After Dark
Nightlife & Opera
In addition to the nightlife districts of Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo, there are many other alternatives come evening. [Wan Chai], for example, has a heady mix of bars, restaurants, strip shows and dance clubs, but my favorite hangout is The Wanch, which has been offering free live music and a welcoming atmosphere for 30 years. At the other end of the spectrum is Chinese Opera, which is shown at various venues around Hong Kong. I’m partial to the Yau Ma Tei Theatre, a former 1930s cinema now offering this unique form of entertainment.
Markets & Horse Racing
If you’ve already seen the nightly Symphony of Lights and visited Temple Street Night Market and the Ladies’ Market, how about an evening at the races? Horse racing has been crazily popular ever since the first track was laid out in 1846. Check out the Happy Valley track on horse-racing Wednesday evenings for its totally happening scene, complete with beer and food tents and even live music.
