This convention center is known for the Golden Bauhinia statue in front of it, a symbol of Hong Kong's independence from the British.

I had been looking forward to re-visit the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) as soon as I knew I was going to HK. This huge exhibition centre, with a rooftop designed to echo a bird soaring in flight, was built in 1997. It was used to host the 1997 HK handover ceremony and was also voted as the Best Convention & Exhibition Centre in Asia many years ago. To me, the most attractive feature of HKCEC is its exterior design and its architecture, as it's also a landmark of Hong Kong. Its rooftop was originally designed as a seabird in flight, but many people think it resembled the Sydney Opera House. Although I actually think it looks like a tortoise pulling the HK island towards the Kowloon peninsula. Apart from its amazing exterior, I also admire the interior. HKCEC is a huge exhibition hall which covers over 53,000m2. It houses 2 x 5,700 convention halls, 8,000m2 of function areas, 2 theatres, 52 meeting rooms, 7 restaurants and a huge open space area. Due to its advantageous harbourfront position, it also offers a fantastic view of the HK island skyline through its vast curtain of glass windows. We strolled up and down the exhibition halls and had a fantastic time exploring. The only downside was the building looked a bit dated than I remembered 20 years ago, but I believed it was just reasonable wear and tear. Personally, I love this venue due to my personal interest in beautiful and modern architecture. I understand it's not everyone's cup of tea as it's actually only a huge exhibition hall after all. However, I'll still recommend it to anyone who is nearby, or at least to go in and have a look at the inside of this beautiful building.

Located between Admiralty and Causeway Bay, Wan Chai has so much to offer visitors, well connected to public transport, hidden gems lay around corners and up the hills, Wan Chai is a delightful neighbourhood to stay and explore. We loved mixing with the locals at Wan Chai Park Community Garden, getting fitter on the Bowen Road Fitness Trail and Wan Chai Gap Road, climbing up to Lover's Rock, exploring Stone Nullah Lane to see the beautiful UNESCO heritage listed Blue House Cluster and Pak Tai Temple, and easily catching a bus up to Victoria Peak. Not to mention stunning Thai food at Samsen, discovering Mammy Pancakes and returning to DimDimSum for dumplings and beer.

...what’s not to love? I think there’s a lot more to see on the upper floors but didn’t see everything. Looking forward to returning to try the Italian restaurant too.
