A Quick Tour Of Hong Kong
The Four Seasons Hotel
The Four Seasons is a great one stop shop in Hong Kong, from the tea to cocktails they have everything covered. The view of the harbour from the rooms is wonderful, you can watch it all day. I love the Blue Bar and breakfast in bed. Plus the walk through to IFC is awesome for all your shopping needs.
Joyce
Joyce is one of my favourite boutiques in the world, let along Hong Kong. The staff are super friendly and the buy is so fresh and contemporary. They also have really great sales. Check out their new shoe and bag department it’s stunning.

Mo Bar
Milan Station
Milan Station is my guilty pleasure, this is the bag reseller in Hong Kong I believe you can trust, it’s publicly listed and assured by the government, also everything I have ever bought there I have had authenticated by the relating brand and it has always been real. Their prices do seem to increase for new bags, so aim for the lightly used pieces to get a bargain.
Tai Hing
Go for a early evening stroll in Causeway bay, stop for roast pork and duck at the little shop next to the Milan Station, the Barley water is yummy. Pudding isn’t really a thing over there unless you want to queue for an hour so make sure to grab a yummy fresh fruit cup on one of the corners instead.
Yuet Tung China Works
This place is a bit of a mission to find in one of the last truly old Hong Kong buildings in Kowloon. It’s worth going to see it just because it can’t last much longer the way property is developed there. Warehouse shops like this are totally my childhood. They can do custom orders or you can buy on site, they will also arrange shipping anywhere (caution this is not cheap!).
Chinese Arts and Crafts
Star Ferry
Nothing feels more Hong Kong, or more endlessly absorbing then taking the Star Ferry across the Harbour. Buy egg tarts at the station to munch on during the trip. Try and take a trip in the day and the night, both are equally beautiful in terms of views of the city from the water.
The Hong Kong Bay
Seen from every angle at every time of day, it is a marvel. I love to sit in windows and just watch.
