As its name suggests, the Central district is the central area of Hong Kong Island.

Located by Victoria Harbour, it’s the commercial and financial heart of the city.

Featuring numerous boutiques, shopping malls and plenty of restaurants, this district is very dynamic and bustling all day long.

And in the evening, it’s the perfect place to enjoy the bars and clubs for a night out.

I recommend Central district for your stay in Hong Kong:

• Because it’s an excellent starting point to see the main tourist sites
• For shopping
• To enjoy the nightlife
• If you’re looking for a bustling area.

The district is the perfect place to discover:
