Essentials

01 Have Hong Kong milk-tea or yin-yang (mix of tea and coffee) at one of the city’s fast disappearing Dai Pai Dongs kerbside breakfast and lunch restaurants).
02 For the best reflexology foot massage, book an appointment at Joy Ocean on Caine Road, Mid-levels.
03 Peek into living rooms and offices while riding on the longest escalator in the world (800m). Embark at Central.
04 Do dim sum like the locals with women wielding clackety trolleys. Try the China Club or Lin Heung Tea House.
05 Spot foreign correspondents and take in some old-world charm while sipping a G&T at the Foreign Correspondents Club.
