Sheung Wan Walk About

We did a self guided tour of Sheung Wan, headed up The Peak on the tram and walked down today, but before we did, we breakfasted at the end of the East Line ( Kennedy Town) to try a traditional dim sum place that opens at 3am and closes at 4pm.
Kai and Warrick drew some kind comments and scrutiny from other patrons and wait staff, who observed them eating strange dim sum dishes like chicken feet and milk fritter.
Had to squeeze in a congee feed at Kennedy market before heading to Sheung Wan.
We walked and walked all around Sheung Wan looking in Manho temple and down Cat's Street, that had no cats, through laneways that had art, craft and antique, and finally the steep downhill from the Peak.
For once, it was Kai instead of Ruby who was stopped on the way down by a passerby, who gave her a history and perspective of who lives on the Peak terraces, the prestige and connections of the who's who in Hong Kong.
Although we were very tired after the very long walk down, we continued to the Temple Street Night Markets.
Due to a blister on Kai's foot, we stopped for a rest at a sushi place.
Temple Street Night Markets was an eye opener because Warrick and Kai pointed out the ladies of the night behind the stalls, standing out sitting in the shadows. We later read that it was also the red light district in Hong Kong.
On the last train back to the hotel, both Kai and I were peckish so Ruby Kai and I went for supper at the Sister Wah Beef Brisket Noodle House. We couldn't believe that there was still a queue at 9.30pm. Satisfied and satiated, we retired to bed. Czytaj więcej
