The place where you can spot out the exact place to buy anything under the sun is at Kowloon. They are street markets which are confined in the selling process and you can get anything from clothes to jades to fishes or even flowers. You can experience the local Hong Kong life at these streets as it is confined to the locals and not to the upper class people even though everyone is here to buy and sell. If you want to know about the real culture you can step into this place where you find everything.

The tour takes you to yet another place other than Kowloon and it is known as New Territories which lies beyond the hills of Kowloon. It is countryside where developments are still on the way as the land remains as it is. It embraces the tradition and the rural culture with ancient villages, heritage sites, vegetable ponds, fields, fish ponds and lot more.

The Kowloon and New Territories tour takes you to the wonderful lands having twenty three country parks. Among these, three are marine parks where as one is a marine reserve.

You can take this tour as it lets you to know about the culture and tradition of Hong Kong especially of the Hakka population. Walking past the monuments, temples, villages and other traditional monasteries is sure to make you feel that Hong Kong is the place where you can find plenty other than the tallest buildings. It makes you realize that it is something more than mere pollution and busy city.

The tour starts up from the Kowloon Peninsula and makes stops at rather more interesting sites. The duration would be around four to five hours commencing daily in the morning or in the afternoon. The tour price suggested would be HK$320 for the adult and HK$220 for children between the age of three to twelve years.

The largest Taoist Temple at Hong Kong is known to be Wongtaisin Temple and it has millions of visitors each year who are mostly worshippers. The rural market is the place where you get to buy everything from the fresh items produced to those which are of daily necessities.

One of the major attractions of the Kowloon and New Territories tour is the Tsang Tai Uk which is a well known fortified village. The meaning of the term is Tsang's Big House. This was constructed during the 1840's and was very useful during the Second World War. It is designated as a rectangular, large grey-brick compound having thick and high walls with corner towers which are tall enough. The name was given to the rectangular village when the place was given for the displaced families during the Second World War as a shelter.
