Day 11 Hong Kong ( B ) |
Take half day Hong Kong island tour: Victoria Peak, Aberdeen, Repulse Bay. Lunch is on your own. Free time for shopping in the afternoon. |
Repulse Bay | Primarily an exclusive residential area, Repulse Bay has a relaxed, resort-like atmosphere. The wide beach is popular with residents and great for sandy strolls. It features statues of Kwun Yum and Tin Hau, both protectors of fishermen. | Victoria Peak | High above Hong Kong Island on the 'back of the Dragon', Victoria Peak is Hong Kong's premier visitor attraction, providing magnificent harbour and city views. | Aberdeen Harbour | Aberdeen Harbour is home to hundreds of people living on fishing junks. Their traditional lifestyle is dramatically juxtaposed against a modern high-rise community that spreads up the nearby hillsides. In the evenings, the thousands of twinkling lights reflected on the water are a magical sight. |

[ Optional ] Star Ferry: Star Ferry came into existence around 1898 and since then its ferries have been shuttling busily between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. A crossing of Victoria Harbour on a Star Ferry has been named by the National Geographic of Traveler as one of the "fifty places of a lifetime". It offers a memorable and scenic boat trip across one of the most-photographed harbours in the world. |
