Whether you’re simply visiting this amazing city or you’re a permanent resident, there are definitely a lot of more unusual sights to see in Hong Kong. Here are Acuma Hong Kong’s top 5 surprising things to see.

1. Incredible street art

The ever-changing urban jungle that is Hong Kong is evidently the perfect location for graffiti artists to make their mark on a city. In Sham Shui Po, a working-class district, there is a huge multi-coloured polar bear adorning the side of an apartment block, bringing a new sense of vibrancy to the area.

2. Famous cats

Known for their love of cats, there are two moggies who have become celebrities in Hong Kong. One cat at a local pharmacy, nicknamed the Wan Chai Cat, has attracted thousands of admirers for her shop-counter performances. Another household name, Brother Cream, has received widespread media coverage and even has his own book.

3. Skyscrapers

The Hong Kong skyline is filled with soaring skyscrapers where you can easily work up a sweat for free, running up the stairs. The 118 floor International Commerce Centre, which is the world’s ninth tallest and Hong Kong’s tallest, could be a good place to start if you need to get in shape.

4. Happy hours

If you like enjoying a nice refreshing drink after work, you’ll be happy to hear there are endless happy hours in HK. You should never struggle to find somewhere to grab a cheeky drink or two. And luckily, for those with extra tight purse strings, it’s even legal to skip the late night bar price hikes by ending your night with 7-Eleven beers in the street.

5. Rainbow-coloured grilled cheese

One of the wackiest things you might want to experience, in true Hong Kong style; multi-coloured cheese! At Kala Toast in Tsuen Wan, you can try this incredible snack for just HK$42. However, don’t expect it to provide you with one of your five-a-day.
