Top 10 Spots to People-Watch
-
1. The Avenue
Ask for a table near the street, preferably under the glass-roofed section of the restaurant. Floor-to-ceiling plate glass windows provide the perfect vantage point to look down on Nathan Road’s passing parade. (Imaginative fusion food, too.)
-
2. Chungking Mansions
Hours of harmless fun to be had watching the endless stream of freaks, geeks and desperados being accosted by a legion of touts (see Kowloon - Tsim Sha Tsui, Chungking Mansions & Chungking House).
-
3. Mirador Mansions
Not as famous as its above-mentioned neighbour, but entertaining nonetheless. More weirdos. More confused backpackers.
-
4. Kowloon Park
Best spot is on the benches near the fountain in the centre of the park. In summer, there is a constant and colourful procession along the path (see Kowloon Park).
-
5. Felix
If the wallet won’t stand up to a meal, just drink in the bar and watch everyone watching everyone else (see Felix).
-
6. Harbour City
A people-watcher’s paradise. Massive labyrinth of interconnected malls with plenty of cafés and benches to park upon and soak up the orgy of conspicuous consumption (see Harbour City).
-
7. Spoon
Since Alain Ducasse opened it, Spoon has been the venue of choice for Hong Kong’s most beautiful people. Look at them or at the 550 spoons on the ceiling
-
8. The Langham Hotel
Understated and elegant, the Langham attracts clientele of the same ilk, such as screen star Michelle Yeoh, perhaps on her way to T’ang Court.
-
9. Hèagen Daaz
A frosty oasis when the mercury soars, with a glass bar and stools to perch upon while you gaze out at the hot and harried shoppers elbowing each other along the Golden Mile.
-
10. Chaser’s Pub
Primo people-watching along groovy Knutsford Terrace, one of Hong Kong’s best-kept secrets.
