CURTIS BYRD

A lesser-known Hong Kong city walk that only 1% of people know about

Visiting Hong Kong isn't just about shopping; to truly experience the charm of Hong Kong, you need to measure it with your steps. Is a weekend too rushed if you only have two days? Today, Judy shares a city walk that covers island tours, artistic routes, local streets, and Michelin-starred food in just 2 days Day 1️⃣ Hong Kong Island Beach Line 🛑 West Kowloon—Tsim Sha Tsui—Hoi Fang Road Cooked Food Centre This food centre combines nearly 10 stalls offering Cantonese, Southeast Asian flavors, and Western-style afternoon tea. The variety of tastes is rich, and you can also experience the local atmosphere. 🛑 Ap Lei Chau—Sampan Fish Ball Noodles From 🚇 Lei Tung Station, walk to the waterfront street where many fishing boats are docked, which is the Aberdeen Fish Market. You can take a ferry for 2.5💰 to the opposite side of Aberdeen and enjoy the fishing port scenery. Or, at Ap Lei Chau Harbour, try a bowl of authentic sampan noodles, admiring the uncle's skills in cooking noodles on the boat. 🛑 Shek O Beach From 🚇 Shau Kei Wan, take the double-decker bus route 9, overlooking the mountains and sea from above, Shek O Beach is like a hidden paradise. A few steps off the bus and you're on the beach with clear water and fine sand. The beach is quiet with not many people, mostly locals and foreigners, each enjoying the beauty that nature brings. Day 2️⃣ Modern Artistic Route 🛑 Sai Ying Pun—Michelin Restaurant Want to taste the flavors of the past? Lin Heung Kui, a Michelin-recognized restaurant, still retains the tradition of pushcart dim sum, and you can even see some long-lost dim sum items. In such a teahouse where the average cost is not over a hundred, reminiscing about the flavors of childhood, I am willing to come back to HK for a morning tea. 🛑 PMQ PMQ, hidden in the 📍 Central CBD, which is worth its weight in gold. It is a creative park transformed from a married police officers' dormitory. White buildings, green window sills, walking through the retro corridors, it feels like you can sense the life in the dormitory buildings of the past. Now, the small rooms have been turned into history museums, art studios, boutiques, etc. It's admirable that the river of time has not flattened the historical buildings for reconstruction but has instead infused them with the soul of history and the vitality of art. • Lastly, don't let the fast and restless pace of HK blind you, its inner value is worth our deeper exploration.
