15 amazing sites to visit on your Hong Kong Tour
Hong Kong has rather a unique history and as such religion is very much a part of daily Hong Kong culture and we have some amazing sites that should be on your must visit wish list.
I am a strong believer in the concept that the quality of the guide you hire to show you around on your Private Tour of Hong Kong is paramount and all the great guides know instinctively which are the best Temples to visit to give you an important insight into Hong Kong Culture and if you like taking photographs, well you will not be disappointed.
The one thing I learnt very quickly in my early days of being a Private Tour Guide was that a lot of tourists who come to Hong Kong, particularly Americans, Autralians and the Brits always mention first up that they are all Templed out, having visited many Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan and such where Temple visits are a core item on tour itineraries.
This is not really the case in Hong Kong given that there are so many interesting things to see and do but I understand, Religion here is more in the background whilst also being very much a part of daily life (and I realise that, that is a contradiction in terms)
I should also point out that Hong Kong Tour companies that do Group Tours (ie part walking | part bus with 20 - 40 people) have a fixed itinerary, most of them being on Hong Kong Island and naturally because of it’s central location will take you to the Man Mo Temple on Hollywood Road.
Let me be clear, locally it is an important Temple but for the life of me I cannot understand why people go there, it is tiny, with 2 sections and frankly even 20 people inside makes it very claustrophobic and hundreds of tour buses arrive daily.
Many mediocre tour guides will tell you it is the oldest temple in Hong Kong which is nonsense, not even close! take it from me, there are many much more interesting “Temples” to visit!

As they say “on with the show”!
Please remember - your Hong Kong Tour Experience is completely dependant on the QUALITY of the Guide
