North Point, a lively waterfront district on Hong Kong Island’s eastern edge and fully walkable, seamlessly blends immigrant-rooted traditions with contemporary urban energy. Its bustling streets feature wet markets and dai pai dongs alongside sleek cafés and high-rises, reflecting a neighbourhood of multicultural charm. North Point appeals to young professionals, families, and culture seekers who value authentic Hong Kong life with easy access to the city’s core.

North Point MTR Station (Island Line) serves as the primary hub—Exit A leads to King’s Road’s commercial buzz, while Exit C connects to the ferry pier and waterfront. The iconic trams (“ding dings”) run along King’s Road. Ferries from North Point Pier offer quick trips to Kowloon. Taxis are readily available, and walking or cycling remains the best way to explore the flat, compact area.

North Point embodies Hong Kong’s immigrant mosaic. Once a quiet coastal area, it boomed in the 1950s as “Little Shanghai” with an influx of Shanghainese refugees, followed by Fujianese communities, bringing theatres, factories, and vibrant markets. It pioneered public housing estates like Model Housing Estate.
