Discover the Hidden Stories of Hong Kong with our Dark Side of Hong Kong Walking Tour
Uncover the naked truth behind the glittering facade of Hong Kong on our Dark Side of Hong Kong Walking Tour. Unlike our Hong Kong food and culture tours, this unique experience brings you face to face with the concealed stories of this vibrant metropolis.
While Hong Kong is known as a thriving international finance center, visitors are often only shown the bright side of the city, with popular attractions like The Peak, Victoria Harbour, and Big Buddha taking center stage. But what about the 1.5 million people living in poverty, making Hong Kong one of the most unequal places on earth?
Our tour delves into the heart of Hong Kong’s capitalist system, giving you a first-hand look at the grim reality many of its citizens face. You’ll visit a subdivided unit in one of the city’s poorest districts, providing a stark contrast to the economic prosperity that seems so abundant.
Join us on a journey to see Hong Kong in a more realistic light and gain a deeper understanding of the true stories of its people. Sign up now for a thought-provoking and eye-opening tour.
