Our 40th weekly update: Kwun Tong, drone rules, dragon boat racing, and dai pai dong history

Forty weekly updates in, the site has grown from a 22-page launch to a genuinely deep, cross-linked directory. This update adds four more pages, spanning Places, Do, Culture and Food.

What's new

Places — Kwun Tong, a former industrial East Kowloon district reinventing itself around design studios and a revitalised waterfront. 40 districts now covered.
Do — drone flying and photography rules, including airport no-fly zones and country park restrictions worth checking before you pack one.
Culture — dragon boat racing as a genuine year-round competitive sport, not just a festival tradition.
Food — the history of dai pai dong, Hong Kong's open-air food stalls, and why so few genuine ones remain.
