I decided to create a separate posting about Sanghai Tang as it is something really special. If during the busy schedule of the 7th World Congress of Conductive Education you have only time to visit this beautiful flagship store you are in for a real treat.Sanghai Tang is gorgeous, stylish and a 1930’s inspired, art deco boutique.
This ‘East meets West’ designer store is an adventure on its own. As you step through the doors the spirit of genuine creativity blending Chinese traditional designs with contemporary styles absorbs you and carries you to a different world. To me it felt like arriving to a movie set and depending on where I chose to focus my attention different stories emerged blending cultures, past and present and gently immersing me to participate.
I just wanted to hold everything in this magical place, the smell in the store, the colours, the shapes, and the textures of the goods are second to none.

I can not wait for the next posting!
What other wonderful tips have you got up your sleeve, Judit?

Oh Susie,
Thank you for your kind encouragement.
I wasn’t really planning to write anymore about Hong Kong. I just wanted to inspire people from a different angle to attend the conference.

The indefatigable Ivan Su tells me that the Shanghai Tang is only 1 underground station away from the Congress hotel in Wanchai.
In which case, in my view, it's better to walk.
Andrew.
Just take the underground… and ‘stay clear of the doors’ :) or get a taxi.
By the way if you want to take a taxi on your own, make sure that the place you are visiting and the place you want to get back to are written on a piece of paper in Cantonese unless you speak the language, as not all taxi drivers speak English.
Do not loose the paper!
