Hong Kong Traditional Lifestyles Tour

Hong Kong is often described as a city where East meets West, with its unique blend of superstition and capitalism. The Traditional Lifestyles Tour is the perfect chance to experience Hong Kong’s most traditional elements, such as Feng Shui and Tai Chi, while also seeing some of the cities most modern architecture.

Pros

Cons

A great chance to find out about the traditions that make Hong Kong tick. You start the tour with an hour-long Tai Chi lesson, either on the Hong Kong waterfront or on top of the Peak, both with different but equally impressive views of the city’s skyline. If the weather is clear, this certainly represents an excellent experience, it can however be done for free with the Hong Kong Tourism Board.

Many of the skyscrapers on the city’s skyline were designed with direction from the ancient art of Feng Shui. You’ll find out about this ancient architectural practice with a trip out to Tsing Ma Bridge, the world’s largest rail-road-suspension bridge. A possible letdown on the tour; the Feng Shui angle is only really interesting to those with an interest in the art, as the bridge itself is largely unremarkable.

The conclusion of the day comes at a traditional Chinese tea house, where you’ll learn all about the arts and practices that go into Chinese Tea Culture.

A good tour for those who want to find out more about Chinese culture in Hong Kong, however it is a little specialist in areas.
