                <description><![CDATA[Go here for some of the finest curry outside India.  On the steps outside, men with business cards might haggle with each other for your custom, but most of the restaurants inside the Chungking labyrinth are well worth checking out.  Go in large groups so you can share as many dishes as possible.  <br><br>The prices are excellent too:  You should be able to feed five people for no more than £30 (under 500 HKD).]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[For those interested in Hong Kong flora and history, I recommend a visit to Sheung Yiu Folk Museum, in Sai Kung Country Park.  This centres around a restored Hakka dwelling built by the Wong clan in the 19th-century, recreated with great care and attention to detail.<br><br>The walk to the house takes you along a path through ancient woodlands, in which can be found many of the indigenous plants and herbs used by the Hakka community for a huge variety of purposes,<br>medicinal, culinary and practical.  Entry to the house is free, and you can wander around the rooms and defences at your leisure.  <br><br>Farming implements and many of the accoutrements of Hakka life have been built solely for this site.  Close to the house is an original lime kiln and jetty for bringing in coral: relics of the cement industry that provided an important source of income to the Wong clan.<br><br>There are few of these types of heritage site in Hong Kong, and Sheung Yiu receives few visitors - which is part of the attraction.]]></description>
