Historic Boat Ride in Hong Kong

Today Hong Kong is a massive modern cit filled with many shining sky scrapers towering over the bay. It is hard to imagine what it was like when the first settlers of the are saw when they arrived. This city has really changed over the thousands of years of transitions it has endured.

The is one thing you can count on when visiting Hong Kong and that is its strong preservation of tradition. Mixed in with all of the modern day life and structures are so many amazing historical, traditional structures and life. While staying at a hong kong hotel you may be right next door to a historical treasured landmark.

Get out into the harbor for a boat ride on the Duk Ling which is a wonderful old junk boat that  is a classic image of the historical boats built here a hundred and fifty years ago. This is what the original traders would sail into the harbor with barring goods of all kinds.

The name Duk Ling means, clever duck, in Chinese. The Duk Ling is famous in the Hong Kong harbor and she offers great cruises day or night. She will take you to Lamma Island for a nice seafood dinner Chinese style. You will enjoy the evening sunset cruise as the sails light up with its auburn hew and the city softens with the colorful sky. A great time for a nice cocktail or glass of champagne.
