What to do and see in Central District, China: The Best Neighborhoods

October 4, 2021 Moriah Teneyck

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.

Sheung Wan

This area has everything and is very close to the Macau Ferry Terminal. Our hotel was a 2 min walk from the Sheung Wan subway station which made this an ideal area to call home for 3 nights.

Lan Kwai Fong

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

Reviewed By natlscales - Columbus, United States

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.

...through SYP will treat visitors to some of the most interesting areas in all of HK. There are awesome bars, restaurants and street art in Sheung Wan and SYP, and K Town is noticeably more relaxed than pretty much anywhere else in Hong Kong Island.

Admiralty

Extension of Central with modern shopping areas

Reviewed By bob2bkk - Bangkok, Thailand

On my lasy few trips to Hong Kong, I have been staying in the Admiralty area. I have stayed in other areas and have enjoyed small neighborhood atmosphere, but have come to enjoy Admiralty more. The airport bus drops off at the convention center, near to the Renaissance Hotel and Grand Hyatt Hotel and it also drops off in front of the J W Marriott, which is next to the Conrad Hilton and Sangri-la Hotels so for that reason it is very convenient. Also these hotels rise above and are connected to the Pacific Place Mall. This is a luxury mall with every brand name shop, many restaurants, a cinema, and direct access to the MTR admiralty station. Trams run right out side the front of the mall and there is a walkway over to United Center Mall and beyond. Taxis are frequent and either them, trams, or MTR, you can be anywhere on the Island or Kowloon.

Hong Kong Zigang Harbour

Aberdeen is known for its floating islands where local fishermen can be seen plying their craft from their junks. It is also home to the floating restaurant, Jumbo. The best way to experience Aberdeen Harbour is to take a cruise tour by sampan.
