Getting to Wan Chai couldn’t be simpler with the convenience of Wan Chai MTR Station. However, if you’re coming from Hong Kong Island, we highly suggest taking the tram. The Hong Kong Tramway System is the most iconic form of transportation, and for something that is over a hundred years old, it’s pretty efficient! The MTR is inarguably faster but what’s the rush? Savor the exceptional beauty of Hong Kong through the large windows that let the breezy air tunnel through the tram.

First things first – let’s grab some Xiao Long Bao for lunch. With many locations around Hong Kong, Crystal Jade is a chain that luckily has a home in Wan Chai. This Michelin starred Chinese restaurant serves incomparable Xiao Long Bao (Chinese steamed dumplings) and La Mian (hand pulled noodles), perfect for warming you up as the winter wind sneaks in. Despite the incredible service and delectable food, Crystal Jade is reasonably priced with most of their dishes being less than HK$100 (US$13).

If you’re craving a different kind of noodle from the other side of the world, Pici is the place to go. This charming restaurant brings Italy to Hong Kong. You may not be able to travel across the world right now, but with its authentic Italian flavors and homemade pasta, it’s just like the real deal. If you catch yourself dining on a weekday, their $158 HKD (US$20) lunch set includes a starter, pasta and dessert. Trust us, the tiramisu alone makes this deal worth every penny.

After a filling lunch, going for a little walk will help digest all that food. Wan Chai’s Tai Yuen street or “Toy Market,” has a reputation for its vibrant stalls and energetic locals. You’ll find the most random things from plants to scarves, so walking down this street is always entertaining on its own.

This quaint cafe is a perfect place to give your legs a rest. Whether you’re up for a small snack or a big meal, Le Pain Quotidien provides simple, nourishing food.
