Northern HK: Kowloon Essentials

Spend a day discovering the often overlooked northern part of Hong Kong. Kowloon sits on the mainland across Victoria Harbour and is known primarily as a shopping, arts and entertainment district. It's also where you'll find some of the city's oldest and most iconic cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes). Hop on the Star Ferry across the bay and stroll around the harbour, then indulge in Shanghainese pan-fried buns, a cha chaan teng lunch and a classic Cantonese dinner, interrupted only by a bit of mid-day market shopping.
