I go to Wanchai very often for restaurants, food, supermarket and most of the things you could think of. It is an old district but having lots of new buildings. It's metro, bus, tram, taxi accessible, of course you can drive if you get a car, there are a number of public carparks in the area, and two of them... More

Google the following three words: Wan Chai seedy. You'll get 117,000 hits. But then again, Melbourne and Sydney and San Francisco have their fair share of seedy areas. I would say that some parts are seedy along Lockhart Road, as expatriates (no I'll call them foreigners because really expatriates are foreigners after all) make a valiant effort to make Wan... More

This is one of the three main areas in Hong Kong to go for the nightlife. There are restaurants, "legitimate" clubs, and topless/working girl clubs. If you are easily offended, don't come here at night....coming in the day to eat or shop will be fun....but it will be too scary/shocking at night. If you want to party at night, it... More

First visit after a strong recommendation from a friend. It's a must visit place when she is in HK. 100% true. Enjoyed the local market which has Thai grocery shop. Fish were jumping about in container. The meat stall was full of local and Filipinas speaking fluent Cantonese. THERE IS a shop that sells just noodles, spring roll skins and... More

There is a large outdoor food market located in Wan Chai that sells everything from fresh chicken, fish, vegetables, meat, baked goods etc. It's quite busy and "dirty" if you're not used to that type of environment. Wan Chai also has an abundant amount of small stores that sell cheap every day items or export/outlet clothing. The bars in Wan... More

I don't personally like Wanchai that much, although you can find some good deals, but everything is so expensive there (a part of vegetables in the market). At night many expats would say it's a good place to have drinks, but I'd rather say it's a place where you get what you go for...

Just like the title says in this area of Hong Hong. Lots of good restaurants and modern bars/pubs. One of the safest places in the world. Looks very chaotic, but everything went smoothly. Nice place to visit again

Went with a friend to the computer market. They have everything. Felt like a kid in a candy store. Best to know what you want before you go and what a good price is (Look at cnet at take the lowest advertised price). They will typically start 30 to 50% higher. Left and wandered through the local market. Fun to... More

Still with many old places and eateries and shops and street stalls, Wanchai is really interesting if you wish to see old n new HK. A good day or night out and it is just great to see many things there.
