Do you think you know enough about Wan Chai, one of Hong Kong’s oldest and most eccentric districts?
This summer, The Hari Hong Kong is inviting guests to explore one of the city’s most storied districts through a fresh lens with its newly launched “Best of Wan Chai at Night Tour – Explore Hong Kong like a Local.” This private, 2.5-hour guided experience kicks off daily at 5pm and is designed to deep dive into Wan Chai and neighboring Causeway Bay, revealing the area's rich history, mysterious traditions, and vibrant street life.
From early beginnings as a small fishing village, to evolving into a buzzing center of urban life following British colonization in 1841, Wan Chai now stands as one of Hong Kong’s most dynamic neighborhoods full of surprising stories and charm. With its mix of historical landmarks, street markets, skyscrapers, and a blend of Eastern and Western influences, Wan Chai is as much about legacy as it is about reinvention, making it a hot spot for exploring Hong Kong.
Led by licensed guide and travel content creator @explore_hongkong , the tour blends storytelling with immersive stops from a local perspective. Guests will witness the centuries-old ritual of "Villain Hitting," explore a 140-year-old tea shop, and navigate bustling wet and street markets. Along the way, they’ll sample local snacks, cross one of Hong Kong’s busiest streets, and hop aboard the iconic ‘Ding Ding’ tram, all while soaking up panoramic views of the city’s skyline.
The Hari Hong Kong, championing local art through initiatives like The Hari Art Prize and The Hari Chronicles, is the perfect launchpad for this urban adventure. With interiors by British designer Tara Bernerd, the hotel offers 210 rooms and suites with sweeping views of Victoria Harbour and The Peak, while Its dining venues round out the experience with bold flavors and stylish ambiance.
And the new tour is a love letter to Wan Chai, paying tribute to its edgy, eclectic, and endlessly fascinating nature.
