Itinerary

place DAYS 1 - 2 - Hong Kong

Hong Kong

During your visit to Hong Kong, travel aboard the city's historic, funicular railway for the ascent to the famous Victoria Peak. This is a visual experience in its own right as Hong Kong Island’s skyscrapers slide past your window at what appear to be impossible angles! Once atop the famous Victoria Peak (554 meters above sea level), enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, Victoria Harbour, Kowloon Peninsula and beyond. For your next stop, take a visit to the popular Stanley Market. This market in the quaint village of Stanley on Hong Kong Island’s south coast is a huge hit with locals, expats and tourists. 

place DAY 3 - Hong Kong

Hong Kong

Spend your morning today experiencing a cultural tour of Kowloon. The excursion begins with the celebrated Wong Tai Sin Temple, home to three religions — Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism — and pays tribute to famous monk Wong Tai Sin. Featuring five geomantic elements, the temple is as much a scenic attraction as it is an important religious centre. Next, visit the Bird Garden in the vibrant Mong Kong district, a popular gathering place for songbird enthusiasts. Finally, visit Jade Market in Yau Ma Tei, another vibrant local district selling trinkets and souvenirs made of jade, a stone considered to have mythical qualities by many people in Hong Kong. 

place DAY 4 - Hong Kong to Hokkaido

Hong Kong to Hokkaido

Take a direct flight from Hong Kong to Sapporo and then travel to Niseko Village. This integrated resort offers 5 Star accommodations, on-site facilities, a dining and retail hub and, of course, superb skiing and alpine activities. Not just a winter destination, in summer this resort transforms into an outdoor enthusiasts and nature lover's paradise as well as playing host to world-class golf courses.

place DAYS 5 - 9 - Niseko Village

Niseko Village

Located at the base of Mount Niseko Annupuri, Nisko Village is the perfect location for skiers of all standards. From the 1st of December through to May, the snowfall averages 18 metres and is considered among the driest and lightest in the world, making for the most perfect of conditions. As well as skiing, winter activities include snowmobiling, snowboarding, and reindeer sledding. There is also a snow school for anybody who wants to brush up or learn for the first time before hitting the slopes. The village itself provides a range of dining options from traditional Japanese to international favorites and there are stunning boutiques to browse and shop. And with the hotel being fully ski in/ski out you don't have to go far to begin your days activities. 

place DAYS 10 - 11 - Hong Kong

Hong Kong

Travel back to Hong Kong today to spend another three nights in the city that is packed full of cultural, culinary and contemporary experiences. Why not join a local foodies tour, along with an expert guide, visit three vibrant, and populated urban neighbourhoods; namely Sham Shui Po, Mong Kok and Yau Ma Tei and rub shoulders with the locals to experience some favourite street food dishes such as curry fish balls, wonton noodles, egg tarts Hong Kong style milk tea, and Dim Sum whilst learning about the history and food culture.

place DAY 12 - Hong Kong

Hong Kong

Spend a final day in Hong Kong exploring Lantau Island; at almost twice the size of Hong Kong Island, this is one of the most popular outlying islands and a much loved attraction. Ride the 5.7km Ngong Ping Cable Car in a specially designed Crystal Cabin offering a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view of South China Sea and the Hong Kong-Zhuhai- Macau bridge. Visit Po Lin Monastery, perhaps the most popular Buddhist temple in Hong Kong with one of the tallest outdoor seated Buddha statues, before spending time in Ngong Ping 360. This amazing cultural themed village has been architecturally designed and landscaped to reflect the cultural and spiritual integrity of the area. In the afternoon, continue to the famed Tai O Fishing Village with roots tracing all the way back to the Ming dynasty; this historical village by the sea oozes history and heritage.
