I wasn't expecting Notre-Dame or the cathedrals of Andalusia but I wasn't expecting something so boring either! A total waste of time. More

After the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong, this place is good for the soul - irrespective of your religion. It's beautiful and there's plenty to look at. It's also the first Cathedral I've visited where the windows are kept open - meaning there's a plentiful supply of fresh air. It's in lovely landscaped grounds not far from the Peak... More

Among the oldest churches in Hong Kong, St. John is marvellous not just for tourists but also those working at the hectic heart of the city.

Great for a quiet moment of reflection or rest on the way to or from Victoria Peak, and for those interested in the history of Hong Kong.... More

St. John is a nice place just to sit down and enjoy an island of peace in the Centre of the city. Interesting and nice architecture. The land is not owned by the Hong Kong Government but by the Anglican church. This might be, why it has not been converted into an office block yet. More
