Wanchai district

Just east of the Central district, Wanchai district is an interesting area. It has the new northern section along the harbor with the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center and some very nice hotels and the large government office buildings.

Then in the section closest to the hillside, there is the local residential area with some interestesting side streets and rustic old buildings.

The mid section in between is the bar district that has been around for decades.

It is easily reached by either the Star Ferry from Tsim Sha Tsui (aka TST), Kowloon, or by MTR.

Above: known as the "blue house", this building in Wanchai built some decades ago is a well-known landmark to the locals especially those living in Wan Chai area.
