Hong Kong Island is bursting at the seams with a mixture of ancient eastern mystique, high-tech commerce and cosmopolitan lifestyles. This tour reveals all of these facets and more. The first stop is Victoria Peak which, rising 544m above sea-level, offers a spectacular view of hustle and bustle of this extraordinary city. From Victoria Peak, we proceed downhill past delightful tropical forests and along the coastal road to Repulse Bay. Located on the Island, this seaside resort is one of Hong Kong most popular beaches. Just around the corner is Stanley Market where silk designer clothing, hand-painted porcelain and souvenir items overflow from the shops onto the narrow lanes. Shopping at Stanley Market is always fun and there are many bargains to be found. The final stop on the tour is Aberdeen where traditional Chinese values and ancient customs are easily observed. Once a small fishing village, Aberdeen is now a thriving town best known for the many junks, houseboats and floating restaurants.
