Full itinerary for Half Day Kowloon Tour

The day before your tour begins

Your private guide will call your hotel reception between 7pm and 9pm to confirm your stay and pickup time for the next day.

Wong Tai Sin Temple

This temple is home to three religions (Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism) and claims to make your wish come true. It is dedicated to Wong Tai Sin, who was a shepherd and earned immortality through his good deeds. You can see many Chinese praying and seeking a fortune teller’s advice about their luck in the coming years. Absorb the atmosphere and take it in. Don't miss the gardens and the pools either.

Kowloon Walled City Park

A 15 minute walk leads you to this park from Wong Tai Sin Temple. It is an oasis in the city which is known for its countless skycrapers. The Kowloon Walled City was built for placing the Kowloon Patrol Division in it by the Qing government in 1843. After the Qing troops left the walled city, this area was outside of government regulation and administration for over 50 years and with around 50, 000 people living there. In 1987, it was converted into a park in Jiangnan style, but you can still see the historical relics.

Jade Market

Jade Market is a marketplace where hawkers sell various shades and qualities of the stone. To the Chinese, jade has great spiritual value for warding off evil. When carved into certain shapes, it can represent wealth (deer), good fortune (tiger) & power (dragon). Don’t buy expensive jade unless you are with an expert.
