  • Canal Road (Ngo Keng Kiu)

    Address:
    Canal Road, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong .

    Is someone getting on your nerves lately? This quirky local tradition can help you take care of them without you having to do any of the dirty work. Under the Ngo Keng Kiu, or Canal Road Flyover, in Causeway Bay, you’ll find old ladies sitting in front of miniature shrines adorned with idol statues and incense sticks. If you give them the name of your intended target, they’ll create a paper effigy, somewhat like a voodoo doll, which they’ll beat loudly and repeatedly with an old shoe. The practice is supposed to help dispel evil and is followed by a blessing to protect you from further harm. It’s a surprisingly cathartic experience even for those who aren’t superstitious.

  • Hong Kong’s Star Ferry

However, it only in  1898, when British-Armenian businessman Sir Catchick Paul Chater bought the fleet of four vessels, that the Star Ferry Company was born.
