Four more pages, spanning Places, Do, Culture and Food.

What's new

  • Places — Peng Chau, a small, car-free outlying island with a slower pace and a history tied to incense and match manufacturing. 45 districts now covered.
  • Do — traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture clinics, a genuine parallel healthcare system open to curious visitors.
  • Culture — the architecture and social history behind Hong Kong's public housing, where a large share of the population actually lives.
  • Food — fresh tofu, soy milk and soy products, and the difference a few hours of freshness makes.
