Cheung Chau Ferry Schedule: Central To Cheung Chau Island

Ferries to Cheung Chau leave from Central Pier 5. They alternate between the ordinary (55 to 60 minutes) and fast ferry (35 to 40 minutes). Grab window seats on the Cheung Chau fast ferry or head to the open deck on the slow ferry ride for breathtaking views and a nice brisk sea breeze along the way. Head here for the Cheung Chau ferry schedule.

Lantau Island residents can use the inter-island ferry service that covers Cheung Chau, Chi Ma Wan, Mui Wo and Peng Chau Island.

Sassy Tip: Cheung Chau is a great spot to enjoy with your pet, but if your furry friend is joining you on your day trip, you’ll have to take the slower ferry.

Cheung Chau Bun Festival (Cheung Chau Da Jiu Festival)

The Cheung Chau Bun Festival, aka Cheung Chau Da Jiu Festival or Cheung Chau Jiao Festival, is a seven-day Taoist sacrificial ceremony that is celebrated annually. It originated in the 18th century when Cheung Chau (then infiltrated by pirates) was affected by a plague. Residents and local fishermen paraded the village disguised as deities to drive away evil spirits.

The festival falls on the eighth day of the fourth month of the Lunar calendar and it usually coincides with Buddha’s Birthday (which means you can make the most of the public holiday!).

Each year, the Bun Festival attracts thousands of goers who gather to witness the colourful parades coupled with traditional lion and dragon dance, and the ‘bun snatching competition’. Three towers are placed by the Pak Tai Temple and are entirely covered by buns (plastic ones) and competitors race to the top to snatch as many buns as possible (the more the buns, the better the fortune).

Note that during the Bun Festival, the entire island goes vegetarian for three days – most of the restaurants also adhere to this traditional so meat and seafood options may be removed from the menu during these days. Click for more info on the Cheung Chau Bun Festival.

Cheung Chau Food

Since it was historically a fishing village, the seafood is the main attraction! But there are also traditional Cantonese restaurants, along with Western-style places, so rest assured there is something delicious for everyone.

Sassy Tip: Most places are cash only, so hit the ATM before you head out there or stop off at the island’s HSBC or various convenience stores.

Famous Cheung Chau Food and Snacks: Fishballs, Mango Mochi & More

Cheung Chau Fishballs

If you’re a fan of fishballs, Cheung Chau is the place to get them: steamed, boiled in stock or served with a black pepper sauce. Options on the island come in all shapes and sizes (including the island’s signature giant fish balls!). Gan Yongtai is located in the square across from the ferry pier and is said to be one of the best.

Cheung Chau Frozen Watermelon

You’ll find slices as big as your head on offer; impossible to resist on hot summer days!

Cheung Chau Mango Mochi

Famous here on the island, a generous slice of fresh mango wrapped in a glutinous rice casing makes for a light and refreshing (and not overly sweet) dessert.

If your stomachs are full and you’re at a loss for what to do in Cheung Chau, why not go for a quick hike around the island and see if you can find the ‘Mini Great Wall’, which offers amazing views of many parts of the island? This hiking trail was built in 1997 by the Home Affairs Department and is part of the Cheung Chau Family Trail. It’s a 1.2-kilometre walk from Cheung Chau ferry pier. Be sure to look for the oddly named rocks along the path, such as Human Head Rock and Vase Rock. The entire island can be walked in about two hours.

Cheung Po Tsai Cave

La Taverna — Hong Kong’s Oldest Italian Restaurant

Veggie Kingdom 緻素坊 – Authentic Vegetarian Chinese Food

This plant-based Cantonese eatery doesn’t wow in terms of ambience or service, but through its homemade dishes. Highlights include the veggie Peking duck, as well as the har gow, siu mai, cheung fan and more — which are hardly distinguishable from the meaty originals.

Primarly known for being a top-notch butcher, Feather & Bone is also a great place for dinner, especially for the carnivorous! Head over to the display, pick your cut and size and tell the butchers how you like it done, then pick out any sides you want (we like the Portobello Mushroom Fries) and ask your waiter to recommend a wine pairing based on your selection. Or, forget all of that and go for one of the pastas, seafood or other meat dishes!

Your Neighbourhood Guide To Shek Tong Tsui & HKU

Raveena Raghunath — Sun, 05 Oct 2025 22:00:16 +0000

Formally a flourishing, licensed red light district back in the early 1900’s, Shek Tong Tsui is now a rapidly growing hotspot for unique cafes and trendy eateries. Its proximity to HKU makes it a popular spot for students, so you just know there will be affordable options and Instagrammable dishes in spades…

You wouldn’t think that at one stage Shek Tong Tsui was home to over 500 brothels given its current wholesome vibe. In the last few years, the area rapidly became an extension of Sai Ying Pun, offering up local gems, hole-in-the-wall restaurants and modern bistros. Commonly frequented by university students, Shek Tong Tsui is still growing with new unique spots opening up all the time. Not sure where to start? Our neighbourhood guide is on hand to help…

Where To Eat In Shek Tong Tsui: Best Restaurants For Dine-In & Takeaway

Po Kee BBQ Restaurant — Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant serving duck and goose in Shek Tong Tsui

Cheap, cheerful and full of flavour, Po Kee BBQ Restaurant is on the Michelin Recommended list and well worth the trip. For over 40 years Hongkongers have slurped their way through bowls of Rice Noodles with Roasted Duck Leg and in-house prepared roasted meats. Be sure to get there before 2pm which is when the pork tends to sell out (the goose, a favourite of our Managing Director’s, is often gone by 4pm!).

Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 11am to 7pm

Po Kee BBQ Restaurant, 425 Queen’s Road West, Wing Wah Mansion, Shek Tong Tsui, Hong Kong, guide.michelin.com

Malacca Cuisine — Malaysian restaurant with Singaporean and Chinese influences

If you’re craving a hot, hearty curry, sambal chicken, Nyonya golden toast or the Malaysian take on Hainanese chicken rice, look no further than Malacca Cuisine! The laksa here is particularly good, especially when paired with duck (seriously, whoever thought of this combo is a genius!). The affordable price tag doesn’t hurt either…

Opening hours: Daily, 11:30am to 9:30pm

Malacca Cuisine, Shop B, G/F, 513 Queen’s Road West, Shek Tong Tsui, Hong Kong, 2786 2488, www.openrice.com

Aya — Filling ramen & tsukemen that’s worth the wait

One thing about Hongkongers: we love a queue, especially if it’s for good food! That’s what Aya is known for, and it always delivers. While Sassy’s Managing Director, Haley, comes here when she’s in the mood for tsukemen (chilled noodles in the thick of summer, yes please!), you definitely shouldn’t sleep on the ramen either with its fresh noodles, rich broth and perfectly cooked egg! Expect your dish to set you back around $100 — a steal in our book!

Opening hours: Monday to Saturday, 11:30am to 3pm & 6pm to 9pm

Aya, G/F, Kam Ling Court, 16 Whitty Street, Sai Wan, Hong Kong, 2440 0900, www.openrice.com

The menu is vast, offering up a ton of spicy and savoury options like the mapo tofu, braised beef brisket and black fungus and pork, with prices usually ranging $50 to $75. Walk off your food baby with a stroll around HK Wall’s exhibit next door and get a few shots for the ‘gram.

Opening hours: Daily, 11:30am to 10pm

Jiang’s Hunan Chef, G/F, Fu Ga Building, 13 Yat Fu Lane, Shek Tong Tsui, Hong Kong, 3956 8873, www.facebook.com/jiangshunanchef

Katsuisen — Affordable Japanese eatery that’s perfect for lunch

Looking for sushi and fresh sashimi that won’t break the bank? We love popping into Katsuisen’s Shek Tong Tsui branch (technically referred to as the ‘Kennedy Town’ branch — yes, we’re confused too) for the set lunch when we’re in the mood for a filling, affordable no-frills meal (usually $70 to $100). Be warned though, if you do go at peak hours, you’re likely to be in for a wait!

Opening hours: Daily, 12pm to 3pm & 6pm to 10pm

Where To Drink In Shek Tong Tsui: Best Coffee Shops & Drink Menus

Twenty One From Eight Cafe – Latte art lovers adore this Shek Tong Tsui coffee shop

This might seem like just your average, neighbourhood-favourite cafe, but Twenty One From Eight is also home to a Sassy favourite: tiramisu mochi! Our MD, Haley, can’t get enough of it – and it doesn’t hurt that her dog is welcome at this joint either. Remember to snap the incredible latte art before sipping – it’s that good. If you have a sweet tooth, don’t let its French Toast options pass you by (who’s brave enough to try the Italian Bliss with ricotta, parma ham and honey?), and if you’ve arrived hungry, we hear the apple and feta pasta is solid.

Sassy Tip: Twenty One From Eight Cafe also offers multiple sets – like Tapas Delight and Duet Set – that are worth checking out.

Opening hours: Daily, 9am to 6pm

Sir Berwick by No Milkshake No Life – Possibly the best milkshakes in Hong Kong

Tucked away on Hill Road, we were initially drawn to this quirky resto for its selection of boozy milkshakes, but upon further inspection, No Milkshake No Life’s seriously Instagrammable menu is worth stopping by for, too. Its burgers, pancakes and own take on poutine (hello, cheese steak fries) are sure to hit the spot, but truth be told, it’s still the milkshakes that keep us coming back for more. We’ll happily shell out $89 for the special Brownie Crust shake!

Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday, 11am to 11pm; Sunday, 1pm to 8pm

This cafe-cum-lifestyle store serves up coffee and brunch, with a side of stationery and homeware — we know, it’s bizarre, but somehow it works. A great spot to browse gifts and get a much-needed hit of caffeine to power you up for the day, Ethos has all of your bases covered, really.

Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 12pm to 10pm; Saturday, 11am to 10pm; Sunday, 11am to 7pm

Fineprint – Affordable coffee and pastries in Shek Tong Tsui

It’s no secret that Team Sassy loves Fineprint, so of course we had to include this affordable ($35 to 45 for a mocha with oat milk can’t be taken for granted!), neighbourhood-favourite in our guide. We love its ricotta toast and half-and-half plate, and that it opens early so you can really take your time before heading off to work.

Full of history, Kwun Tong has roots dating back to before Hong Kong’s establishment as a city-state and any of its development. Formerly a salt production centre back in the 1200s, the district’s coast has been a hub for fishermen and sailors alike. Part of the district then morphed into a factory area, filled up by creatives looking to embark upon entrepreneurial ventures. Since then, the area has undergone modern development, and is now an eclectic mishmash of old creaky buildings and creative businesses, with skyscrapers divided into offices (not so unlike those found in Central and Admiralty).

Whether you’re looking to explore a bit of local history or hoping to check out some new places to eat and shop, we’ve done our research and have found our favourite and most interesting places to hit up in this Kowloon neighbourhood.

You can easily spend a day browsing its stores and entertainment centres, as well as housing the city’s largest Giga Sports location and an AEON JUSCO department.

Sassy Tip: Although a fair walk from the Kowloon Bay MTR, a free shuttle service running from the mall to the station makes it very convenient.x

Things To Do In Kwun Tong: Promenade, Park, Hikes, Swimming & More

Kwun Tong Promenade

Hong Kong is renowned for its breathtaking skyline and harbour views, and the Kwun Tong Promenade (renovated in 2015) is the perfect place to take a stroll. Offering panoramic views of Victoria Harbour, Lei Yue Mun and the east side of Hong Kong Island, a night time visit is the perfect way to unwind.

Kwun Tong Promenade, 80 Hoi Bun Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, www.lcsd.gov.hk

Kwun Tong Swimming Pool, 2 Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, www.kwuntong.org

It’s also home to an internationally recognised RC car racing circuit, a Bougainvillea Garden, playground and maze for endless fun.

Smash Factor Indoor Golf Simulator

Want to shape up your skills before you hit the greens? Or maybe Hong Kong weather is just not permitting a round outside. Either way, Smash Factor has you covered! It has 24-hour Trackman-powered indoor virtual golf simulators with 300+ real-world courses and lessons available from PGA professionals. Starting at $350 per hour for visitors and $150 for members.

Smash Factor, Unit H, Legend Tower, 7, 28/f Shing Yip Street, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 6015 2955, smashfactor.hk

Hong Kong Public Records Building

It seems only right that a city with so much history should have a place to store and preserve its stories. The Hong Kong Public Records Building is coincidentally located in an area rife with it, surrounded by buildings that have been around longer than living memory. It holds all manners of accounts regarding the past of our ever-evolving city.

Hong Kong Public Records Building, 13 Tsui Ping Road, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, 2195 7760, www.grs.gov.hk/en (only the G/F, 1/F and 2/F are open to public access)

Wilson Trail and Devil’s Peak

The Kwun Tong district is brimming with history, and the Devil’s Peak, with its batteries and redoubts, is one of the most historical spots in the area. Built in 1898, the Gough Battery is the oldest structure of the three remaining fortresses. Formerly used to guard the Lei Yue Mun Pass which was crucial to the access to the south of China, the pass was garrisoned by pirates and the British military.

The spot offers stunning views of Lei Yue Mun and the coastline from the Victoria Harbour to Tseung Kwan O. However, getting to the view is not for the faint of heart; besides taking a cab up, the only other way to access the Devil’s Peak is by section 3 of the Wilson Trail, a fairly difficult hike that starts in Lam Tin and ends in Tseng Lan Shue, stretching out to 9.4km in total and estimated to last around four hours.

Lei Yue Mun Coast Lighthouse

For a breathtaking sunset, head over to the Lei Yue Mun Coast Lighthouse. Located on a tiny rock island that can only be accessed at low tide, it has functioned for more than 50 years and still operates to warn ships of rocky terrain by the coast today. Although the lighthouse itself is not very impressive, photos taken from the lookout at sea will more than make up for it.

Blackpink’s Custom Hong Kong Itinerary: Where The K-Pop Queens Should Eat, Shop & Explore

Jessica Yim — Mon, 08 Sep 2025 22:00:41 +0000

Hong Kong’s about to be painted pink — and we’re not just talking concert lights! Hong Kong is a city of style, flavour and adventure — and what better way to explore it than through the eyes of K-pop royalty?

In this guide, we create personalised itineraries for each Blackpink member, highlighting the spots we think Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé and Lisa would love most in the 852. From chic cafes and streetwear shopping to iconic landmarks and hidden gems, discover how to travel Hong Kong like your favourite idols with Sassy! Whether you’re a die-hard Blackpink fan or just looking for a fun, more personalised and stylish way to explore the city, these Blackpink-inspired itineraries will have something for everyone hitting Hong Kong for their next concert! Read on to discover the whirlwind city adventure we’d send the K-pop queens on during their time offstage.

Group Itinerary Recommendations

Jisoo’s Elegant Explorer Itinerary

Start the morning with a trip to Disneyland

Despite being the oldest member of Blackpink, we know how much Jisoo loves exploring and taking in touristy activities, so we’d recommend a visit to Disneyland, because we know how much she loves Frozen! Often hitting up Disney World and Disney Stores when travelling abroad, Hong Kong Disneyland is a great day-trip for anyone visiting the city.

Afternoon indulgence with a twist

For an afternoon indulgence, we recommend a spot of high tea for this Blackpink member, and The Peninsula’s high tea is a must-try in our books! But since we also know Jisoo is a fan of ferry rides, we suggest for more unique experience, such as Aqualuna’s Afternoon Tea Cruise. Sail on board Hong Kong’s spectacular harbour on one of the last remaining red sail junks, with a curated selection of yum cha favourites from Dim Sum Library (available with vegetarian options too!) while enjoying the stunning views of Hong Kong’s skyline!

Korean comfort foods in Hong Kong

Knowing Jisoo’s love of rice and Korean food, we recommend one of the many stellar Korean dining spots in Hong Kong. For a Hong Kong spin on Korean faves, we’d recommend MOYO, which serves up contemporary Korean food with an Italian Twist ( the Carbonara rice cakes and beef tartare are a Sassy fave!) or Kaya, a beloved Korean BBQ spot in the heart of bustling Causeway Bay.

Sassy Tip: For those who enjoy the finer things in life, like Jisoo, may enjoy Duddell’s for stylish contemporary Cantonese fare and The Chinese Library for award-winning Chinese gastronomy in Central.

Live music and fine cocktails at a Hong Kong speakeasy

Afterwards, DarkSide at the Rosewood Hong Kong is ideal to end Jisoo’s Hong Kong adventure with champagne cocktails. Alternatively, tap into Jisoo’s musical side by enjoying live music and good vibes at one of Hong Kong’s stunning speakeasies and bars for a relaxed, low-key ambience, and all the delicious tipples.

Jennie’s Fashion-Forward, Trendsetter Itinerary

Delicious avocado toast breakfast options in Hong Kong

For Jennie, no morning is complete without an avocado toast, so APT. coffee with customisable toast options or Wanaka’s alfresco dining and courtyard are ideal for Miss Jennie Kim. Alternatively, for more local Hong Kong flavour, Dim Sum Library or Tim Ho Wan are great options for reliable Yum Cha!

Sassy Tip: Check out Sassy’s recommended Dim Sum restaurants for more inspiration!

Shopping trendy brands at Causeway Bay’s Hysan Place and Fashion Walk

Despite the potential crowds, Causeway Bay’s vast array of shops is ideal for this fashion icon. From streetwear-heavy concept stores like HBX, Juice and Fashion Walk’s D-Mop, to flagship locations of adidas (of which Jennie is a brand ambassador in several campaigns for the brand!) and Onitsuka Tiger, plus Vivienne Westwood and Maison Margiela, shopping options here are enough to keep Jennie entertained for hours!

Sassy Tip: Don’t miss Amaz By Lokianno in Fashion Walk, a hidden gem with designer figurines and collectables. Whether you purchase or not, the amazing collection makes for a fab impromptu toy exhibition and museum.

Savour Hong Kong’s delicious pizza scene

Despite her initial distaste for pizza, Jennie has become quite the pizza connoisseur. Grab an early dinner with a generous helping of divine pizza spots in Hong Kong. Our recommendations would be for gigantic American-style slices from Sonny’s or Mother of Pizzas — delish and oh-so Instagrammable!!

Sample diverse and Hong Kong-exclusive gelato flavours

And of course, what’s dinner without dessert? We know Jennie’s love for ice cream, and with the vast array of Hong Kong’s sweet treats, you’re spoilt for choice! Our recommendation has to be Gelato Messina, perfect for sampling some Hong Kong-exclusive flavours such as Black Sesame Tong Yuen or Lao Gan Ma Chilli Oil. Plus, its large portions are perfect for sharing with her bandmates and team.

Drinks at Hong Kong’s Best Bars in Asia

Finally, neighbourhood gem, Coa, or the number 1 bar in Asia 2025, Bar Leone, has to be recommended for Jennie. With friendly service, inventive drinks and an ambience that can’t be beat, Hong Kong’s bar scene is ideal for extroverts and introverts alike! Finish up drinks with an evening walk through one of Hong Kong’s many parks — we can almost predict an Instagram being taken here!

Rosé’s Relaxing and Romantic Hong Kong Itinerary

Australian-inspired cafes in Wan Chai

For a delicious morning, Fineprint or Blend & Grind are perfect choices for the singer, with its Australian-inspired cafes to give her a taste of her home in Hong Kong. Plus, with an acoustic playlist on loop and its pet-friendly facilities, these cafes make for a relaxing start to a day in Hong Kong.

A calming stroll through Hong Kong’s peaceful parks

Next up, we’d recommend a stroll through Tamar Park or Nan Lian Garden to take in Hong Kong’s idyllic nature spots amid the city’s hustle and bustle. Plus, she should defo sneak in a trip to Hong Kong’s Puma stores to see her recently released Puma sneaker.

Explore Hong Kong’s stunning beaches and seaside retreats

Then, we’d recommend a trip down to South Hong Kong to Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay or even Stanley. Hong Kong’s beaches are not to be missed and are a true gem in Hong Kong, so a trip to the beach is necessary for at least one of the Blackpink members! Plus, the seaside cafes are perfect for Rosé, as seen in her Sea of Hope performances!

Light and vibey authentic Cantonese cuisine

For an evening treat, head back to the city for a cosy dinner at Little Bao for casual and light but vibey comfort food or Mak An Kee Noodle for an authentic taste of Hong Kong dumplings! Finish off by sampling some local Hong Kong desserts — we think she would love a mango sago! Refreshing and sweet enough to satisfy the singer’s sweet tooth!

Lisa’s Energetic And Exciting Hong Kong Itinerary

Delicious pastries and egg tarts to start the day

We recommend Blackpink’s youngest member to start off with a bakery, knowing her love for pastries and bread. Of course, don’t skip the egg tarts — a must-try for anyone coming to Hong Kong! Bakeries and coffee shops are abundant in the city — and Sassy’s got you covered on where to find the best cafes!

Explore Mong Kok’s distinct and fun shopping vibe

From there, Lisa’s morning should divert to Sneaker Street in Mong Kok, where the vibe and energy suit her personality. Haggling isn’t for the faint-hearted, but we think she could do it! Plus, knowing her love of Labubus, Mong Kok is full of places to grab the next edition or alternative!

An activity-filled afternoon with workshops and excursions

Always the outgoing type, Lisa’s afternoon should be packed with an adventure. We’re thinking a workshop (we think tufting would be right up her alley!) or a baking class! Alternatively, a trip to Ocean Park is ideal for her sweet nature. Filled with roller coasters and pandas, it’s equal parts adorable and adrenaline-filled.

Authentic Thai food in Hong Kong’s Little Thailand

Finish up by hitting Kowloon City, where Thonglor is ready to delight with a true, authentic taste of Thailand to provide all the home comforts for Lisa with their stellar food. From the vintage Thai movie posters to the Wagyu boat noodles to in-house hand-made milk tea ice cream, this is a spot that is as much for the taste buds as it is for the experience.

A sober coffee rave for the real extroverts

Finally, if lively Lisa still has energy for more, a coffee rave sounds right up her alley for a fab social event without the hangover!

Blackpink Group Must-Do Itinerary

No Blackpink Hong Kong itinerary is complete without these slightly touristy, but extremely fun and entertaining activities! With gorgeous city views and prime photo spots, these are the group activities ideal on Blackpink’s day off!

The Peak at golden hour. City views, wind in their hair, and that perfect group shot to break Instagram.
Dim Sum brunch together – an iconic Hong Kong staple and ideal bonding moment. Share classic Cantonese dishes and pour tea for each other at a range of luxe or affordable Michelin-starred spots!
Night Market Street Food Tour (Temple Street) – fishballs, egg waffles and Hong Kong milk tea, plus international classics like tanghulu and crepes!
Dragon’s Back Hike – This is a scenic but not too intense hike, and we could certainly see them making memories in cute athleisure fits!
Ocean Park – for playful, carefree group activities that support Hong Kong’s wildlife conservation efforts!
