You’ll walk about 3 kilometers, exploring bustling markets, old alleyways, and family-run eateries that tell the story of Hong Kong’s unique food culture.

Every stop on this tour reveals a different layer of Hong Kong’s culinary heritage — from its Cantonese roots to its East-meets-West fusion flavors.
