Hong Kong's Western District
Western District
The perfect complement to the modern buzz of the Central District is found in the timeless Chinese traditions of Hong Kong’s charming Western District. Upon the narrow streets of this captivating neighborhood lies some of Hong Kong’s oldest and most colorful establishments. With vendors pawning every variety from ginseng to dried fish, medicine to antiques, and a curio of quaint shops lining the street, the Western District displays Hong Kong in the golden light of its ancestry.
Browse Hollywood Road for an endless collection of rare antiques, or venture to Man Mo Temple, Hong Kong’s oldest and most notorious temple dating to 1840; either way, you are likely to find the many gems of the Western District a refreshing retreat from the hum of the Central District.
