Love visiting the old stores. Each old store witness the history of the district and can tell you a story of old Hong Kong.
Interesting little tour

Met at Yau Mei Tei MTR station for a 2 hour tour which we really enjoyed. We were given an earpiece each so we could hear everything our guide Ling was telling us. It was very well organised and we stopped at some interesting places along the way including the fruit & vegetable market, a local bridal shop and finishing the tour in an authentic cafe. We were able to continue on after the tour and explore other areas of Kowloon nearby such as ladies market goldfish street.

I was highly recommended by a good friend to try this travel agency and Cultural Background was the first tour (won't be the last!) I joined. I was picked up together with other 2 participants from the Yau Ma Tei MTR station on time and we were then in for a cultural treat - the tour covered quite a few streets in the area, where you could still find a considerable amount of unique, traditional family-owned businesses. We were also taken to the wholesale fruit market and walked through some back alleys that normally we might be too chicken to do ourselves. There were so many stories to be shared by the guide Ling and places to be checked out nearby as well. Ling is extremely knowledgeable and seems to know the area like the back of her hand. We then visited a 'cha chaan tang' (a local eatery), where we sampled a few popular snacks including Hong Kong-style Milk Tea, French Toast, etc. The tour finished at the Tin Hau Temple Complex and we went into almost each of the sections that have been subdivided for different deities or functions. The tour was well-thought-out, jam-packed with interesting spots and yet very well-paced. It was informative but Ling didn't bombard us with overwhelming details. I didnt want to give away the itinerary too much in this review because I feel it is only fair for you to experience the tour first-hand. Having said that, I strongly believe you will not disappoint.
