10 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Central That You Shouldn't Miss
Delectable dim sum, floating islands, and a one-of-a-kind skyline are just some of Hong Kong’s unique features. Get an eyeful of traditional Chinese architecture in Ngong Ping village, then take the tram to the tippity-top of Victoria Peak for unparalleled views. The rocks and gentle hills of Nan Lian Garden will bring you inner peace, as will a calming cup of tea in a Stanley café. Become one with everything at the Chi Lin Nunnery, a serene Buddhist complex.

The main party street on the island, packed with bars.

The place is safe, fun, amazing. You can get 10 shots for $20 US dollars! Hard Rock Cafe is in the center and is a great place to chill. The cops are cool and no issues what so ever. You can buy your drinks at 7 Eleven and walk around. Open until 6am.. Beware: Taxi drivers will try to screw you on cab fares. Only pay what the law requires, if they don’t comply, tell them you’ll call the local authorities.
2. Mid-levels Escalator

800-metre hillside escalator starts from Connaught Road Central, runs to the Hang Seng Bank Building on Des Voeux Road Central, then passes through the Central Market and continues to climb past Hollywood Road to the prime Mid-levels residential district. The longest covered outdoor escalator system in the world.

Living on Robinson Road means this escalator is essential getting to central. It saves your knees and gives you a break if you are puffed out from walking around Hong Kong. Head up towards Shelly Street for some nice and somewhat quirky restaurants. Some good street art along the way too. Christmas is very nice as they decorate and light up all the escalators. Current maintenance work on some of the escalator route is ongoing into 2020. A free ride and if you use the MTR make sure you tap your octopus card to get a discount from your metro journey. There is a card tapping point near Tai Kwun police/prison museum.

Hong Kong Central, or if it suits you better, the Central District of Hong Kong, is a do-not-miss place to see if you are on Hong Kong Island. The tall skyscrapers are amazing. The small parks and squares are wonderful. The stores abound with the most famous names in retail present. Just the energy of the Central District will touch you. Try to go down into the Central MTR Station and check it out. Board a Tram in Statue Square and go towards Western Market to capture more of the flavor of Hong Kong Central. Ride the Tram back and go toward Admiralty. Have fun.

It's just five minutes walk from back-door of my office building on Queen's Road Central. I usually walk up there once a week to the wet market and dried food stores. I can get everything here. The varieties and prices are amazing. Yesterday I paid HK$20 for 3 lbs of small mandarin oranges. If you looking for rare items like water-chestnuts, dried olives, Western and Eastern parsley, preserved gingers, cucumbers, come to this Graham Street Market. Whether you are chefs, housewives or tourists, you will visit this grand market again and again.

First time here and wandered over to the temple. Just beautiful and serene. Lots of plaques with explanations of the different statues on display. Well worth a visit.

Flights of steps to walk up (or down depending on where you start). Take your time to walk up and do some shopping along the way. Shopping is mainly roadside stalls selling knick-knacks When you have reached the top of the steps, you can then turn right and walk down the overhead walkway which actually is next to the famous Escalators. Have fun walking and walking!
