Day 1 Hong Kong Arrival
Highlights: Airport Pick Up
welcome to Hong Kong , Pearl of the Orient! Your local guide is ready to pick you up at the arrival hall of the airport, and transfer you to hotel. The rest of today is to recover from long flight, or explore this vibrant and bustling metropolis on your own.
Orientation idea: It is one of the most popular things to do in Hong Kong to spend ten minutes riding the humble Star Ferry which sails between Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island( daily 6:30am-11:30pm). From the ferry, you can enjoy the breathtaking skyline of Hong Kong especially in the evening when the Symphony of Lights begins.
Day 2 Hong Kong & Flight to Beijing (B, L)
Highlights: Aberdeen Fishing Village, Stanley Market, Peak Tram
After breakfast, you will be picked up from selected hotels in downtown area by your private tour guide and driver to start your half day exciting Hong Kong exploration.
Firstly, you will climb to the highest point of Hong Kong – Victoria Peak(552m) via the famous Peak Tram which has operated for more than 112 years as one of the world oldest funicular railways. Walk through the verdant woods to explore hidden old buildings left by the old Hong Kong. Also ascend to the observation deck to sweep the magnificent Hong Kong skyline and tranquil harbor views. Get down from the peak, then go to visit Aberdeen Fishing Village where you will get an impressive insight of an old traditional fishing village to view the rows of old Junks and Sampans.
Continue to take a trip to the Stanley Market . Browse fancy petty commodities in various little stores and enjoy the fun of bargaining, or just order a cup of coffee or beer at the seaside café or pub, a great way to spend time away from the maddening crowds. (If you are interested in the beautiful sand beach with long coastline, soft sand and clean water, you can visit Repulse Bay instead of Stanley Market.)
In the afternoon, your tour guide will escort you to the airport for your flight to Beijing (about 3 hours). Be pick up at the airport by your tour guide, then transferred to check in your hotel in downtown.
Optional transfer: you can also take a high speed train directly from Hong Kong West Kowloon Station to Beijing which starts only at around 08:00 a.m. and rides about 8 hours. Besides, if there is no Hong Kong to Beijing high speed train tickets available, you can transfer more flexibly first by bullet train to Guangzhou South Station for about 1 hour or to Shenzhen North Station for about 15-20 minutes, since there are more train options in Guangzhou and Shenzhen every day. And then take a high speed train to Beijing for about 8-9.5 hours. Please tell your travel expert if you are interested, and they will adjust your tour arrangement accordingly.
