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.

During your heritage walk through the atmospheric village, learn about Hong Kong's primary university, dairy farm, and other 'firsts' long forgotten.
  2. Peak Tram
    30m · Admission ticket included
    A ride on the Peak Tram up to Lugard Road at the Peak where a scenic promenade showcases the view from 1,312 feet (400 meters) above Hong Kong. See bountiful flora and historical monuments en route while you learn about the original coal-fired tramway before it became electrically powered in the 1920s.
