“A dream of Manhattan, arising from the South China Sea.” For succinctness, modern travel writer Pico Iyer’s description of Hong Kong has yet to be bettered. From opium port to Cold War enclave to frenetic financial capital, Hong Kong has never been boring. This is the hedonistic engine room of cultural fusion: East meets West in high style, and the results astonish and delight. Prepare to experience one of the most dramatic urban environments ever conceived.

In Hong Kong, you have to try everything, especially things that sound a little out of the ordinary.
This is an interesting place to have breakfast. You'll get to see what the locals like to have in the morning to start the day.
Steamed milk, steamed egg, sramble eggs, toast, French toast, macaroni or spaghetti in soup - all served in its very Hong Kong way. And not forgetting to try the Hong Kong style milk tea (奶茶) or the Yuanyang drink (milk tea & coffee beverage) with your breakfast!

Hong Kong´s version of the hollywood WalK of Fame, The avenue of Stars celebrates icons of Hong Kong cinema the past century. The seaside promenade offers fantastic views, day and night, of Victoria Harbour and its iconic skyline. This is the place to have our picture taken by a professional photographer who is experienced in night photography. The Show comprises five major themes, taking spectators on a unique journey celebrating the energy, spirit and diversity of Hong Kong:
The first scene "Awakening" begins with flashes of laser lights that give life to a nucleus of light-energy which gradually illuminates participating buildings using an array of dancing lights and rainbow colour. This scene symbolizes the genesis and powerful growth of Hong Kong.
The second scene "Energy" is represented by the display of rising colour patterns and the sweeping of the lasers and searchlights energetically across the night sky, signifying the vibrant energy of Hong Kong.
In the third scene "Heritage", traditional lucky red and gold colours are displayed across buildings on both sides of the Harbour, complemented by the introduction of music using Chinese musical instruments, symbolizing Hong Kong's colourful heritage and rich cultural traditions.
The fourth scene "Partnership" features a display of laser beams and sweeping searchlights scanning across the Harbour, representing an illuminated connection with the opposite side. Beams reach out to symbolically connect the two sides of the Harbour into one greater and unified partnership.
The finale "Celebration" brings out a powerful rhythmic display of swirling, kaleidoscopic patterns of lights and beams dancing lively across the Harbour. The exciting final scene signifies the celebration of the close partnership between the two sides of the Harbour and represents an even brighter future for Asia's world city - Hong Kong.

Run by Maxim's, they serve reasonably priced yummy-licious Dim Sum and Cantonese cuisine at the City Hall Chinese Restaurant.
Best time to go is first thing they open - to get a table with a view to the harbour. The queue tend to grow at a rapid speed both in the morning and during lunch, but the efficient staff always gets customers seated happily.
It's sometimes easy to get yourself confused in the wrong crowd upon your arrival at the City. There is a wedding registry within the same building!
They serve Dim Sums in the traditional way, you can pick your dishes from the trolleys that come around your table! Definitely an interesting dining experience.

This is a family run restaurant in Central, tucked away along Wellington Street. With its unassuming front, this place is a gem in the middle of the busy Central. The friendly owners originate from Shanghai, they make extremely good Jiaozi (Chinese Dumpling) and interesting side dishes. Don't miss the chance taste the Hawthorn Tea, or the Soya drink too!
If you visit early in the day, you might catch a glimpse of the Jiaozi in production - yes, it's all fresh!

Italian restaurant with changing menu, which offers some of the best Northern Italian fare in town, always includes the antipasto misto, a selection of appetizers. If you're really hungry, you might want to follow it with one of the pasta or risotto dishes, such as the black squid-ink pasta filled with celery root, Italian cod, and green olives, or the risotto with buffalo mozzarella and black truffle
