- Sham Shui Po District - This tour delves into ‘The Dark Side’ of Hong Kong, exploring Kowloon and its more challenging aspects, such as poverty, triads, prostitution, and grey markets.
The tour begins in Sham Shui Po, the least affluent district in Hong Kong. This is not the place for a fancy gourmet meal, but rather for trying Michelin-recommended noodles and snacks that are budget-friendly.
A local guide will lead a street food tour, showcasing the best local cuisine and introducing the local culture and living conditions.
Each tour includes 4 to 6 food stops, with itineraries and stops varying based on factors like interests, walking pace, and weather. We aim to include two Michelin-rated Bib Gourmand eateries on each tour. (This is not a Michelin star food tour as Viator inaccurately describes it, and they have not corrected this despite our requests).
- Mongkok - After Sham Shui Po, the tour proceeds to Mongkok, renowned for its shopping, markets, and vibrant neon lights. As one of the most densely populated areas globally, Mongkok is a haven for amateur photographers.
Participants will explore Mongkok’s lively streets with a guide, visiting the famous Goldfish Market and electronics streets. The guide will explain the activities within the high-rise buildings surrounding the markets, including prostitution, illegal gambling, and subdivided living. This offers insight into the ‘dark side’ of Hong Kong. Rest assured, the exploration is safe, as Hong Kong is one of the world’s safest cities, and Mongkok is a top tourist destination, providing a deeper understanding of what lies beneath the surface.
** The tour may pass through different markets in Mongkok based on interests, walking pace, and weather.
- Yau Ma Tei Fruit Market - The tour concludes at Yau Ma Tei, a neighborhood rich in history and charm. It begins at the iconic Wholesale Fruit Market, a bustling area since 1913. With its rustic buildings and retro signs, this vibrant area is a photographer’s paradise. The tour also includes the Taoist Tin Hau Temple and visits to popular gathering spots for elderly residents.
The foodie adventure includes:
Exotic Fruits from the Wholesale Fruit Market: A chance to sample the freshest, most colorful, and unique fruits Hong Kong offers.
Ser Geng (Snake Meat Soup): A flavorful and hearty dish known for its health benefits—a true Hong Kong specialty. For the adventurous, the experience ends with a shot of snake wine, providing an unforgettable taste of local tradition!
