4. BoHo

Home to antique shops, galleries, nightclubs, bars and the historic Man Mo Temple.
-
7. Galleries
Several en route, many specializing in the bright new wave of Chinese art.
-
8. Rednaxela Terrace
So named because a 19th- century signwriter wrote “Alexander” from right to left, in the Chinese manner. Uncorrected to this day.

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