The list of things to do in Wan Chai is mostly cultural activities like visiting atmospheric temples, catching traditional performances, and exploring outdoor marketplaces. Located on Hong Kong’s northern coast, this area is a combination of colonial heritage and cutting-edge cool.
Those who know Hong Kong well often think of Wan Chai as a nightlife area, but these days there’s something to do no matter what time of day or night. Wan Chai is bordered by Central on one side and Causeway Bay on the other, which means you really are in downtown Hong Kong. Its rather convenient location allows you to walk from one interesting landmark to another, or catch the MTR underground if you’re in a hurry.
Wan Chai has an excellent range of attractions and landmarks, some of which are iconic symbols of Hong Kong. If it's your first trip, there's no doubt you'll spend some time in and around Wan Chai – from the touristy waterfront, right up the hill to the more classic Cantonese street scenes past Hennessey Road.
