Forget generic guidebooks and overly enthusiastic tour guides that talk quicker than you can get your heard around what they’re actually saying, there’s a new audio walking tour in town and it’s all thanks to The Hari Hong Kong’s Live like a Local experience.

Now you can explore trendy neighbourhood Wan Chai with insider knowledge (sans tour group in tow) and be guided through the district’s coolest nooks and crannnies. From the hidden temples tucked between skyscrapers to the cha chaan teng (local diners) serving milk tea that promise to cure your soul, every stop along the way is dripping in authentic Hong Kong flavour.

This neighbourhood is a blend of the old and the new; think vintage teahouses rubbing shoulders with swanky bars. You’ll learn where to slurp noodles like a pro and hear facts about Hong Kong’s history that aren’t in any of the textbooks you had to buy in high school.

The Hari’s user-friendly app has interactive features that make it super easy to get around, and it even has narration of seven of the district’s hidden gems. Want the lowdown on where to get the crispiest egg tarts? Or the story behind those quirky street art murals? Maybe you want to visit an appointment-only gallery that was once a private rooftop clubhouse in the 1970s?

Wherever you choose to explore, the app has got you covered. It’s time to lace up those comfy walking shoes…
