Itinerary

  1. 1

    Mid-Levels Escalator半山自動扶梯 Mid-Levels Escalator

    Attraction · 40 min stay

    The world's longest outdoor escalator, and the very path where Faye spied on Tony Leung's flat in Chungking Express. Walk along the SoHo streets flowing beside it, following the film's mood.

  2. Transit 15 min

    Goldfinch Restaurant金雀餐廳 Goldfinch

    Wan Chai · Restaurant · 50 min stay

    The 1962 Western restaurant where Maggie Cheung and Tony Leung sat across from each other in In the Mood for Love and 2046. The red leather booths and old interior remain, so a single steak buys you a scene from the film.

  3. Transit 18 min
    3

    Mido Cafe美都餐室 Mido Cafe

    Attraction · 50 min stay

    A 1950s cha chaan teng beside Tin Hau Temple, backdrop to countless Hong Kong films and dramas. Sit by the second-floor window amid mosaic tiles and drink in old Hong Kong with a pineapple bun and milk tea.

  4. Transit 12 min
    4

    Chungking Mansions重慶大廈 Chungking Mansions

    Attraction · 40 min stay

    The multinational, mixed-use building that is the very title of Chungking Express. Pass through the maze of money changers, South Asian eateries and guesthouses to feel the film's chaos firsthand. The harbour nightscape just outside is a bonus.
