Just prepare yourself to say "No, no, the one on Wyndham Street. No, 33 Wyndham Street," and you'll like this hotel as much as I did. Outside of location, some of the perks of the hotel included the small gym, the complimentary wifi (which normally comes at a premium) the in-room illy espresso machine, the lovely breakfast spread, and of course the spectacular views. Pro tip: both the free breakfast and free wifi were on a booking promotion via LKF's website, so make sure you book directly for the best perks. Admittedly, the decor in the rooms is a bit dated, and the first room I was in reeked of cigarette smoke, but they moved my room without issue and also gave me an upgrade, so no complaints there! On a potential corporate hotel note - the lobby is small and quite public, so don't anticipate taking meetings here. That said, there are some really cool restaurants in the same building (Boqueria, Lily & Bloom are worth checking out) that were perfect for meetings (and cocktails) in the afternoons and evenings.

Close to the star ferry and taxis are very quickly obtained in Wyndham street. The noise from LKF party scene outside can be a tad overwhelming so I'd say an upper floor room is a necessary. The hotel is not too big, the rooms are very well furnished. Bedding and bathrooms are exceptional by HK standards and tremendous value. The people are friendly. The breakfast is ok but not spectacular. The restaurant is on the top floor. The food is good and the view is nice view! Wireless lan is not free!!! The room had a Nespresso machine. All in all is this hotel ok. The location is brilliant for party and business people. Enjoy Hong Kong!

One of the busiest street in Hong Kong is the Nathan Road…read more On Nathan Road, one can pass all the way from Boundary Street to the Tsim Sha Tsui waterfront. The long and straight street was built by the British HK Government linking the border all the way to the harbour where the British marine force were, and it used to be an important strategic military route for the British, just like the Romans who build roads mainly to facilitate conquering by their troops. Along this road, near Jordan and besides Mira, one would notice a very rustic church sitting back amongst lustrous trees, opposite to the Park Avenue, the St. Andrews's Church. The Church of England decided in 1906 to built a Church in the Gothic Revival style, just like the St. James Cathedral on the Hong Kong side, to facilitate the English-speaking believers on Kowloon side, and hence it became the oldest Protestant church in Kowloon. During Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, the church was temporarily used as a Shinto Shrine, and original function only resumed after the war. As students at the Diocesan Girls School, we would recall receiving services from rev.s from St Andrew's Church. The restoration project was carried out as a centenary celebration for the church. It was highly praised by the juries of 2006 UNESCO cultural heritage awards, due to its painstaking strive to understand, recycle and reuse original materials and historic building techniques, and was given an Award of Merits http://www.standrews.org.hk

There's a small public outside courtyard, smaller inner courtyard with incense shop and reception, and three different altars. Two other people were doing devotion while I was there, a lady was washing the floor, and a man was attending the reception/shop. I almost missed it because the pedestrian street has so many things that could easily distract you and make you miss it if you aren't looking for the simple white arch along the alley.

But I believe with three "Man Mo" temples around Hong Kong and the SAR, this one is a worthy stop if you find yourself in the area. Because it is in Tai Po, it is void of tourists and quaint. It feels very local and peaceful. It was built in 1891 and was declared a historical monument in 1984. More so than other temples I have seen, this place is very well taken care of. The small courtyard was so exceptionally clean and manicured. The temple is also small and dedicated to the God of Literature (Man) and the God of War (Mo). We were the only two people there, other than the one man who was attending the temple reception desk. This temple is located about mid way down Fu Shin Street, which is a small market street for shopping (less tourist trinkets and more designed for locals) and also around the corner from the Railroad Museum.

The Cathedral Church of Saint John the Evangelist, also known as St. John's Cathedral, was the…read morefirst cathedral of Hong Kong Island and Macao. So interesting to learn about the history of this Greek Revival Cathedral from Jacky of This Is Asia Tours. It is the oldest surviving Western ecclesiastical building in Hong Kong and the oldest Anglican church in the Far East. It was consecrated in 1852. Centrally located, the cathedral is surrounded by the Bank of China Tower, Cheung Kong Center, and the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) Building as well as former government offices. It is one of the oldest buildings in Hong Kong. So easy to walk from the St. John's Cathedral to the HSBC Bank as Jacky gave us such an interesting history lesson. One day after their attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese attacked Hong Kong on December 8, 1941. During the Japanese Occupation of Hong Kong, the cathedral was converted into a club for the Japanese. Many of the original fixtures were removed. The site of St. John's Cathedral is the only freehold land in Hong Kong. All other land tenure in Hong Kong is leasehold. The first pew is still reserved for the Royal British family in case of a visit to Hong Kong.

The hours on the website said they closed at 6pm, but when we went at 4pm, a guy was shooing all the visitors away and closed the doors/windows. No explanation at all! Kind of rude, but what's new in Hong Kong? From what we could've seen from the outside, it does have beautiful architecture. Not bad for being the second oldest building in Hong Kong!

As superstitious as commonly believed, Chinese people do take it very seriously as they would bring wheels of fortune while turning the fan signifies the turn of bad luck into good. The establishment of this fascinating temple was due to the desperate move from the authorities back then to suppress the epidemic that killed quite a number of people. Legend has it that the pandemic showed signs of subdue upon the successful completion of the construction. I have never been much of a believer and I have only been there with my parents several times but I am sure this will be an eye-opener for both tourists and the new generations as this place is filled with traditional Chinese culture like the color of red and the Chinese zodiac, etc. Do not forget to go inside the main hall as there erected the magnificent statue of Che Kung which is laid with gold. Also, outside you may find quite a lot of fortune-tellers who may be able to change your luck in the coming year!

The Che Kung Temple is one of the busiest temples in Hong Kong and is usually packed with visitors…read morefrom Hong Kong and the Mainland. Interestingly, the temple is home to three religions - Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. This mix makes it an extremely spiritual place in Wong Tai Sin, and I noticed when I visited that it did indeed feel a little more dynamic than some other temples I've been to in HK. For one, the architecture is a little bolder. There are twelve statues as you enter the temple, each of them with the body of a human, but each with the head of a different Chinese zodiac animal. It's a really good spot to take a few photos with your own respective animal, but be wary of the lines of visitors with their cameras ready for the hunt... As you head up the steps, you'll find yourself in the main courtyard with the main sight - the temple itself. The traditional style of this temple means plenty of orange, yellow and of course, red. When I visited there were lanterns hanging across the temple roofs, all a little too gimmicky, methinks. This was only emphasized when you do what most of the people do at the temple: find out what your future holds!! You can ask at the temple stall for a cup of lollipop sticks, each one with a number. As you kneel and face the deities at the temple, you shake the cup until one falls out. After this often lengthy process, you can take the stick to the reader and find out what's in store for you, if one were so mystically inclined... As we were about to leave the temple, we took a turn into the wonderfully named 'Good Wish Garden'. If your fortune telling didn't go so well this time round, this may be a good place to contemplate things and put your mind at ease by the koi fish pond and man-made waterfall. We were definitely glad to have taken the extra half hour walking around the pagodas and over the bridges, beating the crowds that swarmed around the main activities.
