Causeway Bay

Causeway Bay offers a range of starting points for planning your trip: cultural heritage, events, a public park, and shopping and market options. If you’re looking for a hotel in Causeway Bay, first consider which of these themes you’d like to shape your stay.

Culture, History and Tradition

Tin Hau Temple in Causeway Bay is dedicated to Tin Hau and was declared a monument in 1982. Its dedication and monument status give the site a distinct cultural significance. For trip planning, this is a different focus from shopping or events: here, the main attraction is a temple dedicated to a deity that has held monument status since 1982.

Another distinctive tradition is the Noonday Gun. It has been fired in Causeway Bay every day at 12 noon since the 1860s. Each year, the Jardine Noonday Gun is also fired in the final minute of New Year’s Eve. These are two distinct occasions: a daily midday firing and an annual year-end tradition. If you’d like to plan your visit around one of the firings, check the latest visitor information before your trip.

Museum, Park and Events

The Po Leung Kuk Museum focuses on collecting, compiling, preserving and conserving the cultural heritage of Po Leung Kuk. Exhibitions and guided tours introduce the organisation’s history and development since its founding in 1878. The museum therefore offers a historical perspective that looks beyond a single date to trace the institution’s development.

Victoria Park is a public park in Causeway Bay. Numerous events are held there throughout the year. If events are a factor in planning your trip, this offers a different kind of starting point from a museum or a single annual tradition. The park combines its role as a public space with a year-round programme of events.

Shopping and Market Life

Times Square is a shopping destination in Causeway Bay with shops, restaurants and direct MTR access. It features 230 shops, a multi-screen cinema and more than 20 restaurants. Cultural, artistic and pop-up events are also held there. Shopping, dining, cinema and changing events are all on offer. Individual shops and offerings may change.

Jardine’s Crescent offers a different experience: this street market specialises in clothing and accessories at affordable prices and is easily reached from Causeway Bay MTR station. At the end of the street, some stalls may also offer fresh flowers and vegetables. Unlike Times Square, the defining feature here is the market itself, with its focus on clothing and accessories; the additional offerings at individual stalls are a possibility, not a guarantee.

For architecture enthusiasts, Hong Kong as a whole offers a broader context: Haw Par Mansion is one of the few surviving examples of Chinese Renaissance architecture in Hong Kong.
