A bitcoin journey through Hong Kong
A full day in Hong Kong where everything is paid for in bitcoin: coffee, a tailored suit, lunch and drinks. You will need a Lightning wallet: four of the five places take Lightning only, and Montaj takes both Lightning and on-chain bitcoin. Paying is quick, you scan a QR code at the counter and pay from your phone in seconds. Start with coffee at Central Market, then take the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui for a suit fitting and lunch, both a short walk from the pier. Ferry back to Central in the afternoon and finish on Wyndham Street at night. Load your Lightning wallet with enough sats for the day before you set out.

Café
Chart Coffee
Your first bitcoin payment of the day. A small coffee bar inside Central Market on Queen’s Road Central, serving espresso and filter coffee at a counter surrounded by plants. Order, scan the Lightning QR, and you’re done before the milk is steamed. From here, walk to the Central piers and take the Star Ferry to Tsim Sha Tsui.

Shopping
Montaj Bespoke Tailors
The big purchase of the journey. Montaj has been tailoring in Hong Kong since 1968, on the 8th floor of the Universal Commercial Building on Peking Road, a few minutes from the Star Ferry pier. They make made-to-measure suits, jackets and shirts that you can pay for entirely in bitcoin. This is the one stop that takes on-chain as well as Lightning, which is handy for a larger payment. Book an appointment first and allow time for a second fitting.
