North Point
North Point, Hong Kong, Hong Kong
Located at the northernmost part of Hong Kong Island, and east of Causeway Bay, is the North Point District. Formerly an industrial area, North Point is primarily a residential neighborhood, but one that offers great dining options, bustling wet markets, historic landmarks, and other hidden gems off the beaten path.
The Basics
The best way to explore North Point is to take the tram from Causeway Bay and walk around the neighborhood. The tram will take you past the iconic Chun Yeung Wet Market, the local go-to for fresh food and produce. Shopping options range from small independent stores to name-brand outlets to shopping malls. Visitors also enjoy checking out up-and-coming artists at Oi! Street Art Space, or catching a Cantonese opera performance at the Sunbeam Theater.
Foodies delight in the number of dining options in the neighborhood, including several Michelin-starred restaurants. Explore North Point independently, or join a food tour to discover a range of local favorites. Combine a stop here with a hop-on hop-off bus tour, or a boat cruise along Victoria Harbor, to see some of the top attractions in Hong Kong.
Things to Know Before You Go
For the best views, get a seat at the front of the upper deck of the tram.
Wear comfortable shoes, and be prepared to do a lot of walking.
Carry an umbrella, as the weather can be unpredictable in Hong Kong.

When to Get There
