With more than a century’s history, Graham Street Market is a great place to experience life as a local. The sloped street is flanked by food stalls on either side, selling everything from fresh vegetables to live seafood. Along the market, you’ll also find traditional shops selling items that make for great souvenirs. For example, founded in 1917, the Kowloon Soy Company on Graham Street is renowned for its soy sauce made with traditional techniques.

Right on the cusp of what used to be the home of Hong Kong Island’s European and Chinese communities, Gough Street’s sleepy pace, colonial-style chic, hip boutiques and fashionable restaurants have baited a good mix of designer homewares stores, with funky retailers contributing to one of Hong Kong’s most eclectic neighbourhoods.
One of the oldest yet most dynamic districts... 1 hour
One of the oldest yet most dynamic districts in the city, Central and Western District—defined by its sloped streets and narrow alleys—captures Hong Kong’s rich and diverse spirit. Here, century-old temples sit alongside fashion-forward concept stores, while traditional tea houses coexist with modern art galleries. This colourful neighbourhood feels both old and new, proudly local yet unmistakably global. Highly walkable and filled with attractions, this area is best explored on foot. From heritage buildings and art spaces to local eats and unique souvenirs, there is plenty to discover. Whatever your interests, your guide will lead you to some of the best experiences Central has to offer. Along the way, enjoy one of Hong Kong’s best wonton noodles at a Michelin-recommended, family-run restaurant that has been operating for three generations since World War II. Its founder once served this iconic dish to Chiang Kai-shek, former president of the Republic of China.
Experience Mid-Levels Escalator, the longest outdoor escalator in the world 15 minutes
Experience Mid-Levels Escalator, the longest outdoor escalator in the world. Enjoy and observe the vibrant city life while you take on a 15 minutes ride on the escalator. It is 800 meters in distance and elevates 135 meters up to the hilly areas that end in Conduit Road. Here you will hop off the escalator and stop at a modest-looking milk tea place. It’s more than 52 years old and that’s down to one simple thing: the pantyhose. The secret to Lan Fong Yuen’s signature milk tea has been straining the brew through, you guessed it, a pair of pantyhose for an extra smooth taste.

Explore one of the city’s coolest, most dynamic areas, with a heady mix of old and new, and East meets West, and where hip bars and happening restaurants mix with old tenement buildings and hidden temples among the district’s towering skyscrapers. Best explored on foot, Wan Chai District offers a wealth of heritage hideaways and modern hot spots — be they nightlife, dining, shopping or cultural — that make it an essential stop for any visitor. Here our food tour stops at another family-run, Michelin Guide recommended restaurant, which dates back to the pre-20th century Qing Dynasty and is renowned for its Char Siu Fan (BBQ pork rice). It is a must-stop for everyone who claimed themselves as foodies. Try the Char Siu Fan, the pork is just the right amount of meat, fat and sauce, the contents of which they keep a closely guarded secret. This is the late Anthony Bourdain's favourite. You will leave with a smile and a happy belly.

A sweet ending of a food tour indeed.
