Red Tour

Stop at the Peak Tramway (entrance included with your Big Bus ticket) and ride to the top where you will be rewarded with breathtaking views across the Victoria Harbour.

See the very point in Wan Chai where the handover ceremony of Hong Kong took place; officially marking the transfer of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China. And for a more relaxing view of the city, sit back and relax as you cross the Victoria Harbour on the upper deck of the Star Ferry. The ferry is popular with tourists and has become one of the icons of Hong Kong.
