Known for

Golden Bauhinia Square on the new waterfront, the blue houses of Stone Nullah Lane and Happy Valley racecourse.

Why go

The houses by day, the racecourse on a race evening. The square by the harbour takes ten minutes.

Where to stay

A fit if the evening runs longer than the morning. The ferry in Central is a walk along the water.

The blue houses sit a block up from Queen's Road East, out of sight from Hennessy, and the Bauhinia is on the reclaimed waterfront, a separate walk to the water. Happy Valley lies further inland, in the valley.
