“But this is also where the big fashion houses have their factories. He took us (me and the lovely Vivians) to an overpass so we could see just how industrial the city is. “Every two buildings there is a new building in construction,” Perregaux told me. After my day-long tour around the town, I can say turning back on Wong Chuk Hang would be turning your back on adventure. A tourist visiting the place for the first time, like myself, may want to turn back and return to vibrant Central, Tsim Tsa Tsui, or Sheung Wan. A concrete-jungle-where-dreams-are-scary-and-about-zombies vibe. Wong Chuk Hang has an I Am Legend vibe to it. I wonder where all the people are coming from, considering I didn’t see a single person while I was walking around aimlessly. Now where exactly do these hipsters eat?Īfter circling two blocks, which include several construction sites, and an intimidating, very authentic Chinese restaurant, I exit a football stadium and find myself in a caffeine mecca - a building with four different hipster-looking restaurants on its ground floor. This factory town in the south side of Hong Kong Island is a new center of style and creativity - a center for hipster creatives, I was told. But there’s more to the town than meets the eye. Literally, the area is all gray, save for a few new glass-walled buildings that are still in construction. Wong Chuk Hang station is in a gray area in Hong Kong. But it turns out, Wong Chuk Hang is very different from my basecamp for this trip, Central. With lots of time to spare, I attempted to walk around to look for a cute place to eat - experience tells me there are a lot of these in Hong Kong. I arrived at Wong Chuk Hang at lunchtime, two hours before my scheduled tour: a visit to local art gems that only Hong Kongers know, courtesy of South Island Cultural District’s executive chairman Dominique Perregaux, and Hong Kong Tourism Board’s Vivian Li and Vivian Lai. In Hong Kong, a district without an MTR stop is a district without 7-Elevens and Sasas, as I later on discovered. The destination itself, Wong Chuk Hang, is only starting to get attention itself. Having just recently opened, people, even locals, are still getting to know all about it and its brand-new ticket dispensers. Before December last year, my destination didn’t exist - the station, I mean. Mobile map in hand, I boarded the South Island Line from Admiralty and headed for Wong Chuk Hang, just one station shy of Ocean Park. Possessed by the spirit of a Bowie quote, I took the Hong Kong MTR for the first time in five years to a location little known to tourists.
