'Yum cha' — enjoying dim sum over tea — is the heart of Cantonese culture. From old-style shops still pushing trolleys to value Michelin dim sum, compare the full spectrum of Hong Kong dim sum in one route.

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Lin Heung Kui (trolley dim sum)蓮香居 (Lin Heung Kui)

    Sheung Wan · Dim sum · 60 min stay

    A vanishing old-style cha lau where aunties push the carts themselves. The bustle and clamour of grabbing the dim sum you want straight off the cart is the experience itself. (Hours change often, so check before visiting.)

    Maxim's Palace (City Hall)美心皇宮 (Maxim's Palace)

    Central · Dim sum · 60 min stay

    Authentic trolley dim sum in a grand hall with chandeliers and harbour views. The place that best captures the glamour of old Hong Kong yum cha.

  3. Transit 15 min
    3

    DimDimSum點點心 (DimDimSum)

    Dim sum · 40 min stay

    A modern, order-from-the-menu dim sum chain. Photogenic creations like piggy-shaped custard buns make it popular with young locals. A good contrast to the old shops.

  4. Transit 12 min
    4

    Tim Ho Wan (Michelin)添好運 (Tim Ho Wan)

    Dim sum · 40 min stay

    The 'world's cheapest one-Michelin-star' dim sum. One of the four kings of baked char siu bao — a worthy climax to the dim sum tour.
