5 Best Day Trips from Hong Kong

"It’s impossible to miss Anthony’s Ranch. The charmingly campy facade looks like a barn from the American West, with bright-red shingles, wooden wagon wheels, black-and-white portraits of Native Americans, and a mounted deer head. The design—and the country music playlist—are meant to fit the menu, which focuses on casual Texas-style barbecue. While you might question the authenticity of Texas BBQ in a remote corner of Hong Kong, most diners will be pleasantly surprised by the recreated American classics, from house-smoked meats to imported California steaks and homemade BBQ sauces. There are also a number of hearty American comfort foods: cheeseburgers, chicken wings, nachos, chilli, potato skins, coleslaw, fajitas, hand-cut fries, etc. (Good thing you just burned off a lot of calories on one of Sai Kung's many hiking trails.) It goes without saying that a pint of ice-cold beer rounds out the all-American experience." - Kate Springer
