09:00 Victoria Harbour
Visit Duration: 1 hour
The establishment of Hong Kong as it exists today can be credited to the spectacular natural harbor, Victoria
Harbor, which lies between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula. It is China's largest harbor and the 3
rdlargest in the world. The harbor covers 41.88km; within the harbor are several islands – Green Island, Little
Green Island, Kowloon Rock and Tsing Yi Island. The protected and deep waters of the harbor provide a
sheltered haven for ships along the South China Sea. For this reason the British first chose Hong Kong as a
perfect place to settle their colony. The harbor is a lifeline to Hong Kong and the entrance into the heart of
Asia for the constant stream of vessels which arrive here.
Over the years several reclamation projects have narrowed the harbor as land has been reclaimed from the
sea but it remains a powerful and functioning harbor. Being surrounded by heavily urbanized areas the harbor
provides a balance with natural vistas across the water. It is the site of tourist cruise excursions and of Image By: Base64
firework displays on New Year and special events. Image Source:

The harbor has been the site of several important battles as forces valued the harbor's strategic position.
Following the First Opium War in 1840 Hong Kong was ceded to Britain. In 1855 Taiping war boats prepared Address: Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong
to attack the Chinese imperial war boats which were defending the harbor but the British deterred the
Chinese, the confrontation was only deferred for a few years before the Arrow War broke out when the British
and French fought the Qing Dynasty. The harbor was named Victoria after Britain's Queen Victoria in 1861
following the Second Opium War when the Kowloon Peninsula was ceded to Britain.
For the best views of the harbor you can walk along the harbor promenade. The Symphony of Lights is a
spectacular light show projected from some of Hong Kong's skyscrapers and best viewed across the harbor.
The harbor can be seen from Victoria Peak and from Golden Bauhinia Square which is surrounded on three
sides by the harbor.
10:00 Clock Tower
Visit Duration: 30 mins
0.1 KM, 2 minutes walking from Victoria Harbour
The clock tower is a declared monument located along the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, at the end of Salisbury
Road overlooking Victoria Harbor on Kowloon's south shore. The clock is all that remains of the
Kowloon-Canton Railway Terminus which was the final stop along the Kowloon-Canton Railway. Construction
of the railway station was completed in 1916. The train operation and station were relocated to Hung Hom
Station in 1975 and the building demolished in 1977 while the tower remained the only part of the building
untouched. The tower was preserved as a reminder of the steam train era and of the many Chinese
immigrants who passed through this station to begin a new life in Hong Kong.
The tower is made of red brick and granite, it rises 44 meters from the ground with an additional 7 meters tall
lightning rod. The square tower is topped with a cylindrical belfry and a white dome. One of the clocks in the Image By: SuperFLoh

is to bring visitors from Tung Chung to the hill top area where the island's large Buddha statue and famous
Monastery are located. Thanks to the construction of the cable car visitors no longer have to take the
mountain road up to the sites. The gondola/cable car opened in 2006 after several years of planning and 2
years of construction and trail runs. In 2009 Crystal Cabin service was introduced using glass-bottom cabins
so that today travelers can choose between the glass-bottom or regular gondola cabins.

0.8 KM, 11 minutes walking from Ngong Ping 360
The Po Lin Monastery was an obscure retreat hidden among the mountain top vegetation on Lantau Island,
Ngong Ping, until the Tian Tan Buddha or Big Buddha was erected in 1993. The huge figure is 34 meters high
(and that's in addition to the fact that it already towers over the city from the mountain top); weighs 250 tons
(22,6796kg) and is made of bronze. The statue faces north and the inclination of its head with the eyes
looking down gives the impression that the figure is really looking down on the people below. The right hand
of the Buddha is raised as if he were blessing someone. The Buddha took 12 years to build and was
completed in 1993. It is the largest Buddha of this kind in the world. Below the Buddha statue are three levels
of exhibition space.
Travelers reach the site by first taking a 25 minute cable car (Ngong Ping 360) ride from MTR Tung Chung Image By: Witty lama

15:00 Wisdom Path
0.9 KM, 13 minutes walking from Big Buddha and Po Lin Monastery
The Wisdom Path is located on Lantau Island, just a short walk from the island's main attraction, the Big
Buddha, and nestled in the verdant hills of Ngong Ping. It consists of 38 timber steles which line a pathway
leading to the top of a hill where there are brilliant views across the island and the South China Sea. The
monument blends perfectly in the natural surroundings. The steles are arranged in a pattern which forms the
figure 8, the sign for infinity. The stele or obelisks are between 2.5 to 3 meters tall, thin, upright, rectangular
monuments. The wooden steles are engraved with the best known Buddhist sutras (prayers) the
Prajna-Paramita Heart Sutra. This prayer is considered sacred by Buddhists, Taoists and Confucians. The
Chinese version appears on the stele based on the calligraphy style of a modern scholar, Professor Jao
Tsung-I. The monument was a gift to the city of Hong Kong from the Professor who was inspired by Buddhist
stone carvings on Mt. Taisham in Shandong, mainland China. Image By: Bridget Coila

The 260 word prayer is the shortest of the Mahayana Sutra and perhaps the most important but hardest to
understand. Parts of the prayer are engraved on each stele and the site, set in its natural surroundings, is Address: Ngong Ping, Lantau Island, Outlying
perfect for deep contemplation and meditation. At the top of the hill, the last stele has been left empty, with no Islands
engraving to signify the word Sunyatta or emptiness which appears in the Sutra. Web: www.tourism.gov.hk
17:15 Tai O
7.4 KM, 0 minutes by transit from Wisdom Path
This quaint village is located on the coast of Hong Kong's largest island, Lantau Island. The small village is
framed by a backdrop of mountains. Tai O is a traditional fishing village inhabited by the Tanka people,
fishermen by trade who live in unique homes along the water's edge. The Tanka houses are constructed on
stilts and are interconnected. This is one of the few remaining examples of this type of traditional Chinese
home in the Hong Kong area. This intimate living arrangement creates a tight knit community. The Tanks
have a deep connection with the water, not only do they make their living from fishing but their homes are
literally above the water.
A creek divides Tai O in two and a relatively new drawbridge, Sun Ki Bridge, joins the two sides of the creek.
For 85 years before the new manually operated bridge was constructed the residents would cross the creek Image By: Mk2010
on rope-drawn ferries operated by the village women.

wet market road. The market area was once known as Little Shanghai and today the main residents are from
Fuji. Wet markets get their name from the fact that food, fish and meat are sold here so that the floor
constantly needs to be washed down, hence "wet." The Chun Yeung Street market is a street market, made
up of open front stores and stalls.
Permanent stores open their store fronts and spill onto the sidewalk while other vendors have opened stalls
along this road. You can get all kinds of goods here and locals often do their day-to-day food, vegetable and

fishing village, evidence of this can be seen in the typhoon shelter and the Tin Hau Temple. With the addition
of reclaimed land the area grew rapidly, one of the many changes to the coastline was the inclusion of Kellett
Island as part of Hong Kong Island. The British sold part of the land to the British conglomerate Jardines,

facility occupies the summit), the slopes are covered with parks and attractions as well as some of the most
expensive real estate in Hong Kong.
In 1868 Governor Sir Richard MacDonnell had his summer home built here and from 1904 to 1947 Victoria
Peak was reserved exclusively as a residential area for expatriates. The Peak Hotel opened on the mountain
in 1873 but was destroyed by fire in 1938. With the implementation of the tram routes in 1888 running up the
mountain the area gained more visitors and traffic. Image By: Richard Fisher
