Kennedy Town
Kennedy Town is the low-key western tip of Hong Kong Island, where a harbourfront promenade, old tong laau tenements, and a growing crop of cafes and bars sit alongside working piers and Victorian-era relics like the old Dairy Farm depot. It has the laid-back, salty-air feel of a neighbourhood that only fully joined the rest of the city a decade ago, making it a favourite escape from the high-rise crush of Central.
