Wan Chai in Hong Kong is a place of many surprises to unravel. Wondering what they might be? Without further ado, here are some of the top things to do during your visit. There is much to discover in Wan Chai!
The Blue House
Placed at Nullah Lane in Wan Chai, just as its name suggests the building has a blue exterior that’s thermally degraded with the passing of time. It is said to have been a pre-war tenement space. The artefacts collected from the building itself has been arranged to create the feel of what life might have been like at the time in the Old Story Narrative Space within the building.
The Flag Ceremony
The memory of when Hong Kong became an official independent country almost 23 years ago is still afresh in the hearts of the locals. In fact, they relive that ceremony each day at 7:50 am when the police band salutes the national flag. Watching their pride and passion will certainly inspire you for the day.
Lockhart Road
Although it might seem like that sleazy side of Wan Chai, this is still an authentic Hong Kong experience that is quite sought-after by visitors. You don’t have to walk into a host bar, but you could still do a small walk through the streets and observe the lights and the ongoings of the night if you’ve got nothing special to do at your Wan Chai hotel.
Taste some Dim Sum
The most popular local favourite to try in Hong Kong is the yummy portions of Dim Sum, soft as you bite in but explodes with flavour! Several shops close to hotels like Dorsett Wanchai Hong Kong are available to check out the taste for yourself.
