Description

Essentials about Central in brief

The Central district on Hong Kong Island is the financial and business hub of Hong Kong. This is probably where the pulse of the city beats fastest and loudest. Central is not only worth a visit because of its impressive skyscrapers, but also because of its vibrant shopping and dining scene. In hardly any other district of Hong Kong you are spoilt for choice between so many shopping and dining opportunities as here. Central is also home to a number of interesting tourist attractions.

The view of Central

The best way to approach Central is with the Star Ferry from Kowloon. When crossing Victoria Harbour, you can enjoy a magnificent view of the world-famous skyline of Central. If you can’t get enough of this view, you should also take a ride on the 60-meter-high Hong Kong Observation Wheel or – even better – drive up to Victoria Peak.

Lan Kwai Fong in Central

Those who care less about views and prefer to come to Central to eat, drink and party should not miss Lan Kwai Fong. It is Hong Kong’s most famous party mile and a single string of bars, pubs, restaurants and clubs.
