If you’re not sure how citizens of China can enter the United States during Coronavirus, read our guidelines about the necessary steps to take. I also love G.O.D’s tongue-in-cheek designs, which incorporate everyday Hong Kong sights with just the right dose of nostalgia.Learn more What do I need to know about how citizens of China can enter the United States during Coronavirus? I love flowers from Ellermann, and I always visit Joyce and Lane Crawford - Lane Crawford has been around since 1850, but its fashion, accessories, cosmetics and homewares are entirely modern, and I’m always excited to see its unique collaborations with designers and craftspeople all over the world. And Hollywood Road is a phenomenal place for antique street markets - I always find great gifts in Cat Street.Ĭhan says: I love wandering the streets and browsing the boutiques of Soho, from the market stalls on Cat Street to the shops on Hollywood Road. Vanessa Cheung has turned her grandfather’s textile empire into a destination for the community: there’s CHAT, which is a textile and art museum The Mills Shopfloor, an experiential and experimental shopping mall and The Mills Fabrica, where talented innovators can meet the biggest names in the apparel and textile industry. I love seeing all the next generation’s new insights into arts and creativity, and there are always innovative events. Tam says: ‘The fabric market in Sham Shui Po has always been a place of inspiration for me: there are endless possibilities, from beading to all kinds of embellishments and fabrics. But as well as institutions, there’s innovation to be found. Long-standing markets of all varieties abound on the Kowloon side of Victoria Harbour as well, especially around Mong Kok and Sham Shui Po. Hong Kong Island’s antique markets and galleries around Hollywood Road and Upper Lascar Row, known as Cat Street, are favourites of visitors and locals alike, Tam and Chan included. I love the bar at The Upper House and the terrace at Sevva - though I love the street food best of all!’

But I’m a big foodie - growing up, my family always had Sunday lunch at Luk Yu Tea House and dinner at the China Club. The hiking trails amongst the mountains have the best views of both worlds. Meanwhile, closer to the city, there are excellent galleries, magnificent murals and inspiring culture like Man Mo Temple with its signature incense cones hanging from the ceiling.’Ĭhan says: ‘I love that within 30 minutes you can be transported from the hustle and bustle of Central to a secluded, pristine beach such as Half Moon Bay.

There are many lovely old villages in Tai Po, and you can take a ferry from there to Tap Mun, a fishing village full of fascinating local stories. I love the breathtaking views of Hong Kong from Lion Rock, and catching dragonflies there in the evening. Tam says: ‘I enjoy hiking the MacLehose Trail in Sai Kung, while Long Ke Wan is a dream destination for hiking and going to the beach with friends.

The designers agree that part of the city’s charm stems from the proximity of stunning natural features to the hubbub of the city life, with Tam finding inspiration from the ‘miles of beautiful natural trails’. Hong Kong fashion doyenne Vivienne Tam and famed haute jewellery designer Anabela Chan know the city intimately, and remain frequent visitors from their respective bases in New York and London.
