The Central Business District (CBD) in Hong Kong was not always as big and crowded as it is nowadays. When the British landed in 1841 at Possession Point in Sheung Wan - which you can visit on your Hong Kong private tours - they decided to build a city on the north coast of Hong Kong Island, and the present-day Central was chosen to house major military facilities and an administrative centre.

ask your private tour guide hong kong about the history
On our Hong Kong private tours you can visit the initial CBD that was located between Garden Road and Wellington Street. Ask your private tour guide Hong Kong to show you the east of Central Market where the headquarters of foreign investors and bankers were, while the Chinese merchants would settle down to the west of the CBD. You can visit those places your Hong Kong walking tours.

As we are entering the last 3 months of 2018 ( I know right??? How did that happen??? ), it's about time to think about where to say farewell to 2018 and say "Hello" to 2019. One of the very iconic and somehow traditional things to do is going on a Victoria harbour cruise and watching the incredible Hong Kong fireworks with the amazing Hong Kong skyline in the background!

So your tour Hong Kong could be having last Hong Kong walking tours in 2018 and celebrating Hong Kong New Year's Eve with us on a Victoria harbour cruise!
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.
beautiful decorations to be seen on your hong kong private tours
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.

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.
