We booked the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) tour. Our wonderful guide Stephanie took us through Sheung Wan and especially at the start and finish of the tour she explained the principles behind TCM with many examples and took us to the locations to see and experience TCM for ourselves. Throughout the 3-hour tour Stephanie shared her expertise of the history of Hong Kong in general and the events that happened in this neighbourhood specifically. The whole experience from first contact, info provided upfront and the tour itself was excellent and very flexible. Thanks Stephanie!
