🌆Architect’s One-Day City Walk in Central|A Pilgrimage and Culinary Journey of 20,000 Steps✨

✨09:00 Departure! Activate Walking Mode
Exit from Central MTR Station at Exit D1, and right in front is the Yingzhi Building designed by Pei Li-chung, son of I.M. Pei. The glass curtain wall and geometric lines sparkle in the morning light. A 5-minute walk brings you to the HSBC Main Building, Norman Foster’s deconstructivist masterpiece that’s truly breathtaking! Don’t forget to look up slowly to admire the exoskeleton structure and giant trusses.

🥢12:00 Foodie’s Secret Time
Hungry? Head straight to Kau Kee Beef Brisket for their clear broth brisket with rice noodles—absolutely amazing! The beef tendon is stewed until it melts in your mouth, and the broth is sweet and light. Remember to add chili sauce for extra flavor~ After eating, stop by Tai Cheong Bakery for freshly baked egg tarts with flaky crusts and rich egg custard aroma!

🏛️14:00 Architectural Aesthetic Feast
Walk to the Bank of China Tower, where I.M. Pei’s diamond-shaped facets reflect dazzling light under the sun, looking ultra futuristic from every angle! Then take photos at the Court of Final Appeal, full of Victorian architectural details, with great columns and domes perfect for pictures! At dusk, be sure to visit Tai Kwun, the former police station turned art center, where red brick buildings collide with modern installations to create a magical spark.

🍸18:30 Tipsy Moment
When tired, head to The Old Man, one of the world’s Top 50 bars! Order a “Snow of Kilimanjaro,” a whiskey mixed with lemon and honey. Sit by the window and enjoy the Victoria Harbour night view—the atmosphere is top-notch~

🛏️ Accommodation Recommendation
For an immersive Central experience, highly recommend the Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong! Rooms face the Bank of China Tower, bathrooms use Hermès toiletries, and the Eggs Benedict at breakfast is so good you’ll want seconds! On a budget, choose Hotel ICON, with strong design vibes and a rooftop infinity pool overlooking the Central skyline—absolutely stunning!
