Explore the city: Fun indoor activities in Hong Kong

Located in the sleepy neighbourhood of Quarry Bay, Bun's 2020 is currently Hong Kong's largest indoor roller skating rink fitted with colourful neon lights for an 80s retro touch.

How to get there: From Quarry Bay MTR Station Exit C, go straight until you reach Java Road, then turn and walk towards Healthy Street East. Once you’ve walked past the pastel pink Fire Service Headquarters Building, you’ll see Kodak House where Bun’s 2020 is located.

Things to do: Rent out a pair of skates and get rolling. For newbies, get familiar with your wheels in the mini training area. Once you’re comfortable, boogie on down – yes, expect disco tunes – to the full-size rink to join the pros. Last but not least, don’t miss out on all the neon-lit photo opts around the venue.

Where to eat and drink: Cube O has a restaurant where visitors can savour tempting dishes such as Angus beef steak, tom yum gong pasta, French roast chicken and much more, all the while watching adorable jellyfish swimming around in the aquarium.
