For many, buying a property in the Mui Wo area on the south side of Lantau Island, is potentially a…read moregood idea. For HKD8-10million, you can pick up a wonderful three story plus roof terrace village house, in one of villages behind the Silvermine Hotel. If you do find yourself in the position of buying in Mui Wo, I would thoroughly recommend Findley Leung Realtors. They have a couple of shops along the road beyond the bus terminus from the ferry pier, and have really cornered the market for properties in Mui Wo, Pui O, and Cheung Sha. What was particularly refreshing was the attitude of the staff. I really did feel as though they were making an effort to help me find a property that I would buy, rather than just trying to flog me what was vaguely similar on their books. I was very well looked after, to the point of being driven around to view properties. On HK island, it's all about the walking - ugh! The local and legal knowledge of the staff was also excellent. Most of them live on the island, and couple of them are actual "natives" and entitled to village land, so they know all the nuances of buying villages houses. It's great to have this insider knowledge, as there is so much speculation as to rights and access to village land, that it feels worryingly difficult to buy, when in fact it is quite simple. Ultimately, if you are looking to buy in South Lantau, you will most likely come to Findley Leung, as one of the only (and probably biggest) realtors on this side of the island. I found them particularly good, I hope you do to. With their staff taking off a lot of the stress, you should only need to think as to whether or not you really want to be living the island life!

One of the oldest public housings in Hong Kong. I've been hearing that the government was going to…read moretear these estates up and put up new ones for many years. My mother used to live here when she was younger. Now this place is more known for the Instagram worthy pics because of the rainbow colors in the background where the basketball courts are located. I feel bad for the residents that live here because they have to deal with all the extra foot traffic from all these wannabe IG models...

We ended up visiting the brand-new Hopewell Mall right after having dim sum nearby, as it looked…read morelike it was going to rain soon and we wanted to stay indoors. It turned out to be an excellent choice! They are having The Exotic Pets World Exhibition running from July 25 to August 18 at the 3/F Atrium. Operating daily from 12:00 to 19:00, it was an incredibly cool experience! The main exhibition is free, featuring unique themed areas with rare species like giant tortoises, lizards, and aquascaped terrariums. It was incredibly fun and lively because the mall is very pet-friendly, so many people actually brought their own dogs along to check out the mall and enjoy the event! The Mall Layout & Vibe: The mall itself is nice, modern, and very clean. Because it was the weekend, it did get a bit crowded, but that is to be expected for a popular new landmark in the heart of Wan Chai. It has a massive variety of shops, including massive flagship stores like Japan's Nitori, Toys "R" Us, and the massive kid-focused Kiztopia play area. Overall, it is a fantastic one-stop place to shop, dine, and hang out. Between the retail options, eateries, and cool family-friendly programming, it is a great addition to the neighborhood. Perfect for families and pet owners alike!

It is unusual to be a carpenter in today's developed world, not even to say HK…read more But this is where Saturn Wood Workshop starts! And what is even more unusual: Saturn was founded by two young teenager girls! They looks girlish from first sight, but when they talked, you are just inspired by their passion in wood & design. They further break the traditional: recycling disposed wood from factory into useful products. And they do a lot of research on wooden products. They have been making a wide range: from a furniture, to a Cajon, to a delicate accessory. I tried to carpenter a wooden name-card case, and truly it is a really tough job for me. The wood is not easy to cut by hand. You need to use some strength and quite some time. But the process and outcome is inspiring. It is never a never to do something new! :) It is a very precious chance you can do your own wooden gift in HK. Strongly recommend you to join: https://www.facebook.com/saturnwoodworkshop/

It is also directly connected to Sheung Wan MTR Station Exit D, so the entire center is completely sheltered from the weather. The mall has aged well and feels much brighter and cleaner than it used to. The biggest highlight now is definitely the food selection. The lower floors are packed with quick grab-and-go spots like cafes and bakeries, while the upper floors feature excellent sit-down restaurants like Maxim's Palace for dim sum. It is the perfect place to comfortably sit down, eat, and catch up with family or old friends before your departure.
