Medical Resources
Hospitals, clinics, and pharmacies near Four Seasons Place. In an emergency, dial 999 for ambulance. Most foreign visitors should use private hospitals (Adventist, Sanatorium, Matilda) — public hospitals are cheap but slow for non-urgent care.
Where things are relative to your apartment
Four Seasons Place sits in the IFC complex in Central, on the north shore of Hong Kong Island, directly on Victoria Harbour. The financial and commercial center of the city, and one of the best-located residences for both work and exploration.
Hong Kong Island — north shore
Runs east to west along the southern side of Victoria Harbour. The northern shore — Central, Sheung Wan, Admiralty, Wan Chai, Causeway Bay — is walkable end-to-end or one to two MTR stops apart. This is your home base.
Hong Kong Island — south side
Reached by tunnel or bus over the hills. Stanley, Repulse Bay, and Aberdeen sit here. About 30 to 40 minutes by surface transit, with a markedly different feel.
Kowloon
The peninsula directly across the harbor to the north. Tsim Sha Tsui faces your apartment, reached by Star Ferry in eight minutes. North of TST: Mong Kok, Sham Shui Po, and the older residential and commercial districts.
Northern Kowloon
Diamond Hill, Wong Tai Sin, and Kowloon City sit further north. About 25 to 30 minutes by MTR from Central.
Lantau Island
The largest outlying island, west of Hong Kong Island. Contains the airport and the Big Buddha. About 30 to 45 minutes by MTR from Central via the Tung Chung line, which runs out of Hong Kong Station inside the IFC complex.

Status system
Mark each item as Plan to Visit, Visited, Will Not Visit, or leave as Not Yet Visited. Status is shared between Map and Ranked List. Progress bar tracks visited items as a fraction of total non-skipped places.
Offline use
All data, descriptions, status marks, food crossoffs, and journal entries are stored on your device via localStorage. The application works fully offline. Map tiles load from CartoDB when online and the browser caches recently-viewed areas. Item images load from Wikimedia Commons when online and gracefully fall back to a placeholder.
