Wan Chai Gap Road
By National Geographic
As you find yourself amongst lush greenery along Wan Chai Gap Road, you will be amazed at how close nature is to the bustling neighbourhood of Wan Chai, which showcases some of Hong Kong’s most dynamic culture and history. In the busy streets, traditional and state-of-the-art buildings are juxtaposed beside each other, reflecting the area’s rich heritage. A 1.5-hour walk will take you through dense trees and unique rock formations, which form the basis of local folklore, and offer you a great view of the city’s striking skyline.
