    We will go on our journey by taking the tram (ding ding) to the area of North Point, and will visit Chun Yeung Street wet market - the market retains a local feel where the locals still shop. You can't imagine that a market on a narrow street can let a tram run through.

    We will then ride the "ding ding" or public bus further down to another area of "Causeway Bay" for a taste of living culture - an ancient tradition of "petty person beating" (da siu yan in Cantonese) - a Chinese folk ritual to dispel evil, particularly the kind brought by enemies. After all, let's relax a bit and have a try at one of our most popular Traditional eats - wonton noodles before the tour ends.
