You step out of Exit A at Central MTR and the city rearranges itself around you: glass towers catching the harbor light, trams clattering up steep streets, and an alleyful of incense smoke from a century-old temple. A local guide threads through this urban maze, shifting the map from tourist stops to lived-in corners—markets where vendors haggle in Cantonese, an old clock tower that remembers the steam of the railway, and a harbor view that still tightens the chest.
