Hong Kong’s First Winery

Unless you’re shopping for furniture or visiting the Lane Crawford outlet as a tourist, there is probably no other reason why you’d make a trip to Ap Lei Chau. Most locals haven’t even gone there, as it’s mostly residential. If you have been there, you might have noticed a sort of post-industrial vibe (evidenced by the move of the power station) that couldn’t seem farther away from Central. Which makes it all the more surprising that there’s also a winery out there.

It has been over 60 years since end of hostilities in the Pacific. Perhaps it’s a good time to look back and learn about Hong Kong’s role in that conflict. A good place to start is at the Museum of Coastal Defence in Eastern District and discover a part of Hong Kong that is ignored by many expats.
But don’t fear, this is not dusty history – the museum is built inside and above an old fort overlooking the narrowest stretch of Victoria Harbour, and it’s easy to look around and imagine how things must have been. The exhibitions on site are absorbing, and you can take in some typical local scenes on the way there and back.
