We leave the port by coach headed to the bus terminal where we set off for our night tour to discover Hong Kong.
We get on an open-top bus and reach Des Voeux Road, the main street in Hong Kong named after the city’s tenth governor Sir William Des Vœux. Along this road, we find many leading companies, offices, famous skyscrapers such as that of the Bank of China as well as prestigious stores.
We move on to the Central District, the heart of Hong Kong and its financial, administrative and commercial hub where banks, international companies and luxury hotels stand out with their glistening skyscrapers that make up the most characteristic part of the city's legendary skyline.
We continue with Happy Valley, a luxury residential area in the northern part of the island and part of the Wan Chai district. It is one of the city’s most ancient communities and home to the “Happy Valley Racecourse”, one of the two racecourses in Hong Kong.
Driving through the Wan Chai district, we reach the Cross-Harbour tunnel, the first underwater tunnel approximately 2 km long and one of the most trafficked in the world.
Before returning to the ship, the bus takes us to discover two of Hong Kong’s main streets: Nathan Road, Kowloon’s main streets stretching almost 3 km with colourful neon signs and dotted with shops and restaurants and Shanghai Street, one of the city’s oldest roads 2.3 km long and once the area’s main commercial street.
