Not your run of the mill Hong Kong bar, for sure. The club itself is gorgeous--think steampunk decadence with peacocks. There are shows Friday and Saturday and some special occasions, and also guest appearances--tonight Courtney Act from Australia is performing. There are drag artists and an amazing contortionist, dancing girls who pose over the bar after they dance and all mingle with the crowd. It's not primarily a gay bar at all; all are welcome but the crowd is mostly young affluent straight people. The drinks are pricey but delicious. Tables can sometimes be nabbed but are best reserved. The only problem with it, I think, is that the performances are at the audiences' level--there is no stage--so if you aren't in the front two rows you don't see much. It would be great if they could put in a stage, but in the space that's probably not practical. All in all, I love it!
5. Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre

This convention center is known for the Golden Bauhinia statue in front of it, a symbol of Hong Kong's independence from the British.
Reviewed By SnowballAdventure - Barnet, United Kingdom
I had been looking forward to re-visit the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) as soon as I knew I was going to HK. This huge exhibition centre, with a rooftop designed to echo a bird soaring in flight, was built in 1997. It was used to host the 1997 HK handover ceremony and was also voted as the Best Convention & Exhibition Centre in Asia many years ago. To me, the most attractive feature of HKCEC is its exterior design and its architecture, as it's also a landmark of Hong Kong. Its rooftop was originally designed as a seabird in flight, but many people think it resembled the Sydney Opera House. Although I actually think it looks like a tortoise pulling the HK island towards the Kowloon peninsula. Apart from its amazing exterior, I also admire the interior. HKCEC is a huge exhibition hall which covers over 53,000m2. It houses 2 x 5,700 convention halls, 8,000m2 of function areas, 2 theatres, 52 meeting rooms, 7 restaurants and a huge open space area. Due to its advantageous harbourfront position, it also offers a fantastic view of the HK island skyline through its vast curtain of glass windows. We strolled up and down the exhibition halls and had a fantastic time exploring. The only downside was the building looked a bit dated than I remembered 20 years ago, but I believed it was just reasonable wear and tear. Personally, I love this venue due to my personal interest in beautiful and modern architecture. I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea as it's actually only a huge exhibition hall after all. However, I'll still recommend it to anyone who is nearby, or at least to go in and have a look at the inside of this beautiful building.
6. Police Museum

This is a small, old-fashioned (little, if any, interactive materials for visitors), and highly interesting museum about the history of Hong Kong's police. The museum is free, which is a nice change for Hong Kong and, also, a partial explanation of why no technology has been employed to spice up the institution. After all, Hong Kong is known as a really high-tech destination. The museum is perched up on the Peak, in the location of a previous police station. There are lots of displays of the Hong Kong police during British colonial times. They do not allow taking pictures inside the museum (I'm not sure why they have this restriction). It seemed to me that there was, unfortunately, not really anyone to ask questions to as you looked around. I visited the museum on the suggestion of a local, as I had expressed my fascination with Hong Kong's history. Growing up in the U.S., I had no idea that part of the famed "British empire" that ruled the seas for hundreds of years was actively involved in bringing opium from east India to China (often through the port of Hong Kong). The current political ballyhoo (e.g., protests against the government) has some of its historical roots in the British supplying of opium to China. This museum has a room dedicated to a crude morphine laboratory. Other rooms have displays of drug use paraphernalia. I took a taxi to get to the museum. I was anxious, being my first time in Hong Kong, that I would not be able to find transportation to my hotel after I left the museum.. I feared waiting out on a small road up on the Peak. The lady at the museum's reception told me to walk the relatively short distance to the main road, and then I would find both public transportation and taxis. To my relief, she was correct, and I easily found a taxi. This is not a glamorous Hong Kong destination, such as the Peninsula Hotel or Disneyland, but it is a fascinating place nonetheless well worth the visit.

Located between Admiralty and Causeway Bay, Wan Chai has so much to offer visitors, well connected to public transport, hidden gems lay around corners and up the hills, Wan Chai is a delightful neighbourhood to stay and explore. We loved mixing with the locals at Wan Chai Park Community Garden, getting fitter on the Bowen Road Fitness Trail and Wan Chai Gap Road, climbing up to Lover's Rock, exploring Stone Nullah Lane to see the beautiful UNESCO heritage listed Blue House Cluster and Pak Tai Temple, and easily catching a bus up to Victoria Peak. Not to mention stunning Thai food at Samsen, discovering Mammy Pancakes and returning to DimDimSum for dumplings and beer.
