Day 13: Guilin & Li River Cruise

Towering limestone pinnacles and misty waters create a storybook setting for a leisurely cruise on the Li River. We’ll see everything from water buffalo and rice paddies to fishermen on bamboo rafts. A stop in the bustling market town of Yangshuo affords free time to explore and shop. Join your fellow travelers tonight for a special dinner. 

Day 14: Guilin/Hong Kong

This morning, we’ll visit Reed Flute Cave, called “The Palace of the Natural Arts” for its stunning rock formations. (One even looks like the Statue of Liberty!) Lighting lends a magical, neon atmosphere to the cave. Later, we’ll take the bullet to Hong Kong. Here, we’ll transfer to our hotel in the heart of bustling Kowloon, near the majestic harbor promenade.

Day 15: Hong Kong

Take a ride to the top of Victoria Peak for spectacular city and harbor vistas. Our morning Hong Kong tour also includes a visit to vibrant Stanley Market (bargains await!), scenic Repulse Bay and the exotic Aberdeen floating fishing village. The afternoon is at leisure for shopping or independent exploration. Be sure to sample the amazing array of delicacies in this culinary mecca. 

Day 16: Hong Kong

Experience the true “East Meets West” flavor of Hong Kong with a free day. You can also join an optional excursion via high-speed turbojet ride to Macau, a fascinating city that was once under Portuguese rule. Here the European/Mediterranean influence is evident in its fortresses and churches, yet it exudes a strong Chinese heritage. Macau is also Asia’s gambling capital if you are so inclined! This evening, enjoy a farewell dinner. 

Day 17: Depart Hong Kong

Our tour comes to an end after breakfast. Travelers who purchased our air-inclusive package will transfer to the airport for the return flight and our journey ends as we touch down later today.

Hotels in Hong Kong

Hong Kong hotels can cater to all needs to a high standard from luxury resorts to campsites. Generally speaking, due to the high land prices in Hong Kong, hotel prices are high and rooms can be quite small.

There are many high-end hotels in Hong Kong and the prices vary widely.

The price for luxury hotels is about USD 600-800 per night per room or more.

In general, four- or five-star hotels are priced at USD200–500. These hotels are concentrated in Central, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and Tsim Sha Tsui.

Most budget hotels are concentrated in Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok.

The prices of the hotels are generally more expensive during the peak season (September – March) and the peak season for exhibitions (April). They may rise by 2–4 times! During these months, you'd better book in advance.
