19 Mar Messing about in the harbour ?
A sampan is the perfect way to explore the old harbour, and even try on one of the traditional Tanka hats (note the shape is very unique!) Despite a decline in the fishing industry, you will still be able to see fishing trawlers, house boats and...

With house prices standing at 18.1 times median incomes, Hong Kong has topped the chart as the most expensive home market for the 7th year running. Not something to be proud of! #desertisland #affordablehome #hongkong #nofilter #privatetour #privateguide...
06 Mar Temple of Thousand Surnames, Sheung Wan
