Guide Review - Splendid Night of Delights Tour

The tour starts on Hong Kong’s brightest street, Nathan Road, packed with the neon advertising signs that have made Hong Kong famous around the world. You’ll be driven up the ‘golden mile’, as it’s known, before reaching Temple Street Market, a maze of streets packed with curios and souvenirs. Although both of these things can be done individually for free, Temple Street Market and Nathan Road can be packed with people and a little overwhelming, therefore some people find a guided tour more relaxing.

After bargain hunting your way through the market you’ll want to refill, and it’s off to the Jumbo floating restaurant in Aberdeen for a traditional Cantonese dinner. The food and the restaurant itself are nothing special, however this floating boat is an attraction in itself. You’ll finish the night off with a bus-tour of Mid-Levels, this area is perched up above the city and it affords excellent views of the lit-up cityscape below.
