Set off on an exciting discovery of Kowloon and Hong Kong Island! Hop onboard the vintage Peak Tram to Victoria Peak for a sweeping view of the city. You’ll then visit Tai Kwun, where decades-old heritage buildings gained a new life and a lively, artistic vibe fills every corner, and take the Central-Mid-Levels Escalator, the world’s longest outdoor covered lift.

Later, enjoy gorgeous views of Victoria Harbor from the Star Ferry, a down-to-earth way of making the crossing, before stepping into Wong Tai Sin Temple for a closer look at the locals’ Taoist beliefs. You have the option to draw a fortune stick in a traditional “kau cim” ritual here! In the bustling Mong Kok area, delve into the local way of life by visiting the Ladies’ Market and the Flower Market.

Discover the best of Lantau Island with your private guide today! Taking the Ngong Ping 360 Cable Car, you’ll enjoy a sweeping view of verdant mountains and towering residential buildings on the way to Ngong Ping Village, a cultural-themed village where you can pick up local crafts as lovely souvenirs.

Later, step into the century-old Po Lin Monastery to feel its serene, calming vibe. You have the option to stay for lunch here and try its delicious vegetarian food paired with a pot of tea. Sitting at the hilltop, the 34-meter-tall Tian Tan Buddha is one of Hong Kong’s most famous landmarks. Upon climbing to the base of this enormous sculpture, you’ll be greeted with awe-inspiring views of the surroundings. A stroll through the Wisdom Path, where huge columns inscribed with Heart Sutra line the walk, brings the day’s sightseeing to an end.

Leaving Hong Kong and its charming mix of cultures behind, you’ll journey to Zhangjiajie, home to the Avatar Mountains.

Kickstart an amazing day in Zhangjiajie National Forest Park by taking a scenic train ride to admire the towering sandstone peaks. From the glass windows of the 326-meter-tall Bailong Elevator that clings to the cliff face, you’ll take in the breathtaking vistas of this UNESCO World Heritage Site from a different angle. In Yuanjiajie, the sandstone peaks’ grotesque shapes form an other-worldly realm that inspired scenes from the Avatar movie. The views here become more atmospheric on a rainy day, with the mountains shrouded in a light veil of mist.

Continue your exploration as you proceed to Tianzi Mountain, where more awe-inspiring scenery awaits. A cable car ride downhill then takes you through the forest of stone peaks and creates the perfect end to a day filled with awe and excitement!

One more day in the embrace of nature! With your knowledgeable guide by your side, you’ll go on a hike along the Golden Whip Stream. The well-maintained paths lead deep into the forests, providing a peaceful setting for you to breathe in the crisp air and indulge in the lovely mountain scenery. Luckily enough, you may also encounter monkeys that call this area home!

Later, hop on the world’s longest cableway, which spans over 7 kilometers, for a scenic ride to the top of Tianmen Mountain. From there, a thrilling, 20-minute walk on a glass-bottomed walkway built on the cliff face brings you unparalleled views of the verdant mountains. Be awed by the stunning Tianmen Cave, a colossal, naturally-formed arch between two mountains carved out by forces of nature.
