Day 01

Visit a Famous Buddhist Temple and Seek Good Fortune

• At this spot, you may see a giant statue of Che Kung and a Wheel of Fortune that, when spun three times, is said to bring good luck.
• You can also try "Kau Chim," also known as lottery poetry. It is a fortune-telling practice that originated in China, in which a person poses questions and interprets answers from flat sticks inscribed with text or numerals. Even the Hong Kong government helps the whole city pick a fortune stick to wish the city good luck.

Day 02

Enjoy Michelin-Starred Dim Sum Cuisine

• I believe everyone has heard about dim sum. It is a traditional Cantonese cuisine featuring a wide range of small dishes that are traditionally enjoyed in restaurants. In the past, dim sum was only available in the morning and at lunchtime, but now we can also enjoy dim sum at night.
• On this tour, we will offer you the chance to enjoy dim sum in a Michelin-starred restaurant. The taste of each dim sum is really different, and you can find savoury, sweet, sour, and spicy dishes here.

Day 03

Visit the Lunar New Year Night Flower Market

• Flower markets are an important feature of the annual Lunar New Year celebrations in Hong Kong.
• You can find fresh, colourful flowers and fruits that are very auspicious at this time of year, signalling new life, growth, and health. The flower markets offer not only flowers for sale, but also traditional snacks and groceries.
