Hong Kong
The City That Never Sleeps
By Michelle Doran
That old cliché "the city that never sleeps" couldn't be truer of Hong Kong, nor could the expression "spoilt for choice" be a more fitting description for those looking for a good night out. Whether you're on Hong Kong Island or across the harbour in Kowloon, whether it's 6 p.m. or 6 a.m., a truly dizzying array of bars and clubs can be found to suit almost everyone's taste and purse-size.
Hong Kong Island
Usually seen as the glitzy big brother of Kowloon, the island dominates the nightlife scene. The Island can be spilt into two major entertainment districts - Lan Kwai Fong (or simply LKF to the locals) and Wan Chai - the former traditionally the more "respectable" (read: expensive) scene while the latter is usually considered the "grubbier" of the two. Dress-codes, therefore, are correspondingly casual (think flip flops and t-shirts) in Wan Chai and flashy (think killer heels and a lot of "bling") in LKF.
