of the harbor.
Today you travel to Lantau Island via the Tsing Ma Bridge, which connects Tsing Yi with Ma Wan. This structure stands as the world’s seventh-longest suspension bridge and the longest suspension bridge capable of handling trains. It spans 41 meters (135 feet) in width and measures about 2.2 kilometers in total length.
You continue to the Po Lin Monastery, originally founded in 1906 and initially known as "The Big Hut" (Tai Mao Pung). The main temple houses three bronze statues of the Buddha, representing his past, present, and future lives, as well as many Buddhist scriptures. You then visit the Tian Tan Buddha, one of the five large Buddha statues in China. Located near the monastery, the statue symbolizes the harmonious relationship between man and nature, people and religion.
Your last stop today is Tai O Village. Located on the western coast of Lantau Island, this is a quaint and picturesque village with traditional stilt houses predominant of the old Southern Chinese fishing villages. It is one of the few remaining places where you can still see them in Hong Kong. After you explore the village, you drive back to the hotel.
After breakfast, you meet your guide in the hotel lobby and drive to Ocean Park, located on the southern side of Hong Kong Island. The park covers more than 870,000 square meters and is divided into two major attraction areas, the Waterfront and the Summit. A 1.5 km-long cable car connects the two sections. Besides being a fun amusement park, the site hosts exhibits and observatories and serves as an education center. You transfer back to the hotel after the tour. The afternoon is open for you to explore Hong Kong on your own.

Our guide and driver were very good with their knowledge and were very helpful with our questions. It was a very pleasant visit that would have been impossible to do on our own. Hotels and restaurants were fantastic. The special places we got to go to, like the kitchens, were great. Enjoyed the entire trip!
