36 Hours in Hong Kong 36 HoursBy JUSTIN BERGMANApril 14, 2016 36小时玩转香港 36小时JUSTIN BERGMAN2016年4月14日 Lam Yik Fei for The New York Times 中心区的大街。 As impressive as Hong Kong’s skyline is, the city never seems to stop building. Case in point: the rapid expansion of the rail system. The MTR’s Island Line was extended to the neighborhood of Kennedy Town at the end of 2014, sparking a development boom on the once-quiet western side of the city. Several other projects are also on the way, including an express link to the mainland border. With all this attention on infrastructure, though, Hong Kong hasn’t sacrificed its soul. It remains one of Asia’s most passionately creative cities, a playground for artists and designers, chefs and entrepreneurs.

It’s not all about the cash, though. A more bohemian cultural experience can be found in the gritty neighborhood of Wong Chuk Hang, where galleries a
