Where do you live?
Wang Fung Terrace off Tai Hang Road.
How long have you lived here?
Three years.
Why here?
I was very unfamil iar with this neighbourhood when I initially was looking for apartments – I almost turned back when I drove up the hill during the first visit!! I looked into it as I needed to be close to my son’s school on Wong Nai Chung Gap Road. Tahir is able to get on a public bus to school, the tennis court and Central within 10 minutes. I couldn’t have asked for more!
Describe your Tai Hang lifestyle?
I live around a lot of green trees and birds in a walk-up with high ceilings. The street has a very neighbourhood feel with no shops or stores. I love driving home to this low-rise, as it really feels like I’m in a zen space, away from the hustle and bustle of the big city and skyscrapers. I’ve never been a fan of living in large apartment buildings, despite being a city person. We also have a large rooftop that has been so well frequented during COVID! My neighbours and I use it for workouts, doing steps, getting on calls and dining!
