This is a tour about 'The Dark Side' of Hong Kong. We explore Kowloon discovering some of the 'darker' topics; poverty, triads, prostitution, grey markets. Your tour starts in Sham Shi Po, the least affluent district in Hong Kong. Don’t come here for a fancy gourmet meal. Instead, come here if you want to try Michelin-recommended noodles and snacks that won't make a dent in your pocket. Here your local guide will take you on a street food tour to discover the best local eats and introduce you to the local culture and living environment. The exact itinerary may vary based on the day, weather, and group preferences, but here are some highlights: -Cheung Fun (Rice Noodle Rolls) - Beef and Egg Sandwich: - Wife Cake - Tong Shui (Chinese Dessert Soups) (This is not a Michelin star food tour as Viator describes it - Viator refuses to remove that description even though we have told them it is misrepresenting our tour).

One of the most densely populated parts of the world Mongkok is every amateur photographer's dream.
