A night in Kowloon with a local
A night in Kowloon with a local

What you'll do

You’ll join one of our food-loving Hong Kong hosts to explore Hong Kong's food culture in the heart of the colorful Kowloon neighborhood. Game changer - you’ll do so after dark. Lit by thousands of neon signs, this lively district really comes alive when the sun sets and with a name that means ‘9 dragons’, it’s no surprise.

See the most incredible views of the Symphony of Lights and Hong Kong Island’s skyline over the water before your host guides you through the maze of streets that make up this exciting area.

Eat your way around traditional night markets where vendors sell all the classics like steamed crab, cheung fun (chewy rice noodles), siu mai (a street version of a steamed dim sum classic), and fried octopus tentacles - this is where you’ll find some of the best food in the city!

Head to Dundas Street and explore the gaai, or back alleys, where you’ll find tiny bars selling drinks ranging from herbal medicines to beers!

When you are done, why not grab a seat at one of the bars with your host who will share local secrets with you, like where the locals go at 5 am to eat fried squid balls after a night of partying, and where the best underground clubs are.

    Karen was very informative and patient. Because of her help, we felt confident to go around Kowloon alone, the next day, using public transport. I would highly recommend anyone to take this tour.

    I had Angel as my tour guide. She was wonderful. She took me around all over. We ate baby octopus, dim sum, lemon tarts, and turtle shell jelly. I got the full experience of the food tour. A little crazy and a little normal. It was prefect. Angel did amazing planning it all out. Thank you so much.

    Alfred was an incredible tour guide with a deep knowledge of Hong Kong and China’s history. In addition, he took me off the beaten path to try different types of organ meats and peculiar Hong Kong delicacies. An absolute blast.

    Our guide, Ed, was excellent and helped introduce us into Kowloon and Hong Kong in general. Our ship docked in the afternoon and we meet Ed just outside the cruise terminal. At that point, he took us to Kowloon using the Metro system, while giving us background on the city, its history and current political situation. We walked through various night markets getting an excellent feel for Kowloon. It was a great introduction.
