City Stroll Tseung Kwan O Literally meaning the “General’s Bay,” Tseung Kwan O got its name all the way back in the Ming Dynasty, when the government sent a famous general to the bay to fight the pirates of the South China Sea. The neighborhood has been mocked with the nickname “streetless town” because of its interconnected malls and residential complexes, allowing you to walk from one end to another without setting foot at ground level. But there’s more to this neighborhood and it’s not just about the malls—despite the area’s prominent landfill, Tseung Kwan O has its beauty. 14 11 21 16 23 WAN HANG RD. 20 PO LAM PO HONG RD.

Skateboarding, freestyle BMX and inline skating are all catered to, with rails, half-pipes and bowls for all skills: from skateboard noobs to bona fine Tony Hawks. 105-107 Po Hong Rd., Tseung Kwan O, 2878-8621. 9 Tseung Kwan O Swimming Pool Sure, the weather’s still cold (kinda) but once it gets warmer, don’t miss this huge public pool and water park. The main pool is heated and in the summer season (April-October) there’s also a leisure pool with multiple waterslides that are perfect for your (inner) child. 9 Wan Lung Rd., Tseung Kwan O, 2706-7646. 11 The Excellence ( 日年華美食廣場 ) Grab a quick and satisfying bite at The Excellence, which serves up basic but tasty Hong Kong flavors including siu mai, fried noodles and Chiu Chow dumplings. Feeling creative? Mix and match the ingredients to create your own cart noodles. The Excellence is known for its signature curry sauce and super hot sauce—add at your own risk… 1/F, Well On Shopping Arcade, 9 Yuk Nga Lane, Tseung Kwan O, 2623-2182. 8 Kitty’s Kitchen Nestled in the secluded Tin Ha Wan Village, Kitty’s Kitchen acts like a canteen for actors and celebrities due to its proximity to TVB City— don’t get too starstruck if you bump into one of them, and order the signature crispy abalone: Fresh abalone which is lightly fried to keep it juicy and tender. G/F, 34 Tin Ha Wan Village, Tseung Kwan O, 2701-3136. 10 Jin Cuisine Jin Cuisine rolls out modern Cantonese fare including vegetarian poon choi and doubleboiled soup with assorted dried seafood— known in Chinese as “Buddha Jumps over the Wall” because it’s so tasty, even Buddha would leap over a wall to taste it. 2/F, Holiday Inn Express Hong Kong Kowloon East, 3 Tong Tak St., Tseung Kwan O, 2623-2300. 12 Choi Ming Market This wet market in Choi Ming Court has just had a facelift to make it a more pleasant shopping experience (think shopping mall instead of wet and smelly market). Not only can you get all your daily necessities, you’ll also find upmarket jet-fresh Japanese and Korean produce. 1/F, Phase 1, Choi Ming Shopping Centre, Tseung Kwan O.
