For special itineraries, E旅行网 has introduced an exclusive “Authentic Hong Kong Tour Led by Trendy Local Guides” for the travel expo. These tours are guided by stylish local guides who take travelers to discover hidden gems in Hong Kong. Customers who purchase any Hong Kong free-and-easy package from E旅行网 can join the first-ever trendy guide-led half-day tour across Taiwan for just an additional NT$999. Options include either a movie location tour in Central and Sheung Wan or a local Hong Kong stories tour in Wan Chai. Each itinerary also includes an afternoon tea experience—like savoring nostalgic tea at the retro-style Starbucks in Central or indulging in Hong Kong-style desserts at Little Sweet Valley, a dessert shop opened by a Hong Kong celebrity.

Lion Travel is launching the “My Castle Princess Dream” itinerary exclusively at the travel expo—a 3-day group tour covering both Hong Kong Disneyland and Ocean Park, staying four people per room at the Regal Riverside Hotel, starting from NT$20,800. The package includes an exclusive princess luncheon party in the Royal Banquet Hall of Disneyland, a first in Taiwan. The event features a Western set meal in the “Royal Banquet Hall,” a lesson on royal dining etiquette, making your own jewelry box and brooch, and photo opportunities with popular Disney princesses such as Cinderella and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. It’s sure to be a magical and dreamy princess party for girls.

Commonly known as the “ding ding” among locals, the Hong Kong tram has been running on the northern side of Hong Kong Island since 1904. Among them are two vintage trams filled with nostalgia that can be privately rented for parties—the only ones in Hong Kong that retain their post-war-era body designs and are rarely seen by the public. To celebrate the 110th anniversary of the Hong Kong tram, U-Fun Travel has created the “Big City, Small Stories: Hong Kong Is Interesting” itinerary, offering exclusive rides on these one-of-a-kind vintage trams for Taiwanese travelers. The package also includes a dedicated guide leading the trip through Wan Chai’s rich local culture and the fashionable, artsy Central and Sheung Wan areas, following the “Hong Kong Is Interesting” guidebook. Stay for 3 days and 2 nights at the brand-new Park Lane Hong Kong, Causeway Bay, for just NT$11,888 (taxes included).
