2 Best Sights in Hong Kong, China

Known for its chic neighborhood bars and urbane eateries, this roughly defined area on the western edge of Central gets its name from being south of Hollywood Road. The bars here are a chiller alternative to the rowdier drinking spots in Lan Kwai Fong, while the narrow lanes reveal hips cafés, eclectic restaurants, and independent boutiques. This hilly neighborhood is reached by the Central--Mid-Levels Escalator, also the very reason for the rise of SoHo as a drinking and dining destination.

Centered on Tai Ping Shan Street, the area known as Tai Ping Shan (the Chinese name for Victoria Peak, which towers above it) is one of the city's oldest residential districts. This gentrifying neighborhood retains a local feel, with arty shops, small temples, and cozy cafés to pitch up in.
