Morning light hits the harbor and the city exhales — neon reflections sliding across Victoria Harbour as the Star Ferry cleaves the water, daring you closer to the skyline. A full-day private tour in Hong Kong moves at that brisk, cinematic pace: a funicular climb to the Peak, a walk through a market where steam rises from dumpling stalls, a moment in a temple listening to prayer beads click like distant rain.
