📍Lei Yue Mun, Kowloon

Seafood, sea breezes & a little old Hong Kong 🦞🌊

A little history…💭 Before becoming known for seafood in the 1960s, Lei Yue Mun supplied granite that helped build Hong Kong 🪨 Quieter these days, this coastal community still holds plenty of nostalgic charm.

Highlights in Lei Yue Mun ✨

⛴️ A nostalgic arrival: Hop on the charming, old-style ferry from Sai Wan Ho to Sam Ka Tsuen - a little old Hong Kong on the water.

🦀 Seafood, your way: Pick your seafood from the tanks & have a nearby restaurant cook up a feast!

🌕 Come for the mooncakes, stay for the meaning. 🥮✨

Mid-Autumn Festival is more than a pretty lantern moment! Celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month when the moon is at its brightest, it’s rooted in giving thanks for the harvest more than 3000 years ago! 🌾

While it’s famous for beautiful lights & delicious mooncakes, this festival is really all about one thing: LOVE and REUNION. 💛

The perfectly round full moon symbolises wholeness & togetherness. Think full moon, full hearts, full plates. ✨

Here in Hong Kong, we celebrate with…

🥮 Sharing Mooncakes: We gift & feast on these iconic pastries (from traditional lotus seed paste to matcha!) to share blessings with loved ones.

🏮 Playing with Lanterns: We walk around carrying colourful lanterns (spot the cute bunnies lanterns!)

🌕 Moon-Gazing: Families gather by harbour or in parks to admire the full moon, sip hot tea, and reconnect.

🐉🔥Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance: A treasured-community tradition where a massive, glowing incense dragon dances through through the streets to ward off bad luck!

A gentle reminder: take a moment to look up at the moon & send some love to your favourite people. ❤️ Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!! 🌕🏮

Skyscrapers, steep streets, and shop cats! 🐈

Sheung Wan is always one of our favourite neighbourhoods for a city stroll (some would call it a climb😆).

Best way to do it:
1️⃣ Start at the legendary Mid-Levels Escalator in Central near Queen’s Road Central.

2️⃣ Take a little detour to Lan Fong Yuen 蘭芳園 and get a Hong Kong-style Yuen Yeung to go before checking out the original prison cells in Tai Kwun!

3️⃣ Continue riding the escalator until you reach Staunton Street (where Bakehouse is), then turn right.

4️⃣ Walk west from Staunton Street > Bridges Street > Tai Ping Shan Street > back to Hollywood Road, soaking in the mix of trendy cafes, antique shops, and the incense-filled Man Mo Temple.🏮

5️⃣ Finish your adventure by hopping on a classic “Ding Ding” tram to rest those legs and enjoy the city breeze.🚋😌

Insider Tips:✨
Make sure to pay an obligatory visit to all the shop cats 🐈 in the nearby Ginseng and Bird’s Nest Street on Wing Lok Street!
