Causeway Bay is one of the three downtown areas in Hong Kong. There are rows of skyscrapers here, all kinds of goods in shops are dazzling, and the wide streets are crowded with people.
The most suitable reference for Causeway Bay is sogou Store. The tramway in front of sogou Store is the main road, Hennessy Road is near Wan Chai, and Yihe Street is near North Point. Taking this road as the boundary, the new street and the old street form a sharp contrast.
On the seaside side of the main road is New Causeway Bay, which is a dense area of department stores and cinemas. Especially from the streets in the center of sogou to Great George Street, there are department stores everywhere. From sogou across Great George Street, from the initial intersection (the intersection of Otaru, Matsuzaka House and Emerald Cinema) to Paterson Street on the coast, this street is quite crowded on weekends. From Paterson Street to Gloucester Road, the Yidong Hotel is on the left, next to the World Trade Center. The 42-storey office building 1996 has completed the renovation project, and the G/F-4 floor is a shopping center, which has been opened.
The streets in Wan Chai are also expanding. Lockhart Road and Jaffe Road parallel to Hennessy Road to Canal Road East west of Causeway Bay are recognized as areas where good restaurants are concentrated. On the east side of Yunhe Road, there is a huge shopping center "Times Square" between Bofu Street and Lee's Stage Square, which opened in 1995, forming a new flow of people. There are more and more beautiful restaurants and shops, which makes this area full of vitality.
