Living in Sheung Wan
Sheung Wan is Central’s more creative next-door neighbour. Bordering Central Mid-Levels and down to the lowest slope of Victoria Peak, Sheung Wan is a vibrant blend of old and new, residential and commercial.
Things to do in Sheung Wan
With Hong Kong island district's most eclectic range of coffee shops, art galleries, antique shops, fitness centres, street art, attractions, and markets, it can be hard to decide what to do in Sheung Wan on most days!
Numerous hours can be spent wandering the bustling and vibrant streets of Sheung Wan's attractions, coming across Man Mo Temple, the infamous cat street, the fragrant dried seafood street, and shopping along Wing Lok Street to name just a few pit stops.
Dive into Asian antiques, trinkets, and Chinese antique furniture (possibly dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties) tucked along Upper Lascar Row and numerous side alleys filled with Hong Kong antique shops. One can even indulge in the creation of personalised creative and unique perfumes at DK Aromatherapy on New Market Street.
The red brick Edwardian-style Western Market building is home to a number of delicious Sheung Wan restaurants, whilst countless other fine dining options and casual eateries line the busy roads, offering something for everyone.
Cafes in Sheung Wan are also plentiful, including local favourites such as Halfway Coffee and Elephant Grounds. More cafes and art galleries can also be found in Tai Ping Shan, a quaint area above Sheung Wan's street level.
