Causeway Bay borders the Eastern & Wan Chai districts and is a heavily built-up area of Hong Kong island, renowned as a shopping mecca with retail rents in the core being ranked as the highest in the world.
If retail runs through Hong Kong’s arteries, then Causeway Bay is the beating heart that keeps it going.

However, it’s much more than just a shopper’s paradise. Venture beyond the multitude of malls and discover an alluring enclave that’s brimming with character, Hong Kong Island’s largest public park and a rich history tied to its past as a former fishing village.
