Har Gow

Prawns wrapped in rice flour casing – like a very plump ravioli.
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).
Hatted Hakka Women

The large woven hats draped with a black cotton fringe come from the Hakka people, once a distinct ethnic group in the region. Many women wear these hats around Hong Kong, though not all wearers are ethnic Hakka.
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.
Hollywood Road

Home to antique shops, galleries, nightclubs, bars and the historic Man Mo Temple.
Hong Kong Airport Planespotters Platform

There’s no official viewing area at the airport, so take a taxi or walk to the small hill (the only natural part of this man-made island) just opposite Tung Chung town. There’s a footpath to the summit and its pagoda.
In a Lather

A Shanghai-style shave at the Mandarin Oriental will leave your face feeling like a baby’s bottom.
Jamia Masjid Mosque

Also known as the Shelly Street Mosque, built in 1915. One of three mosques catering to 70,000 Muslims.
Ji Ma Wu

Decadent, treacle-like dessert made from sugar and mashed sesame. It is served warm from the trolley.
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).
