This week: Kennedy Town, libraries, neon signs, and bakery breads & buns

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

What's new

Places — Kennedy Town and Sai Ying Pun, the Island's western edge and its growing café scene. 28 districts now covered.
Do — free, quiet, air-conditioned spaces: public libraries, museum lobbies, and mall atriums as a practical fallback.
Culture — neon signs and the city's changing lightscape, including where preservation efforts are keeping the craft alive.
Food — bakery breads and buns beyond egg tarts, including the genuinely local pineapple bun and cocktail bun.
