    The Cafe Corridor

    Pick up a coffee at The Cafe Corridor. It is a small shop opposite Time Square with good coffee for $26. Arrive early to secure a seat before the mid-morning rush.

    Hong Kong Park

    Walk to Hong Kong Park. Head straight for the L16 cafe and bar. It is one of the few places where you can eat and drink outdoors away from the traffic. Enjoy the calm of the botanical garden while the light is soft.

    Central Plaza

    Make your way to Central Plaza. The golden light starts at 17:27 and sets toward the WSW. During business hours, take the lift from the ground floor to the sky lobby on the 46th floor for a spectacular free view of the harbour and the island. The changing lights on the top of the building will be visible against the evening sky.

  4. 18:27

    The Wanch

    End the evening at The Wanch. It is a good bar for music lovers with live music playing every night. The sun will have set by now, and the atmosphere is lively.

Local tip

The Cafe Corridor is small with a really small entrance, so look carefully. The Wanch opens at 16:00, so you have plenty of time to arrive before the live music starts.
