Living in Hong Kong will be an amazing experience! You will love this cosmopolitan city.
Being outdoors has important effects on our mental and physical well being, especially when we are active — hiking or biking, for instance. Though Hong Kong is thought of as a concrete jungle, its density means that the wild outdoors is closer to downtown streets than it is in other parts of the world so those healthy escapes are easily attained.
Once there, you can open your senses wide. Gaze back at the city skyline seen from the mountains; listen to waves crashing on remote beaches; savour the taste of local dishes that connect you with Hong Kong’s cultural heritage; take a deep breath and absorb the smells of the forest, or of drying fish and shrimp paste in a traditional village.
Engaging your senses like this is a powerful way to create shared memories with friends and family. It also shows how Hong Kong’s countryside is not a secondary attraction but rather is key to the city’s appeal.
This tour, we are NOT taking you to the Popular Sightseeing Points, NOT going to Shopping Mall, Neither Theme park, HOWEVER you will experience more in-depth, to become a local HongKonger during this journey

The highlight of Upper Lascar Row is the seemingly endless row of antique stores, offering an eclectic collection of Chinese calligraphy, arts and vintage furniture. This runs parallel to stalls that sell an array of bric-a-brac collectibles, such as Mao Zedong alarm clocks and Bruce Lee posters. In recent years, local designer boutiques and vintage clothing stores have popped up nearby, attracting more locals as well as visitors.

Walk down Hollywood Road and you’ll soon reach Pak Tsz Lane Park, one of the 16 stops along the Dr Sun Yat-sen Historic Trail. This tranquil patch of green was built to commemorate the achievements of the Furen Literary Society, which was founded by revolutionary leaders Yeung Ku-wan and Tse Tsan-tai on 13 March 1892. The group eventually merged with Dr Sun’s Revive China Society and was heavily involved in the 1911 Chinese Revolution. Revitalised with an urban architectural design, this memorial park features exhibition panels, interactive facilities and an educational playground that traces the society’s history and revolutionary activities.
Pottinger Street and its surrounding area give a good sense of what the lives of Central’s early dwellers would have been like. The stone slabs spanning the entire street were laid in an irregular manner for a reason. There were stalls on either side of the street when it was constructed in the 19th century, some sections of this street between Hollywood Road and Connaught Road Central were particularly steep, and the uneven pavement made it easier for commuters and merchant-bearers to walk on while also allowing rainwater to flow down. Because of the unique design, locals still refer to it today as ‘Stone Slab Street’.
A true food paradise, Old Town Central is a melting pot of flavours with something to sate all tastes.
