Hong Kong Jao Tsung-I Academy Heritage Guided Walking Tour

Walk a 150-year-old heritage complex
with a local guide

Escape the busy city for a guided walking tour in English of about 1.5 hours at Jao Tsung-I Academy, set on a lush hillside. Learn from your local guide how the site evolved from a Qing dynasty customs station into workers' quarters, a prison and a hospital, before becoming an architectural heritage site promoting culture.

Climb through three zones from the lotus pond to the High Zone

Starting at the tranquil lotus pond in the Low Zone, pass through the Middle Zone and up to the High Zone, covering all three zones of the hillside. Enjoy panoramic views, pass hidden gems and landmarks along the way, and learn about the site's medical history.

See relics not open to the public

Enjoy exclusive access to heritage relics and places that are normally restricted, such as the original Kowloon Customs boundary stone. At the historic Old Pier entrance in the High Zone, trace the former boundary of the site.

Finish with Chinese tea and local snacks

At the visitor center, enjoy a Chinese tea tasting with local snacks and a friendly chat with your guide. After the tour, feel free to keep strolling the grounds or explore the exhibitions at your own pace.
