Star Ferry ~ The Star Ferry has been plying the short route between Hong Kong island and the Kowloon mainland since colonial times.

Wong Tai Sin Temple ~ Wong Tai Sin Temple, a Taoist temple established in 1921, is one of the most famous temples in Hong Kong. It is named after Wong Chuping, who began following Taoism at 15.

Statue Square ~ Statue Square is surrounded by some of the most important institutions in Hong Kong and the region, such as the City Hall, the Legislative Council, the HSBC Building and the Bank of China Tower.

Some dining suggestions:

Caramba ~ Well-located, affordable Mexican cantina, offering innovative variations on standard Mexican dishes in a colourful interior.
Dan Ryan's Chicago Grill ~ Classic venue for American cuisine in American portions. All the regulars are on the menu and the Sunday Brunch is legendary!
India Today ~ Excellent value in this typical curry house, located down an alleyway and up to the first floor in a lift! Worth finding.
Kublai's ~ Mongolian BBQ in Wan Chai. May sound strange but it works! Always full of tourists, expecially on Monday nights, when food is half-price. Usual Mongolian BBQ concept ... fill your plates from the huge selection on offer then take it to the chef to be cooked.
