Central & SoHo
Hong Kong's creative neighbourhood — galleries, boutiques, and the city's best independent dining
Overview
Central and SoHo represent Hong Kong's most cosmopolitan neighbourhood — a hillside district of colonial buildings, steep streets, and mid-levels escalators connecting a dense concentration of galleries, independent restaurants, cocktail bars, and boutiques. The Central-Mid-Levels Escalator — the world's longest outdoor covered escalator system at 800 metres — runs from Central up through SoHo to the residential mid-levels. Along the way, Staunton Street, Elgin Street, and Aberdeen Street form Hong Kong's most interesting dining and bar corridor.
