Think Hong Kong is all gleaming skyscrapers and luxury malls? Join us for a unique and enriching day trip to the Ping Shan Heritage Trail, which shows an altogether different side to the territory.
This trail, the first of its kind in Hong Kong, weaves about 1.6 kilometres through the low-rise residential neighbourhoods of Hang Mei Tsuen, Hang Tau Tsuen and Sheung Cheung Wai and highlights the importance of the district to the city’s history.
It is a fascinating amble featuring a series of centuries-old villages, temples, ancestral halls and a walled village lining the route, which introduces you to the lives of Hong Kong’s 13th century clan settlers.
The tour will conclude with a traditional Chinese lunch served in an ancestral hall, offering a perfect blend of culture and cuisine.
Take this special opportunity to explore Hong Kong’s history and discover the serenity in this bustling city!
