DINE
A green star means Amber now holds three coveted Michelin stars. Dutch-born chef Richard Ekkebus is a champion of sustainable gastronomy, so you won’t find any dairy products here, while seafood and meat are sustainably and ethically sourced. The signature dish is sublime: sea urchin with cauliflower, lobster and caviar.
DISCOVER
M+, Herzog & de Meuron’s paean to visual culture, must be experienced to be believed. At once grand and intricate, its expansive exhibition halls shine the spotlight on contemporary design, architecture and art rooted in Asia, while exterior spaces grant cinematic harbour panoramas and excellent photo opportunities.
GIVE
Get personal on Man Wa Lane, better known as Chop Alley, where master artisans carve custom stamps from jade, marble or wood. Historically used to authenticate documents, these unique 'chops' make excellent gifts today. Choose your preferred material and design and watch as they are skilfully and speedily transferred onto a seal in front of your eyes.
SAIL
For a slice of Hong Kong life, hop aboard the Star Ferry, which has carried commuters across the harbour from Kowloon since the 1880s. Nine old-fashioned green-and-cream boats now ply the routes, and are a city institution. Take a seat on the upper deck and enjoy the view.
