2026 Central Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in February)

If you've come to Hong Kong and haven't ridden the **"Ding Ding Tram"**, you can't say you've truly been to Hong Kong! ✋ It's more than just transportation; it's the only fleet of trams in the world that operates entirely on double-deckers, and it's the most romantic moving scenery on Hong Kong Island. This time, I hopped on one of these slender double-decker trams in Central, listening to its soothing "ding ding" sound, as if time had slowed down. In this city with the world's fastest pace, experiencing the scenery at its slowest is a luxurious treat. 🌆 📜 Background Story: A 120-Year-Old Moving Heritage Before we begin our journey, let's do a little background! The Ding Ding Tram originated in 1904, meaning it has been running on the north coast of Hong Kong Island for over 120 years! 👴 Why is it called a "Ding Ding Tram"? Because of the crisp, nostalgic "ding-ding" sound the driver makes when stepping on the foot pedal, Hong Kong locals affectionately call it that. It has witnessed Hong Kong's transformation from a small fishing village into an international financial center, and continues to shuttle through the city's busiest streets daily, truly a "living monument." 🚋 Ride Perspective: A Visual Feast of Old and New Take a look at these photos; this is the most captivating perspective of the tram! I highly recommend rushing to the "upper deck front row" seats as soon as you board (although they're hard to get, it's worth a try). • Urban Canyon (Photos 3 & 4): Sitting on the upper deck, you'll find yourself surrounded by skyscrapers on both sides. The glass curtain wall buildings in Photo 4 (like the HSBC headquarters and the Bank of China Tower) soar into the clouds, while you're slowly moving forward in a century-old tram. This stark contrast—"a modern financial empire above, a century-old railway below"—can only be truly felt on Des Voeux Road Central in Central. • Busy Street (Photo 3): Watching the throngs of commuters below, red taxis whizzing past beside the tracks, while remaining detached, gives you a sense of superiority, a feeling of "everyone's fast, but I'm slow." 😂 🏛️ Must-See Landmark: The Classical Beauty of the Court of Final Appeal (Photo 2) The highlight of this trip is the building in Photo 2, a building as beautiful as a European palace—the Court of Final Appeal. You absolutely can't miss it when the tram slowly passes near Statue Square. • Architectural Highlights: Built in 1912, this building is in the Neoclassical style. Look at the domes, the Greek-style frieze, and the Ionic columns—it's truly elegant. • Fun Fact: This used to be the Supreme Court, then the Legislative Council Building, and now it's back to the Court of Final Appeal. A blindfolded statue of Themis stands on the roof, symbolizing equality before the law. Against the backdrop of modern skyscrapers, this granite building appears particularly solemn and dignified, a beautiful historical landmark in Central. 🥘 Food Recommendation: Lan Fong Yuen – The Originator of Hong Kong-Style Milk Tea After riding the tram in Central, you're probably hungry, right? Since you've experienced the nostalgic tram, your food should also follow a nostalgic route! I recommend the nearby **Lan Fong Yuen**, about a 5-8 minute walk away. This dai pai dong (open-air food stall) that started as a tin-roofed building is the birthplace of Hong Kong-style milk tea! Coming here without trying a cup of iced milk tea will make you a laughingstock. • Recommended Dishes: • Hong Kong Style Milk Tea: Rich tea flavor, incredibly smooth texture, a unique blend of astringency and smoothness you won't find anywhere else. • Signature Pork Chop Bun: Crispy bread, perfectly marinated pork chop, bursting with juicy goodness with every bite, a perfect complement to the milk tea! • Scallion Oil Chicken Chop with Noodles: A must-order! The instant noodles (Demae Ramen) are perfectly cooked, springy and chewy, topped with fragrant scallion oil – a perfect match! 📍 Restaurant Information • Name: Lan Fong Yuen (Central Main Branch) • Address: 2 Gage Street, Central, Hong Kong • Opening Hours: 07:30 – 18:00 (Closed on Sundays) 📝 Why Recommend This Experience? 1. Incredible Value: The fare is only HK$3.3 (approximately NT$13)! This is the cheapest sightseeing tour in Hong Kong, bar none. 2. Unique Photography Angles: The upper deck of the tram offers excellent views, making it easy to capture layered Hong Kong street scenes (as shown in photo 3). 3. Feel the Pulse of the City: Unlike the dark underground subway or the fast-moving buses, the tram allows you to truly "pass by" and experience every inch of Hong Kong's fabric. 4. Freedom to Hop and Disembark: This section of Central is a prime area with numerous attractions, making it convenient to hop off anytime to shop or eat. 🧳 Practical Travel Information • 📍 Location: Hong Kong Tramway (Central Section) - Recommended boarding point: "Pedder Street" or "Bank Street". • 💰 Price: Adults HKD 3.3 / Children HKD 1.6 / Seniors HKD 1.5. • 💳 Payment Method: Pay upon disembarkation! Accepted payments include Octopus card, cash (no change given), credit card, or Alipay/WeChat Pay. • 💡 Tips: • Board from the back and exit from the front: Remember to board from the back door and exit and pay at the front! • Avoid peak hours: Crowds are incredibly high during rush hour (8-9am, 6-7pm). It's recommended to avoid these times to secure a good seat on the upper deck. 📍 Must-visit location: Central Tramway Terminus / Court of Final Appeal Building #HongKongTourism #DingDingTram #CentralAttractions #HongKongTram #CourtofFinalAppealBuilding #NostalgicHongKong #LanFongYuen #MilkTea #HongKongPhotography #TravelGuide #CentralFood #HongKongTram #CentralHK #TravelHK #JanuaryDestinations2026

The slightly spicy fresh tomato sauce is refreshing, and the crab meat is plentiful, fresh, and sweet without any fishy taste. 🎃 Maple Roasted Pumpkin Salad The pumpkin is roasted to a slightly charred edge, offering a sweet and soft texture. A thin layer of maple syrup adds a touch of sweetness. The fresh and crisp salad greens provide a variety of textures, making it both refreshing and appetizing. 🥞 Caramel Ruby Cinnamon Soufflé The moment it’s served, the aroma of cinnamon and caramel fills the air. The soufflé is light and melts in your mouth. The caramel sauce pairs perfectly with the apple, and the ruby dried fruits on top add a sweet and tangy flavor—absolutely delicious. ❤️ Santa’s Chocolate Bubble 💚 Matcha Christmas Ring Both drinks are perfect for Instagram! The chocolate bubble is rich and creamy, with an authentic chocolate flavor, while the matcha is fragrant with a pleasant aftertaste. Utterly satisfying!

Hong Kong essentials in one day? Absolutely – from the buzzy streets of Mongkok to sea-view Kennedy Town, here’s how to pack the best into a short visit 👟🍲 Must-See Places: 1. Mongkok: Step into this shopping paradise for quirky boutiques, tech, and some of the best street eats. Start early for local breakfast dim sum. 2. Yau Ma Tei: Dive into authentic markets – don’t miss the famed jade market and fruit stalls. 3. Tsim Sha Tsui: This harbor-side district is a stunner. Take in skyline views at the promenade and hit up museums and designer shops. Address: Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong (Open all day). 4. Central & Sheung Wan: Explore high-rise culture and heritage corners. Try iconic egg tarts at bakeries and snap pics at Graham Street murals. 5. Kennedy Town: Wrap up your day in this chill waterfront area. Cafés and sunset views make it Insta-perfect. Address: Kennedy Town, Hong Kong (Open all day). Getting There: Coming from Shenzhen? Skip the expensive options – hop on the cross-border bus! It’s fast, way cheaper than trains, and drops you in the heart of Hong Kong, super close to MTR connections. Seriously, you can transit between districts with ease. Food Spots: Grab street food in Mongkok (egg waffles!), a quick cha chaan teng lunch in Central, and bubble tea in Tsim Sha Tsui. End the day with nice Polo Bun and Tart! Quick Tips: - Hong Kong has unpredictable weather: bring a compact umbrella. - No visa hassles for many nationalities – check before you go! - Octopus card saves you cash and time on transit. -Credit card also can use easily throughout the Mrt. #HongKongDay #ShenzhenToHK #HKStreetEats #TravelHacks #Tripcom

1. Rent a rental Octopus card at any MTR station in the city (HKD 50 deposit + HKD 150 stored value). It's convenient as it can be used on all public transport and at many shops. You can also top up your Octopus card at MTR stations and 7-Elevens. 2. You can buy single-journey tickets for 2/3/4 people at the Airport Express counters, which are cheaper than round-trip tickets. 3. The Peak Tram is less crowded on weekday mornings, so there's less queuing. You can decide on-site whether to buy tickets, buy online, or just use your Octopus card to enter. If the weather is bad or foggy, it's not recommended to buy a viewing platform ticket, as you won't be able to see anything from the top. 4. The Star Ferry has upper and lower levels with different entrances. If you go to the wrong level, you'll have to waste your ticket money and enter from the upper entrance again. 5. The Citybus H2k route has long queues at Central Terminus for sunset viewing. You can buy a Night Walker package on the official website, which allows you to board earlier at Central Terminus. If you don't need to rush to catch the sunset and want to save money, you can take the train from Tsim Sha Tsui Station back to Central, where the queues are shorter. 6. Public Transportation: Bus: Board from the front and pay (Octopus card/cash/credit card), exit from the back. Press the button before reaching the next stop. MTR: Swipe your Octopus card/credit card/ticket to enter and exit the platform. Ding Ding Tram: Board from the back and exit from the front and pay (Octopus card/cash/credit card). Stops at every station. Finally, I personally recommend trying Hong Kong's dessert shops. I tried C Dessert in Wan Chai; their Dragon and Phoenix Ice Cream is absolutely delicious! #HongKong #HongKongGuide

#AugustDestinations2025 #HongKong #2025Summer #VictoriaHarbour #HongKongIsland #Central #HotAirBalloon The Hong Kong Hot Air Balloon Festival took place at the Central Harbourfront Event Space from September 4th to 7th. As reported in the newspapers, the event was quite disappointing. Firstly, the admission was very expensive, and the hot air balloons rarely took flight. Often, they were simply deflated and left on the ground, making it difficult to see the full view of the balloons. Furthermore, the manned launch was not possible due to photography issues, which was a major letdown. So, if you want to see hot air balloons, it's more practical to go to the annual Taitung Hot Air Balloon Festival.

The Central Ferry is more than just a journey; it's a slice of time, juxtaposing the hustle and bustle of the city with the slowness of the sea. On the ferry's deck, the wind carries the salty scent of diesel fuel, mingled with the crisp air of distant mountains. As the ferry slices through the surface of Victoria Harbor, the rhythmic crash of waves against its belly seems to slow the heartbeat of the entire city. It's less a means of transportation than a breath of fresh air. The rush of office workers, the lightness of travelers, and the wonder of children all converge on this ship, each in a strange harmony. From the deck, glass-walled skyscrapers reflected on the sea shimmer like an unfinished dream, while Kowloon, on the other side, gazes back in a different, quiet way. The charm of the Central Ferry lies not in arrival, but in the moments of sailing. It reminds us that between the hustle and bustle, there's still time for a brief moment of transition, allowing the soul to follow the ripples of the harbor, finding a moment of freedom unburdened by the clock.

Gifting a friend, eating a bit better. Tried Citrino, which participated in Hong Kong Restaurant Week. That night, I walked into a quiet side street in busy Central during after-work hours, at 18 Allen Street. Citrino is not large, elegantly decorated with modern artworks, maintaining a stylish atmosphere. Dinner was six courses. Starters included whelk with watermelon and tomato with buffalo mozzarella, marinated octopus with autumn vegetables, 24-hour minestrone vegetable soup, sakura shrimp handmade pasta, a friend tried sea urchin and caviar handmade pasta, main course was Iberian pork loin, and dessert was caramel cake. All dishes combined Italian cuisine with Japanese elements. Unforgettable, a feast beyond words. Didn’t try the signature dish Bagna Cáuda, only took photos, somewhat regretted it. This dish is the chef’s clever fusion of dozens of seasonal Japanese and local vegetables prepared in different ways. Wishing my friend a smooth journey! 📍Address: 2/F, 18 Allen Street, Central

Today, I visited a fantastic cafe at Exchange Square in Central 🐧. The interior design is simple, bright, warm, and cozy ☀️. It's a great spot to enjoy a leisurely brunch 😋. I chose the all-day breakfast set 😍. The portion was generous and packed with ingredients 👍, including sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, cherry tomatoes, baked beans, and hash browns 😆. It was truly rich and delicious 😎. For dessert, I picked the ice cream crepe ❤️. The presentation was beautiful and thoughtfully done 🥰. The warm crepe paired perfectly with the cold ice cream 😍, offering a delightful and exciting texture 😘. Filled with slices of banana, it left a lasting impression 😚. Feeling indulgent, I also ordered a chocolate muffin 🥰. Heated up, it had an amazing chocolate aroma 😋. The exterior was crispy, while the inside was soft and moist 😚, with a rich and fragrant chocolate flavor 👍. Absolutely delightful ❤️. For drinks, I opted for a pot of fragrant jasmine tea ☺️. Served in its original pot, it was excellent 😆, allowing me to slowly savor the tea's rich aroma 🌟. Perfectly paired with the desserts ❤️. 🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥🐥 Restaurant Name: Rise by Classified (Hong Kong) Address: Shop 313, 3/F, Exchange Square, 8 Connaught Road Central, Hong Kong

This Chaoshan beef hot pot is $338 per person, with 2.5 hours of all-you-can-drink and eat. There are 5 types of Chaoshan beef, plus a self-service area with condiments and drinks, so you can really eat your fill. Starting with the beef, the neck tenderloin (marbled) has evenly distributed fat and melts in your mouth. The hanging tender (beef tenderloin) is fresh and tender, with a smooth texture and a slight chewiness, offering a sweet beef flavor. The pork belly tip has a unique texture, crispy and chewy, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of bite. The brisket (chest oil) looks fatty but becomes crisp after a few seconds of dipping. The spoon handle is divided into two parts: the spoon tenderloin and the spoon handle. The spoon tenderloin is tender and creamy; the spoon handle is chewier but not tough, providing a rich texture. The self-service area has a good variety of hot pot ingredients, including vegetables, meatballs, noodles, and more, satisfying different tastes. There are also plenty of drink options, including soda, juice, beer, and more. 📍Number 8 Hot Pot Shop M88, Wellington Plaza, 2-8 Wellington Street, Central Hot Pot Hot Pot

Address – G/F, 18 Gilman Street, Central Environment/Facilities – Two floors, quite distinctive Opening Hours – 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM Average Price – $60 Rating – 8/10 You can smell the aroma from afar; it’s the popular Italian hand-cut thin-crust pizza shop, Alice Pizza. They specialize in Rome’s traditional "Pizza al taglio," rectangular thin pizza slices. There are many customers lining up, and you can see the chefs making pizza fresh through the transparent window. The flavors are very rich, loaded with European-style toppings. We chose two popular flavors; the crust was baked very crispy, and the chocolate flavor was also delicious. The staff are super friendly, and the freshly baked pizzas smell amazing. There are many flavors with generous and rich ingredients. If you visit Central, you should definitely try it. #pizza #ItalianCuisine #PopularRestaurant
