colourful festivals and living cultures is to join an
organised tour.
Tin Hau Festival Tour
Visit the Tin Hau Festival celebrations held at Yuen Long
for a colourful procession of dragon and lion dances in
the reserved seating area, and see the display of Fa
Pau, floral shrines by local villagers and worshippers.
Cheung Chau Bun Festival Tour
Watch the spectacular Piu Sik (Floating Colours) Parade
from reserved seating at the official grandstand on the
island of Cheung Chau. In front of the 200-year-old
Pak Tai Temple are the festival’s huge bun towers, and
decorative fishing boats dock at the typhoon shelter.
Buddha Festival Tour
Take part in the bathing ritual at the Po Lin Monastery
on Lantau Island to celebrate the birthday of the
Lord Buddha. Visitors can also enjoy martial arts
demonstrations by Shaolin monks and other cultural
performances. The tour includes a Buddhist vegetarian
meal and Ngong Ping cable car ride.
Dragon Boat Festival Tour
Experience the excitement of the Dragon Boat Festival
while watching amateur racing teams fiercely paddle
long narrow boats against each other. Reserved seating
included.
Chinese New Year Fireworks Display
