Meet your licensed tour guide at Tin Shui Wan MTR Station at 10am to begin your 4-hour private walking tour of the New Territories. The tour covers Ping Shan Heritage Trail, which has been populated by the Tang people since the late Yuan dynasty (1271-1368), as well as a lively and vibrant local neighbourhood, Yuen Long.
