MTR Ocean Park Station
Western Market
Western Market, newly renovated in 1991 and converted into a shopping complex, is an Edwardian-style building featuring shops selling arts and crafts and fabric.
The Edwardian-style building, completed in 1906 has a red brick exterior with a handsome granite arch over its entrance. The market now houses shops formerly located in old alleys in the heart of Central, which sold all manner of cloth.
The building is also home to traditional handicraft stalls and a number of cafes. The top floor is home to the Grand Stage where dance lovers can rendezvous and enjoy a romantic dinner.
How To Get There
MTR Sheung Wan Station Exit B or C.
Sheung Wan District
Hollywood Road and Upper Lascar Row (also known as “Cat Street”) are must-see stops on every visitor’s itinerary. Crammed with antique shops and an open-air curio market, these quaint locales are ideal places for picking up eclectic souvenirs and gifts.
Everything from Ming dynasty furniture and lotus lamps to Mao badges and ancient snuff bottles is on sale here. Bargain hunters will also enjoy the stalls on Ladder Street, just a few metres downhill - and bargaining over price is all part of the game.
Nearby Man Mo Temple is a picturesque tribute to the God of Literature (Man) and the God of War (Mo). The temple is located about halfway along the road and a stop in its quiet, incense-shrouded interior makes a pleasant break. You can see giant incense coils hanging overhead.
At the western end of the road is Hollywood Road Park, where a photo display shows the original old settlement close to this area.
How To Get There
- Bus 26 outside Pacific Place at Admiralty to Hollywood Road and get off near Man Mo Temple.

There’s a reason why The Peak is one of the most popular attractions in Hong Kong: It is absolutely incredible! Looking down from The Peak you’ll be amazed by the spectacular view of the surrounding city skyline, the world-famous Victoria Harbour and Kowloon, towering skyscrapers and peaceful green hillsides.
Getting there is an unforgettable trip. There’s nothing in the world like the Peak Tram. Pulled by steel cables, the tram climbs 373 metres (about 1,200 feet). It’s so steep that the buildings you pass look like they’re leaning at a 45° angle! Whether you’re going up or coming down, you’ll love this trip.
And now this fabulous vista has been further enhanced by the 2006 revitalisation of one of Hong Kong the most striking landmarks, the Peak Tower. Even more than before, it is a destination in its own right.
Once on The Peak, there are numbers of locations providing magnificent views of the city below. For great continuous unfolding vistas, take the Peak Circle Walk or go directly to the Lugard Road Lookout for fabulous views over the harbour. There are more great vistas from the Lions View Point Pavilion and the viewing terrace at the Peak Galleria, as well as the Peak Tower Sky Terrace.

- Green minibus 1 from MTR Hong Kong Station Public Transport Interchange.
Lan Kwai Fong
When the lights go down, the “in crowd” heads for Lan Kwai Fong, a buzzing centre of clubs, bars and restaurants. This cheerful warren of Western-style restaurants, nightclubs, delicatessens and bars is a must for night owls and people watchers.
Lan Kwai Fong is an L-shaped, cobble-stoned lane surrounded by Central’s cluster of skyscrapers. Nearby lanes are also buzzing with bistros and pubs in Hong Kong’s trendiest nightlife area.
SoHo
Stroll along nearby Hollywood Road and you’ll soon discover Hong Kong’s “SoHo”, the area “South of Hollywood Road”. It offers a wide range of upmarket international restaurants and bars along Staunton Street, Elgin Street and Shelley Street.
Jump on what Guinness World Records calls the world’s longest covered escalator and experience the cosmopolitan atmosphere of this popular food district. Here you’ll enjoy international fare from New Orleans to Nepal, Mexico to Malaysia, Provence to Portugal.
How To Get There
Central MTR Exit D2. Walk along Theatre Lane and uphill to D’Aguilar Street. About 5 minutes walk to Lan Kwai Fong.
Golden Bauhinia Square
The Expo Promenade (also known as Golden Bauhinia Square) outside the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on the Wan Chai waterfront marks the most significant occasion in Hong Kong’s history - the return of the former British colony to the People’s Republic of China (PRC), and the establishment of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong.
The handover took place in the convention centre with President Jiang Zemin and other PRC dignitaries representing China, and Prince Charles present to witness the relinquishment of what had often been described as “the richest jewel in the British Crown”.
The main ceremonies took place on the night of 30 June 1997. The Hong Kong SAR came into being on 1 July under its Chief Executive, Shanghai-born former shipping magnate, Tung Chee-Hwa.
The “Forever Blooming Bauhinia” Sculpture (Golden Bauhinia) is a gift from the people of the PRC to mark the widespread joy of the Chinese at the return of the territory to the Motherland after more than 100 years. Other gifts to commemorate the historic occasion were sent by each of China’s provinces, autonomous regions and other territories.
Near the Golden Bauhinia stands the Reunification Monument bearing inscriptions of President Jiang Zemin’s calligraphy.
How To Get There
Wan Chai MTR Exit A5. Walk along The Footbrige to link the MTR station and Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, About 10 minutes walk to the Square.
Tsim Sha Tsui
Kowloon’s numerous department stores and shopping centres, with their up-to-the-minute fashion items, are a pleasure to roam around. The factory outlets along Granville Road are a must for bargain shoppers.
The superb Harbour City is the area’s largest and most famous shopping and entertainment complex, which includes Ocean Terminal, where visiting cruise liners berth. Further along, is Star House, where it’s possible to pick up the most up-to-date computer equipment. The terminal buildings are connected to Kowloon Park by a pedestrian bridge.
Canton Road, opposite Harbour City, is the perfect place to pick up designer wear. Browse through some of the superb pieces from local and international designers.
A one-block stroll away, Nathan Road’s famous “Golden Mile” bustles with shoppers day and night. It’s renowned for its dazzling array of brightly-lit, neon-decorated shops, hotels, restaurants and nightspots that flank the wide thoroughfare.
More than a mere district, Tsim Sha Tsui is a giant world bazaar, where Hong Kong’s glittering harbour is met by an alternate sea of stalls, shops, markets and malls. Even if you’re penny-pinching, merely taking a stroll along Nathan Road and the streets crossing it is an experience worthy of attention.
Here you’ll journey past Bollywood-themed memorabilia, Shanghainese tailors, sweet-talking restaurant touts, gorgeous gems and jewellery, flashy cameras, international brand name stores and Asian street label boutiques. You can also escape the hustle and bustle of what’s called ‘the golden mile’ by slipping into a number of spacious and plush malls, including iSQUARE, The One and K11.
Take a short walk over to Canton Road where you’ll be confronted with the best the world has to offer in luxury designer goods, not to mention Hong Kong’s biggest shopping mall – the enormous Harbour City and 1881 Heritage, a unique experience that blends history with luxury shopping. Tsim Sha Tsui’s shopping also extends beyond these two roads.
To the east is the Tsim Sha Tsui Centre and Empire Centre, which invite you to rest those protesting feet for a while at a harbour-side alfresco bar and restaurant strip.¬
Avenue of Stars
Discover what makes Hong Kong the Hollywood of the East at this tribute to the professionals who have contributed to the territory’s hundred-year history of filmmaking.
The Avenue of Stars features commemorative plaques, handprints of movie celebrities, descriptive milestones, kiosks with movie memorabilia, a towering Hong Kong Film Awards statuette, and a life-size statue of the legendary kung-fu action star, Bruce Lee.
The location on the Tsim Sha Tsui promenade offers incredible panoramic views of the famed Victoria Harbour and the memorable Hong Kong skyline. It is also a good place to watch the spectacular A Symphony of Lights, a nightly multimedia show with added pyrotechnics on special occasions.
How To Get There
MTR Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit F, take subway to MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui Station Exit J, and follow the signs.
A Symphony of Lights
This spectacular multimedia show, already named the Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show” by Guinness World Records, has been expanded to involve 33 key buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour.
The brand-new show creates an all-round vision of coloured lights, laser beams and searchlights performing a stunning, unforgettable spectacle synchronised to music narration celebrating the energy, spirit and diversity of Hong Kong.
There are five main themes - Awakening, Energy, Heritage, Partnership and the finale, Celebration. On festive days, special pyrotechnic displays launched from the middle of the harbour add extra sparkle to the show.
For the best view of A Symphony of Lights, take a harbour cruise or head to the waterfront promenades on either side of Victoria Harbour. The show, organised by Tourism Commission, is a must-see event on any visit to Hong Kong.

After park lane became famous, Kowloon Park next to it also becomes famous. The largest mosque in Hong Kong is located at the end of Kowloon Park, which is also a place worth to go in Hong Kong.
Two Storey high white building is built across the whole street. Park Lane is located at the other end of Nathan Road, next to Kowloon Park, which seems special inside Tsim Sha Tsui, which is full of skyscrapers. Walking along Park Lane, it feels like as if you were in Paris’s Champs Elysees.
Shops mainly sell goods from famous brands, such as BENETTON, MEXX, NIKE, ESPIRIT, CHEVIGNON etc. The most comfortable part of Park Lane, is the width of the walkway, which is same as that of the road for cars.
You can shop, as well as walk really slowly on Park Lane, which may give you quiet feeling, make you feel like you are out of Hong Kong, which are always busy, and looking at the view leisurely. In the evening, light bulbs on the trees form a sea of lights, it is really romantic.
Since Park Lane is next to Kowloon Park, there are a lot of restaurants, entertainment venues and small shopping center nearby, selling trend clothing, such as Gabriel malls, Belgium malls, Granville road, etc, meeting the trend of young people preferences.
