These involved rigorous systems aimed at finding the best administrative officials for the state. Built in 1847, this remains the largest Man Mo temple in Hong Kong. To pause for a moment’s respite under its giant hanging incense coils makes for a pleasant contrast with the hectic pace of the nearby financial district. Man Mo Temple is part of a complex that also includes the areas Lit Shing Kung and Kung Sor.

2. 3. Day 2 – Optional: Foot Massage Chinese Foot Reflexology Massage: Just as the heart can be described as your body’s engine, so can your feet can be seen as the shock absorbers taking up to 15, 000 steps every day and about 70, 000 miles in a lifetime. In the West, the protection of such a complex part of the body still lies very much in wearing the correct footwear, but in the East, the concept of holistic medicine means that much more attention is paid to the health of these ‘appendages’. The sole of the foot is seen to contain all the acupuncture points (reflex points) which are connected to every part of your body through 300 nerves, thus affecting the condition of the whole. The practice of foot reflexology is not only very relaxing but stimulates vital functions, eliminates toxins, improves blood circulation and soothes people of nervous dispositions. In short it improves the Yin and Yang, resulting in top-to-toe health and harmony for the recipient.

2. 3. Day 2 - Cocktail Cruise “Symphony of Lights” Show This beautiful traditional-style junk “Aqua Luna” serves cocktails whilst sailing across the harbour on a 45 -minute cruise between Central and Tsim Sha Tsui.

The squashy leather day beds and candle-lit tables create an intimate, romantic atmosphere and the view of the skyline, on either side of the harbor, is spectacular and definitely best enjoyed at night. Soft jazz and chilled out Café del Mar-style funky house plays in the background except at 8 pm when the official light show music and words are played and you can enjoy this tourist attraction in style.
