Discover Causeway Bay

Causeway Bay reveals different sides of urban Hong Kong: a public park, a temple, a museum about the history of Po Leung Kuk, a major shopping destination and a street market. When planning your trip, you can consider whether culture, events, shopping or markets should shape your choice of neighbourhood.

Culture and special occasions

Tin Hau Temple in Causeway Bay is dedicated to Tin Hau and was declared a monument in 1982. It brings a religious and historical dimension to exploring the area. Those interested in culture and religious traditions will find a specific place to visit here.

The Po Leung Kuk Museum focuses on the cultural heritage of Po Leung Kuk. The museum is dedicated to its collection, compilation, preservation and conservation. Exhibitions and guided tours present the organisation’s history and development since its founding in 1878. This focus on an organisation and its history differs from the religious significance of Tin Hau Temple.

The Jardine Noonday Gun also links Causeway Bay with notable moments in time: it is fired every year in the last minute of New Year’s Eve. The Noonday Gun has been fired daily at 12 noon since the 1860s. The annual New Year’s Eve firing and the daily midday firing are separate occasions that may be of interest when exploring the area’s history and traditions.

Haw Par Mansion is also located in the wider area around Causeway Bay. It is one of the few surviving examples of Chinese Renaissance architecture in Hong Kong and adds an architectural perspective to the cultural themes.

City life, park and market

Victoria Park is a public park in Causeway Bay that hosts numerous events throughout the year. If you want to include both urban culture and a park in your trip plans, its programme of events offers a distinct aspect of your stay. Which events you choose to include can help shape the focus of your visit.

Times Square is a shopping destination with shops, restaurants and direct MTR access. It has 230 shops, a multi-screen cinema and more than 20 restaurants. Times Square is also a major venue for cultural, artistic and pop-up events. Shopping, dining and events are separate reasons to include this urban spot among your travel interests.

Jardine’s Crescent has a different character: the street market specialises in clothing and accessories at low prices. It is easy to reach from Causeway Bay MTR station. At the end of the market, some stalls may offer fresh flowers and vegetables. The street market’s specialist goods therefore contrast with a shopping destination featuring shops, a cinema and restaurants.

If you are travelling with family, you can tailor your plans to your fellow travellers’ interests without trying to fit every theme into a single outing. When looking for a holiday rental in Causeway Bay, the main consideration is what kind of city experience you want from your stay.
