One of the world\u2019s great cities, Hong Kong<\/a> is best known for its cloud-scraping skyline. Beyond those buildings, for those who dig a little deeper, the rewards are endless \u2013 streets where different cultures come together, where contemporary and traditional collide, and urban and nature sit side by side. Our guide to Hong Kong’s best neighbourhoods will help you find all that and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, a Hong Kong holiday<\/a> isn\u2019t just about exploring a city, it\u2019s about delving into a rich conglomeration of neighbourhoods, each unique, each with its own history and culture, each offering something different to do, see, enjoy, and experience. It\u2019s at this level that you\u2019ll find true authenticity, when you\u2019ll discover those memorable corners full of local charm, things that you\u2019ll be so glad you didn\u2019t miss.

So, how do you want to spend your time in Hong Kong? There really is something for everyone! Read on to find the best areas of Hong Kong to explore…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Central<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"The
The Victoria Peak tram, opened in 1888, runs from Central up to Victoria Peak, Hong Kong’s greatest viewpoint.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Central is the quintessential image of Hong Kong, so of course it appears on a list of best neighbourhoods to explore! A tightly packed area of skyscrapers housing financial institutions and international corporations today, this is where Hong Kong began. Among the steel towers is where you\u2019ll find the starkest fusion of East and West, on the atmospheric lanes where old temples hide and the very first businesses traded. Today, those traditional remnants stand side by side with world class eateries, vibrant bars, and contemporary art galleries and heritage arts venues like Tai Kwun. Central is also where you\u2019ll find the iconic Victoria Peak Tram which will whisk you up to the city’s best viewpoint on top of Victoria Peak, and the Mid-Levels escalator, the world\u2019s longest outdoor covered walkway system, an easy and convenient way to see the sights of the Mid-Levels neighbourhood.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

West Kowloon<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"View
Pathways wind through the parks and gardens of the West Kowloon Cultural District, leading to world class art and cultural institutions like M+.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

West Kowloon is always high on the list of best places in Hong Kong to explore, as an impressive collection of shopping areas, restaurants, and hotels, it is one of the top places for visitors to stay. It is home to the West Kowloon Cultural District, which is centred around three world class art and cultural institutions \u2013 M+<\/a>, the Hong Kong Palace Museum and the Xiqu Centre, an area crisscrossed with paths and gardens that offer fabulous views over Victoria Harbour. This is the place to get your culture fix, from imperial artefacts to traditional opera performances. Don’t forget to look behind the modern fa\u00e7ade for the network of alleyways where elderly artisans still practice traditional crafts like silk tailoring, mahjong making and jewellery making – they are a delight to explore.

Watching over it all is the ICC, Hong Kong\u2019s tallest skyscraper, which sits on top of the Elements mall. Inside is the sky100 Observation Deck<\/a>, on the 100th<\/sup> floor, which gives unparalleled 360\u00b0 views over the city and the sea beyond. Up here you\u2019ll also find exhibits on Hong Kong\u2019s history and culture and Caf\u00e9 100 by The Ritz-Carlton<\/a>, for tasty food with incredible views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yau Tsim Mong<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"View
Mong Kok’s Ladies’ Market is a one kilometre stretch of stalls selling clothing, accessories, cosmetics and souvenirs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ok, a bit of a cheat here – Yau Tsim Mong is not one but three we’ve added to the list of Hong Kong’s best neighbourhoods! Occupying the end of Kowloon Peninsula, the component parts of Yau Tsim Mong are Yau Ma Tei, Tsim Sha Tsui and Mong Kok, Hong Kong\u2019s most fascinating localities. Once occupied by a few quaint fishing villages, the area exploded into a maze of neon-lit streets, huge shopping malls and packed night markets and is the best place to explore, and get a taste of, the city\u2019s incredible diversity. Here, street hawkers selling delicious street snacks sit metres from Michelin-starred restaurants and swanky high-rise hotels, market stalls selling everything from make up to electronics next to luxury, designer stores like Chanel and Louis Vuitton, the streets full of people from every walk of life, going about their days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tsim Sha Tsui<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With its abundance of shops, restaurants, and hotels, Tsim Sha Tsui is wonderfully vibrant. There is plenty of culture to be discovered along its bustling streets as well as spectacular views across the harbour of Hong Kong\u2019s iconic skyline. Connected to Central by the iconic Star Ferry<\/a>, it is on Tsim Sha Tsui\u2019s waterfront that tourists gather at 8pm every night to enjoy \u2018A Symphony of Lights\u2019, the magnificent multimedia light show that makes use of 40 of the soaring buildings across the harbour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mong Kok<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Mong Kok is one of the world\u2019s most densely populated areas, a fascinating fusion of the historic mansions and modern high-rise buildings, its streets brightly lit with a plethora of neon signage. This is the place to come for excellent street food and for markets which are handily named, in the traditional style, after the items they sell. Head to Ladies Market for women\u2019s clothing and cosmetics, to the Flower Market for flowers and plants, and the Bird Market for birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yau Ma Tei<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Once a small fishing village, Yau Ma Tei is now the home of traders, markets and a few lovely cultural sites. It\u2019s here that you can practice your bargaining skills at the famous Temple Street Night Market and Jade Street, where you can shop for jade pieces, as well as visiting the old Tin Hau (goddess of the sea) temple, and the distinctively Art Deco Yau Ma Tei Theatre for some historical insight. There are also some excellent restaurants in the district, serving a diverse range of international cuisines \u2013 head to the quaint Mido Caf\u00e9 to experience one of Hong Kong\u2019s institutions, a cha-chaan-teng (traditional diner) for a milk tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sham Shui Po<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"High
The industrial architecture of Sham Shui Po has been repurposed to house shops, cafes and restaurants in a neighbourhood this is popular with the Hong Kong locals. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Offering the best \u2018local\u2019 vibe of Hong Kong\u2019s neighbourhoods and an eclectic collection of contrasts, Sham Shui Po is an old manufacturing district that once churned out textiles. The industrial architecture has been repurposed, to host unique boutique stores, coffee shops and studio space, creating a haven for shoppers, especially those who love to explore a treasure trove of retro. Hong Kongers, though, come for the food, dining in the family-run noodle cafes, Michelin-recommended dim sum restaurants like Tim Ho Wan, and to visit the street vendors who serve the best local snacks \u2013 we\u2019d recommend it as one of the best foodie areas of Hong Kong to explore!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sheung Wan<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Looking
One of Hong Kong’s oldest neighbourhoods and now arguably its coolest, Sheung Wan counts a taste of old-world China among its many charms. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Arguably the coolest of all of Hong Kong\u2019s neighbourhoods, Sheung Wan is a chic coming together of old and new. A lively area, popular with locals, you\u2019ll find an eclectic collection of traditional \u2013 think Chinese herbal medicine shops, dried seafood, traditional coffin shops and incense fragranced temples like Man Mo, alongside all the trappings of modern Hong Kong. For coffee lovers, the caf\u00e9 options are wide and wonderful, there are art galleries to wander and boutique shops to browse in. Food-wise there are even more choices, from sophisticated bistros to local gems like the Queen Street Cooked Food Market. The pace of life feels slower here compared to some of the other districts, and the old-world Chinese charm can be a welcome change to the overt contemporary of other parts of the city, making Sheung Wan a great place to explore.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sai Kung<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"View
Not many people realise that 70% of Hong Kong is green space with a remarkable range of landscapes to explore. Sai Kung gives access to some of this wonderful nature. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hong Kong is known as the ultimate urban destination, but not far from the skyscrapers you’ll find a whole load of green great outdoors<\/a> waiting. Sai Kung is Hong Kong\u2019s best neighbourhood for locals looking for some of that great nature. Here, beyond the laidback Sai Kung Town with its seafood restaurants and cafes, are a whole wealth of outdoor things to do. There are golden beaches and swimmable bays, miles of walking trails across the Sai Kung Country Park, rolling green hills and traditional fishing villages and, excitingly, the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark, featuring spectacular geological rock formations. Spend an afternoon exploring before returning to the town for a fresh fish dinner and drinks overlooking the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
