About the District
Sheung Wan, a fully walkable enclave adjacent to Central, masterfully intertwines colonial heritage, authentic Cantonese traditions, and modern urban vitality, with narrow lanes of dried seafood stalls giving way to vibrant street art, contemporary galleries, and Michelin-starred eateries that attract professionals, families, and culture seekers alike. Easily accessed via Sheung Wan MTR, ding-ding trams along Des Voeux Road, or on foot, the district pulses with historic charm—from Possession Street’s 1841 British landing site and the reimagined cafés of Tai Ping Shan to iconic landmarks like the serene Man Mo Temple, Edwardian Western Market, Antique Street galleries on Hollywood Road, and Poho’s murals—while offering leisure at the Central-Western Promenade’s harbour vistas, PMQ’s creative hub, heritage trails, Tai Ping Shan brunches, and the tranquil Hollywood Road Park with its koi pond and playgrounds. In essence, Sheung Wan distills Hong Kong’s soul—heritage, creativity, and seamless connectivity—delivering characterful flats, executive residences, or cultural havens.
