Things to Do in Wan Chai

Start things off with a good look at Wan Chai’s iconic lotus sculpture in Golden Bauhinia Square—it’s a giant gilded flower right on the waterfront. Wham, glam, thank you, ma’am. While you’re there, pick up some local souvenirs or join an event at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.

With a bag full of swag, keep brightening your day with a tour of Blue House (aka Wan Chai Livelihood Museum)—a model of early 20th-century living and Lingnan-style architecture with an electric shade of paint. Next up, reach for the stars with a shopping spree through the district’s fashion scene. That’s no exaggeration—Star and Moon Streets are home to some sweet boutiques and even sweeter eats.

History

Causeway Bay, like much of Hong Kong, used to be just water. However, the booming population and need for extensive development resulted in land reclamation and the construction of one of the world's most popular shopping destinations.

Things to do

There's no doubt about it – the number one activity in Causeway Bay is shopping. This geographically small area packs in more shopping outlets than you could ever imagine. Just about every inch of the suburb is devoted to consumerism and you will need several days to just scratch the surface of what's available here!

Times Square is the jewel in Causeway Bay's shopping centre crown and it offers something to suit every budget. You'll also be able to tuck into a tasty meal of Chinese, Korean, Japanese or Western cuisine, whenever you need to give your feet a break. Another must-visit is Lee Theatre, which acted as a theatre and cinema between 1925 and 1990 but is now one of the top places to shop in Hong Kong, most famous for its wide range of Korean and Japanese fashion stores. Still got money to burn and credit cards to flex? You'll find upmarket brands in Lee Gardens One & Two, plus there's fashion galore in Hysan Place, Fashion Walk and Island Beverly Centre.

On a budget? Don't miss Jardine's Crescent Street Market for clothes, accessories, electronics, household items and bunches of flowers at bargain prices.

If you need a break from all the shopping, hit up Victoria Park, which was built in honour of Queen Victoria. While you're here, take a selfie in front of the bronze Queen Vic statue, go for a swim in the pool or get active on the sports grounds.

Events

The biggest event of the year on the Causeway Bay calendar is the Tienanmen Square Vigil in Victoria Park. The vigil takes place on June 4 and commemorates the anniversary of the tragic military massacre of protestors in 1989, so make sure you pay your respects if you're trip coincides with the event.

No matter what time of year you're here, you can always head to the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter for the daily "Firing of the Noon Day Gun", when an old naval gun is fired at – yep, you guessed it – noon.

Getting here and around

The Hong Kong Airport is only about 40 minutes from Causeway Bay, so book one of these cheap flights to Hong Kong and then get around by train, bus, ferry or on foot once you've arrived.
