Causeway Bay (some people in Hong Kong pronounce Causeway Bay as "Gong Zhi Wan" because of its fluent Cantonese pronunciation, with all three words sounding like ascending tones) is located on the west side of Hong Kong Island's central and north shores, and is the city's main commercial and entertainment center.
Introduction to Causeway Bay
Causeway Bay is Hong Kong's main commercial and entertainment center and a busy shopping and dining district. It is the second most expensive location in the world, after Fifth Avenue in New York, USA. It refers to the bay of Victoria Park in Causeway Bay and its east coast, so named because its coastline resembles a gong.
Shopping in Causeway Bay must be energetic. The stores and department stores here are all five-step stores and 10-step stores, and you can walk through more than 10 shopping malls of various sizes in just 15 minutes. Large department stores and boutiques to vendors selling bargains with items ranging from a few dozen Hong Kong dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. Those who like international brands can check out Pearland and Boutique Plaza. Looking for mid-range and high-end goods, you can go to Times Square, Soho and WTCMore World Trade Center; if you don't like large malls and want to find young and fashionable clothes, then go to Kimberly-Clark shopping mall; the hotspot for selling cheap clothes and groceries is Zha Dian Plaza.
Walking around Causeway Bay, make sure you take a ding ding bus. The ting ting buses drive slowly, and the sound of the axle rubbing against the track can be heard as a "clanking" sound. Every time it stops, a "ding ding" sound is emitted. With the development of society, this kind of tram has almost been buried in the historical memory of the city. However, Hong Kong, a city that has always danced to the sound of fast-paced music, has preserved this ancient style in a nostalgic way.
