Centre Street is possibly the best view in Hong Kong. Even from the top of this steep slope you can see all the way to Victoria Harbour. Don't miss out Yuen Kee, the Chinese desserts specialist , where Mr. Li and his dedicated team start their day at 7:30am to simmer red beans, lotus seeds and sesame to create their signature sweet soups.

You can tell by the smell, this part of town is also known as ‘salted fish street'. These shophouses in Mui Fong Street were like small factories. Mr. Ng remembers how they'd salt the fish in the backroom and then dry them in the sun on the balconies. Business was great. On a good day a stall would sell 20 mats, that is more than 2,000 fish!

"It's easy to see why this is a popular spot. I find it almost therapeutic watching the trams pass by. When I was capturing the shot, this lady never stopped looking into the street, as if we shared the same thought." On Western Street is Tuck Chong Sum Kee, one of the last shops in town that makes bamboo steamers by hand. Mr. Lam's family has been making cooking utensils for five generations, stretching all the way back to his great-great-grandfather.
