Lan Kwai Fong :Culture and history

Lan Kwai Fong used to be a hawkers place before the Second World War. Now it is the most popular place for drinking and dining with a vibrant mixture of different cultures.
Lan Kwai Fong is defined by D'Aguilar Street and the smaller lane, Lan Kwai Fong, both of them turning 90 degrees to form a rectangle. From the west side of the rectangle, Wo On Lane extends to host several more spots for drinks and quick eats. Some like to think of the area as extending to Wellington Street and Wyndham Street, all the way up to the Fringe Club. The greater area is so well known to foreigners that almost all of them would manage a visit no matter how long their stays are.
LKF, as abbreviation for Lan Kwai Fong, is not merely a place for pubs and discos. It boasts such a range of cuisine: from Italian to Mediterranean; from Japanese to Thai and of course Chinese. Everyday restaurants and clubs in Lan Kwai Fong serve thousands of local people and visitors from all over the world. There are lunch crowds flooding the little square for big ticket power lunches as well as for hearty dishes of Thai style seafood fried rice noodles (less than $50 each, without the 10%) that would be finished in minutes.

More than 20 pubs wind people down after work and give an exciting backdrop in the Eve of important holidays such as Hallowen, Christmas and New Year. On the average workday, the "standing crowd" of Oscar's holding their drinks spills out onto the street in front, creating a party atmosphere that draws yet more in... and it is this atmosphere that has come to be synonymous with Lan Kwai Fong, the place.
