Western
Western has been called Hong Kong Island's Chinatown, and though it's a strange-sounding epithet, there's a point to it. The area is light years from the dazzle and bustle of Central, despite being just down the road. And although developers are making short work of the traditional architecture, Western's colonial buildings, rattling trams, old-world medicine shops, and lively markets still recall bygone times.
