Hong Kong Heritage And History Tour

If you’ve ever wanted to get under the skin of Hong Kong, this is the tour for you. Lace up your walking shoes and get ready for a deep dive into its fascinating history. The Central district is the very heart of Hong Kong City, and your guided tour takes place right here among the forest of soaring skyscrapers. The maze of streets reveals historic buildings galore in a range of architectural styles, including Gothic Revival, classic Colonial and elegant Neoclassical. Pause to admire sprawling Statue Square, and discover how Norman Foster’s strikingly modern HSBC HQ building adheres to the city’s ancient feng shui principles. Visit the neoclassical Supreme Court and see the Former French Mission Building, with its Instagrammable red-brick facade and moss-green window shutters that give a real flavor of old Hong Kong. The tour also takes in the Gothic Revival confection that is St John’s Cathedral, the oldest Anglican cathedral in the Far East, dating back to the mid-19th century. Other highlights include lush Hong Kong Park and historic Hollywood Road, home of Tai Kwun, aka the former Central Police Station Compound, with its beautiful courtyard and original prison cells to explore.
