About this activity
Your 2-hour walking tour starts at Statue Square, located near the Central MTR Station where you'll meet your guide in the afternoon. Listen to historical anecdotes and learn how this city hub changed from a symbol of colonial governance to something uniquely Hong Kong. 

Continue on foot to the Old Dairy Farm Depot, now housing The Foreign Correspondents' Club. Discover how local arts and culture evolved with the city over time. Making your way to Wo On Lane, find out how folk religion blends in with the nightlife hotspot of Lan Kwai Fong. 

At the Yu Lan (Hungry Ghosts) Club, your guide discusses the history of hygiene in Hong Kong; learn why the locals are doubly concerned about powdering their noses and pacifying ghosts. Proceeding to Pak Tsz Lane Park, you'll get a look at a monument to the city's pivotal role in China’s revolutions and the founding of Asia’s largest republic.

Stroll through Hong Kong’s oldest open market — Central Street Market — where 160 years of history faces urban development. Visit Man Mo Temple and see Upper Lascar Row, now a hotspot for antiques and secondhand goods.

Enjoy several light refreshments at local food stalls (subject to change), such as Hong Kong–style mochi and fresh-pressed sugarcane juice. Your tour ends at the Sheung Wan MTR Station.
