9:30 AM - Treat Yourself to a Shanghainese Pedicure

The Mandarin Hotel opened in 1963 with interiors conceived by Don Ashton, the art director of films 'The Bridge on the River Kwai' and 'Billy Budd,' and boasts views of the must-see Victoria Harbour. While staying at or visiting this legend, get pampered with the lauded Shanghainese pedicure at the Mandarin Salon on the 24th floor of the hotel, where hard skin on the feet is shaved away using sharp blades, and then massaged and buffed. Samuel So and his family have been performing the spa art form at the hotel since 1989. With its "world-famous" title comes a price tag of $820 Hong Kong dollars, which translates to $105 American.

11:30 AM - Sample Local Dim Sum at Mott 32

The best dim sum in town? That’s the buzz around this eatery, consistently voted one of the best restaurants in Hong Kong since it opened in 2014. Named after 32 Mott Street in New York (supposedly the site of the Big Apple’s first Chinese convenience store), Mott 32 fuses cutting-edge Western design with the very best pan-Chinese food. Aside from the dim sum, of course, check out the braised eggplant and stir-fried prawns. (Standard Chartered Bank Building, 4-4A Des Voeux Rd, Central)

1 PM - Get Your Art on at Hanart TZ Gallery

Hong Kong, home to Art Basel’s only Asian outpost since 2013, has courted a must-see gallery scene from the West.

Head to one of the finest galleries dealing in Chinese contemporary art to see the latest efforts drawing celebrities and collectors alike. For example, Hanart TZ’s “Kung Fu in Africa” exhibition this Spring boasted 32 rare, hand-painted martial arts movie posters from the ‘80s and ‘90s, depicting everyone from Bruce Lee to Jean Claude Van Damme.

Trendsetting Black Sheep Restaurant Group, which operates 10 of the coolest dining spaces in town, imported New York City’s Carbone to the SAR in 2014.
