Tour Overview
Explore Hong Kong, frequently described as where ‘East meets West’ with Yampu’s suggested Extended Hong Kong add on! Here the culture represents an intriguing blend of traditional Chinese roots and influences from its time as a British colony. The cuisine of Hong Kong also delightfully mixes the boundaries between East and West creating uniquely delicious flavors. Balancing between ancient traditions and a modern society, Hong Kong is recognized as one of the world’s leading financial centers while participating earnestly in traditional Chinese concepts like feng shui.
All of Yampu’s tours are customized to match the traveler’s interests, accommodation preferences and dates of travel. For more details, please contact a Yampu Travel Consultant on adding Hong Kong to another Yampu experience, such as China, Taiwan, or Korea.
