the cool Hotel Ibis building

It has street markets typical of 'local' Hong Kong. One of which worth mentioning is Chun Yeung Street. With the century-old tram slowly going through it every 15 minutes, it gives one a glimpse of a few decades back. (see photo below)

Also located in North Point is the Sunbeam Theatre where there're Cantonese operas, one of the HK local colors.

A shop worth mentioning is one that has gain popularity selling 'eggettes' - waffles with egg-shaped individual pieces. If you're in North Point, you should try them out. But there's often a line. (The shop is on Kam Hong Street just south of King's Road.)

North Point also has a street with a number of interior decoration companies. But the most interesting building has to be Hotel Ibis (shown in the photo above left). By the way, it is a budget hotel with harborview rooms. (2011.10)
