What it's like

Causeway Bay is all about shopping and eating: Times Square, Hysan Place and Sogo, side streets of Japanese and Cantonese restaurants, and dessert shops open late. Victoria Park offers space to breathe, and the Noonday Gun and Tai Hang's small cafés are close by.

It's lively, central to the island and well priced, with the tram and MTR to Central in 15 minutes. The crowds are intense, especially at weekends, and the main streets never really sleep.

Best streets and sub-areas

  • Times Square & Russell Street

    The busiest shopping crossroads.

  • Tai Hang

    Quiet old village streets of cafés, next to Victoria Park.

  • Lee Garden

    Upmarket malls on the eastern side.
