Island Slow Living Citywalk｜Wan Chai Chill Route

A private half-day light travel route on Hong Kong Island revealed! From a leisurely brunch on Wan Chai's Sun Street to a hidden matcha dessert shop in the city, every step holds a surprise that instantly relaxes you～

🌿 Wan Chai Sun Street: Slow Time Brunch

Wake up naturally and head straight to Wan Chai Sun Street, a small alley surrounded by greenery with many indie shops～Highly recommend A.P.T. restaurant’s customizable toast: the black truffle scrambled eggs with mushrooms is a soul combo, the truffle aroma clings to every egg strand; the tomato cheese toast’s sweet and sour sauce is surprisingly refreshing, paired with iced drip coffee to perfectly start a lazy day～

🚶 Stroll through Fortress Hill: Architecture and Light Play

Walk from Wan Chai along Queen’s Road East towards Fortress Hill, where colonial red brick buildings and modern glass curtain walls intertwine. Recommended to snap “greenery in the steel forest” by the tram tracks—a building’s exterior wall covered with ferns, sunlight filtering through leaves onto the pavement, every shot looks like a magazine spread～

🍵 Treasure Hunt in Tai Hang: Matcha Lover’s Paradise

Destination locked on Tai Hang’s Cookie Vission! Must-try is the popular matcha cookie, rich Uji matcha filling with crunchy nuts, the tea aroma bursts in your mouth the moment you bite～Nearby shops also feature local Hong Kong designers’ accessories; try on a handmade straw hat, surprisingly perfect for Hong Kong Island’s sunshine～

💡 In-depth Experience Tips

• Best time: Start after 10 AM on Friday to avoid weekend crowds, no need to queue at Sun Street restaurants

• Outfit suggestion: Light-colored cotton and linen clothes, the red brick walls and greenery in Fortress Hill make for great photos

• Hidden gem: On the way from Fortress Hill to Tai Hang, pass by the long-established “Lin Heung Lau” and buy a box of egg rolls as a super authentic souvenir

In this tiny corner of Hong Kong Island, countless small joys are waiting to be discovered～This route has no rush, perfect for slow walking and casual browsing, to find your own city corner～
