Hong Kong tours are not complete if you have not visited a traditional Chinese dry food shop. You will find most curious things from fish maw to dried bird's nests to sea cucumbers. Most of these things are dried and need to be hydrated again. Then they get added into the soup or one can drink them. The sea cucumber is one of the Hong Kong food that get dried and hydrated again. As a Hong Kong foodie, you can, of course, skip trying this but when you are on Hong Kong day tours with us, we will also take you through the districts that sell the dried food.

If you are on a Hong Kong city tour this time of the year, you will see that everybody is very excited as it is time for our Mid-Autumn Festival. The festival celebrates three fundamental concepts that are closely connected:

• Gathering, such as family and friends coming together, or harvesting crops for the festival. It's said the moon is the brightest and roundest on this day which means family reunion. And this is the main reason why people think mid-autumn is important. If you go to a restaurant on your Hong Kong private tours, you will see they are busier than usual.

• Thanksgiving, to give thanks for the harvest, or for harmonious unions.

• Praying (asking for conceptual or material satisfaction), such as for babies, a spouse, beauty, longevity, or for a good future.

Traditions and myths surrounding the festival are formed around these concepts, although traditions have changed over time due to changes in technology, science, economy, culture, and religion. It's about well being together.

Ask your private tour guide Hong Kong to show you the best place to look for the dragon dance on a tour Hong Kong.

A romantic Chinese poem says “May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together, even if we are hundreds of miles apart." The Mid-Autumn or Moon festival was celebrated first in the Tang dynasty (618–907). It is the celebration of the harvest. When you are on a Hong Kong tour these days, you will not escape the decorations and preparations for the "Moon Festival". An important part of the festival celebration is moon worship. The ancient Chinese believed in rejuvenation being associated with the moon and water. Another tradition is to eat mooncakes. If you are on a Hong Kong city tour during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it will be impossible to walk passed the mooncakes.

How about you plan your Hong Kong private tours with a stop to get some of these exotic delicacies...? Did you know that a mooncake with 2 yolks (yes, egg yolks) is very special? Ask your private tour guide Hong Kong to help you find your favourite flavour!

...Char what....? Char Siu or barbecued pork, to make it more simple, is a cooking method in the Cantonese kitchen and means literally "fork roasted".

You can find this delicious speciality on Hong Kong culinary tours in "siu mei" restaurants. These places are specialised in meat dishes. On your private food tours Hong Kong, you will not only get some mouth-watering BBQ pork but also other meats like roasted goose or duck. Most shops display the meats by hanging them in the window. Usually, the food is served with a side of rice and vegetables.

Should you get hungry on your Hong Kong tour or plan your Hong Kong activities, you should not miss out on barbecued pork!

The flagship of "The Peninsula Hotels" opened its door in 1928 and is a treasure of historical happenings. Definitely worth the visit on Hong Kong walking tours.

For example, in 1941, at the end of the Battle of Hong Kong, Sir Mark Aitchison Young, surrendered in person at the Japanese headquarters on the third floor of The Peninsula. The Governor was confined for two months in one of the hotel suites before being transferred to a prison in Shanghai. The rooms were then reserved for Japanese officers and high-ranking dignitaries, while Hong Kong sank into misery and destitution.

Your private tour guide Hong Kong will tell you this and many other stories on your Hong Kong city tour.

One of the most delicious things to on a Hong Kong food tour is without a doubt an egg tart! This mouthwatering goodness is best eaten when the egg custard is still warm and the pastry just crumbles in your mouth leaving you with a happy and fulfilled feeling.

This sweet dessert is believed to has it's origins in neighbouring Macau but some believe that the origins lies in the English custard pie.

If your list of Hong Kong activities does not have a tick box with "try egg tart" you might miss out on the thing that makes every hong kong foodie heart skip a beat. 😃

Tours in Hong Kong are not complete if you had not had a delicious Dim Sum at least once! The most traditional way to enjoy a good "yum cha" is in a trolley service restaurant. Here you will see the waiters pushing trolleys with all the yummy goodness Hong Kong culinary tours need! You can simply point to what you would like to eat and helpful staff will just hand it over and note it on your bill. This way you can try many different dishes in one restaurant. Your Hong Kong food tours will start in one of these traditional restaurants and we encourage you just to be open and try everything your Hong Kong tour guides order. You will definitely be surprised how much you actually like Dim Sum! 😉

Pay attention at the yum charestaurant if you see the guests tapping three fingers on the table to express gratitude when someone pours tea for them. This ritual originated with a Qing dynasty (1644-1911). Ask your Hong Kong tour guides what it is about.
