Detailed itinerary

To catch a glimpse of old Hong Kong, wander down the historic Pottinger Street that stretches to Hollywood Road. This picturesque spot features cobbled stone steps that descend steeply to Queen’s Road Central, the former waterfront area. Dating from the 1850s, this is one of the district’s oldest streets named after Hong Kong’s first governor, Sir Henry Eldred Curwen Pottinger.

Formerly one of Hong Kong’s first wet markets, Central Market is a Grade III historic building that has been revitalised into a ‘Playground for All’ by offering dining outlets, retail stores and cultural experiences that connect visitors to the neighbourhood’s history, tradition and contemporary culture.
