2 Central & Western District Promenade
Due to its proximity to the Shun Tak Ferry Terminal, the Central and Western District Promenade overlooks what is possibly Hong Kong’s busiest section of Victoria Harbour. There are always boats and vessels passing by, on their way to Macau or the various outlying islands in our territories.
Running the length of the waterfront all the way from Sheung Wan to the HKU and Shek Tong Tsui area, the promenade includes several sections that jut out from the boardwalk proper and extend out to sea, with play areas, grassy sections, work-out stations, and seating. These really do make for excellent spots to simply kick back and gaze out to sea. Of course, the promenade is also connected to the excellent Sun Yat-sen Memorial Park, with its well-appointed green spaces, sports centre, ball courts, and swimming pool.
How to get there: Exit A2 of Sai Ying Pun MTR station will bring you closest to the Sun Yat-sen Park, which marks the start of the Central and Western District Promenade, but it’s also super easy to get there from Exit D of Sheung Wan MTR station—Shun Tak Centre—as you’ll be on the right side of the highway flyover.
