What I managed to do on Monday (day 3):
- Breakfast and blogging
- Noonday Gun (viewed from across the street – too long a walk around the busy street and construction)
- Walked through Victoria Park – huge with lots of sports fields (inc. 6 concrete soccer pitches)
- Tin Hau temple (most important one of many, but I found it disappointing visually)
- Lunch at Delicious Kitchen in Causeway Bay
- Architecture walk in Admiralty and Central
- Drank stocking tea (actually yuangyang – mixed with coffee) and French Toast with Kaya in Central
- Rode up the covered escalators to the Mid-levels (15 minutes one way!) and walked all the way back down.
The Mid-levels are the residential area partly up The Peak. Saw quite a few expats riding up, going home after work.
The escalator runs downhill from 6-10, then uphill from 10-24, then closed during the night (there are partially covered stairs/walkways next to it for the opposite direction).
Picture a long raised walkway snaking its way through the neighbourhood, between buildings and up the hill. - Enjoyed a happy hour drink at a bar in Lan Kwai Fong (mainland Chinese tourists took my photo)
- Temple Street Night Market between Yau Ma Tei and Jordan MTR
- Dinner in market: deep fried mantis shrimp – messy but good!
