Wan Chai would definitely be a must-see for me. I love old towns. I can see why the Blue House is a highlight. It definitely stands out. I also love the houses that you showed in the first photo. I would definitely take this Heritage Walk when I visit Hong Kong.

I agree and feel the exact same way, I love walking around in areas that have long been inhabited. I definately feel the energy and often try to visualize what it was like. Thanks for taking me along the walk with you. I really love the colour of the Blue House and the Comix House woulds also interest me.

In reply to Nick Wheatley. Nick, if you love old town, Wan Chai is a lovely walk through old and very colorful neighborhoods.

Wan Chai sounds pretty cool! I love walking around old neighborhoods as well – exploring old landmarks and temples like the Pak Tai and Hung Shing Temples (you’re lucky the priest let you take a photo in there!)

I bright the colors of the buildings are beautiful, and I like that they just name them after the colors themselves (keep it simple!). I have never been to Hong Kong but this looks like a great little stroll though history. Would love to check it out one day!

In reply to Janine Thomas.

Janine – In Goa, India there is a similar story with Yellow color. I guess the economies worked differently a century back or so. It is a lovely walk to do – hope you get to do it soon enough.

I wish that I had known about this when I was in Hong Kong. It looks like a stunning walk. The story behind the Blue House is really interesting. Can you imagine a road filled with blue houses?

I have bookmarked this for my next visit!
