A pocket of trendy restaurants and lifestyle stores, Starstreet Precinct is one of the city’s best hipster hangouts for a cool cultural experience. Located in Wan Chai adjacent to Pacific Place, the area encompasses a square grid of streets resting on a slope, buttressed by the eastern section of Queen’s Road. The main diagonals are Sun Street, Moon Street, and Star Street, named after one of the aphorisms in the classic Chinese text, The Three Character Classics, which stipulates that the Three Forces are Heaven, Earth, and Man, and the Three Luminaries are the sun, the moon, and the stars. Take full advantage of our neighbourhood guide to Starstreet Precinct and spend a whole day browsing the racks of independent labels, sipping finely brewed tea, and tucking into exquisite dishes hailing from the Middle East, Italy, Vietnam, and Japan.
