Following your morning exercise, you will head to a local restaurant to experience a traditional dim sum breakfast.

Then, visit a lively food market, where you can watch locals shop for their daily necessities, before returning to your ship. * Moderate - Walking portions may be long and somewhat challenging with occasional step-ups, stairs and inclines.
