    Hong Kong Park

    Arrive at Hong Kong Park 30 minutes before sunrise. The quiet paths and greenery offer a peaceful vantage point to watch the sky lighten over the city skyline. It is a great place to relax in Central away from the traffic.

    The Lanes

    Walk down to The Lanes. These narrow streets are close by and offer a chance to browse silks, fabrics, and watches while the morning light is soft. It is one of the few places in this prime location where locals shop for quality goods at competitive prices.

    The Flying Pan

    Head to The Flying Pan for breakfast. Located on the corner of Lockhart Road and Luard Road, it is open all-day and serves full English breakfasts. It is a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.

Local tip

The park is best enjoyed early before the joggers and tai chi groups fill the paths. The Lanes can be busy later in the day, so browsing early is quieter. The Flying Pan is often full, so having a coffee while waiting for a table is common.

Check before you go

  • The Flying Pan is open all-day, every day.
  • Sunrise times vary by season. Check the specific date for accurate sunrise and golden light times.
