Overview
West of Central, Sheung Wan keeps traditional dried seafood and medicine shops alongside design studios at PMQ and waterfront warehouses turned cafés. Ideal for a half-day wander.
Sheung Wan is Central's calmer western neighbour: dried seafood aromas on Des Voeux Road West, incense at Man Mo Temple, design shops at PMQ and murals on Tai Ping Shan Street. Ideal half-day wander ending in a café; easy walk from Central along Hollywood Road.
