Tea Culture "Yum Cha" (drinking tea) is an integral part of Hong Kong's culinary culture. The drink - whether Chinese or English or Hong Kong style - sends forth its unique, delicate fragrances to help shape daily life in Hong Kong.
EVENING ENTERTAINMENT
Hong Kong never sleeps - the pace and diversity that fills the day carries through into the night.
Lan Kwai Fong, right in the heart of Central, is the premier nightlife neighbourhood. Ambient bistros and delis, jazz clubs and bars spill out onto the pedestrian-friendly streets as Hong Kong's affluent professionals meet and mingle.
Wan Chai's reputation precedes it. Yet these days the World of Suzie Wong and the infamous girlie bars have given way to a late-night party place. Early evening stylish bars are surrounded by the throbbing beat of nightclubs that will take you right through until the very next day. Yet sauna signs and mama-sans tempting patrons still offer a glimpse of Wan Chai's former fame.
The impressive and expansive malls, such as Pacific Place in Admiralty and Times Square in Causeway Bay, also offer plenty in the way of entertainment, including hi-tech cinemas and a variety of restaurants and bars.
On Kowloon side, neon-lit Tsim Sha Tsui is lined with hectic shops, bars, cinemas and restaurants. Dip into any of the glitzy hotel nightclubs or sophisticated lobby lounges, whose tinkling pianos and creative cocktails cater to tourists. Or step out into the heat of the night and try the local back-street pubs and discos.
