The workshop was held at the nurse's snack, the teacher was very patient in teaching, we had a lot of fun 😊 This place is not only delicious tea dumplings, but also tried pork cage grass bamboo shell tea, there are many snacks nearby to eat very full 🤣 Also interesting to go out by boat, but did not see the Chinese white dolphin, overall would recommend to others 👍🏻

Our guide Ricky was very informative, friendly and gave us an insightful tour with information we wouldn't have otherwise received. The attractions, especially the Big Buddha was amazing, same goes for the included vegetarian lunch. The tour is great value for money.

everything is well planned and smooth trip! Especially to our tour guide, Ricky. he is experienced and intro the history of Hong Kong. kudos to Ricky, well done! we enjoyed ourselves very much. Hassle free and highly recommended to book the packages through klook before your trips. it'll really save your times to figure out what is what, where to buy tickets, cheaper and also save time queuing up to buy tickets.

Most local attractions close after 1800. Please also note that the phone signal of the hotel is average. It is a good choice if you go for a short camping trip.

This trip was great. After gathering, we took the bus to the cable car boarding area. Because the tour group has an exclusive walkway, we went up the mountain to take pictures of the beautiful scenery and then went to Tai Kwun, Man Mo Temple, and Tim Ho Wan's meals which were really sumptuous... .

We had a great time going to Ngon Ping! Ben was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. He accommodated everyone in our party and made sure we arrived to our destinations on time. The cable car at the end was a perfect touch to end our trip.
