A lot of people asked me what makes Hong Kong a great place to visit? Well, Hong Kong has always been a place that I'll never get bored with. I love the busy Hong Kong streets, the colorful lights at night, the Top-Class high rise buildings, spectacular harbour, the best themed amusement parks, the hub of International brands and the food, of course...This city never sleeps! It excites me..
A few months ago, I flew over as a solo traveler and started my journey to dig the hidden gems of Hong Kong. Well, basically, I hop on to the train and stop at every station to hunt for the places where locals frequented.
With just 6 days and 5 nights in Hong Kong, I don't really have enough time to go to all the places I initially wanted, but I managed to visit most of the places in my lists. Since I stayed in Central, Hong Kong, let's get started with this area!
How to get there:
▶ 5-min walk from Exit E1, Sheung Wan MTR Station

Ordering a bowl of noodles here are slightly complex for first timer..
You'll need to choose your preferred type of noodles, broth and also sides to accompany with your noodles. Since the "Ah jie" here are quite impatient, don't take too long to digest the menu and place your order..😆
