This week: Yuen Long, heritage walks, the Chinese zodiac, and how the Michelin Guide works here

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

What's new

  • Places — Yuen Long, a western New Territories market town with some of Hong Kong's best-preserved walled villages nearby. 41 districts now covered.
  • Do — cemetery and colonial heritage walks, including the Hong Kong Cemetery's cluster of Catholic, Muslim, Jewish and Parsi burial grounds.
  • Culture — the Chinese zodiac and birth-year astrology, still a genuine everyday conversation topic.
  • Food — how the Michelin Guide actually works in Hong Kong, and why the city punches so far above its size.
