Wan Chai - Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay, Lockhart Road, Times Square, Gloucester Road

Wan Chai is a vibrant district, situated on central Hong Kong Island, bordering Central district to the West and Eastern district to the East. Together with Central, it is the district that has the largest number of skyscrapers and the most impressive skyline in Hong Kong. Wan Chai is the most central neighbourhood in the Wan Chai district, that also includes part of Causeway Bay.
Wan Chai is 100% Hong Kong, filled with a mix of crowded streets, neon lights, luxury hotels, cheap stores and restaurants, luxury hotels, wide roads, gritty streets, rundown residential highrises, well maintained parks, expensive department stores and tall skyscrapers! Wan Chai is filled with skybridges above trafficated roads. The southern part is very hilly and is sloping towards the mountains in the middle of Hong Kong Island. Gloucester Road, parallel with Victoria Harbour, is the most impressive one. From its skybridges you have really impressive views over the city! Hennessy Road and Lockhart Road are other examples. The most importants buildings in Wan Chai are Central Plaza, HK:s 3rd tallest skyscraper (that also offers a free observation deck), the huge Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre at Victoria Harbour and Hopewell Centre with its rotating restaurant and glass elevators. Wan Chai is also known for its bar districts, its restaurants and its wide range of different religious buildings. Wan Chai was actually my favourite district in Hong Kong, even though we just visited once. Don't miss part 1.
