Explore: Central
Whatever time of the day you plan on visiting Hong Kong's central business district (CBD)
it's worth remembering that shops here close relatively early (6pm or 7pm), and by mid-
evening, the dust has settled. It's also advisable to have lunch outside the noon-to-2pm in-
sanity when hordes of hungry suits descend on every table in sight.
Travelling on the MTR, take the Statue Sq exit and spend an hour looking around the
Former Legislative Council Building and other memorials to Hong Kong's past. In the next
couple of hours, check out the architecture in the vicinity - glass-and-steel modernity like
the HSBC Building and colonial-era survivors like the Gothic St John's Cathedral.
Head over to the Zoological Botanical Gardens for some hobnobbing with the rhesus
monkeys. Recharged after an hour, make a beeline for the harbour for some retail therapy at
the IFC Mall. Take as long as you like, then hop on the Star Ferry to Kowloon.
