Wan Chai / Admiralty In many people's minds, Wanchai may conjure up images of sleazy topless bars and drunken soldiers, but long gone are the days of Suzie Wong. Although this area of bars and strip joints is still popular with visiting sailors, there are plenty of things to do and see if you have something else in mind. Johnston Road and Queen's Road East are the two major streets in the area, but the streets and little alleys in between are by far the most intriguing. Export clothing shops line the streets of Johnston Road and Luard Road and are by far, some of the best values in Hong Kong. Be prepared to dig your way through piles of pants, shirts, skirts, dresses and baby clothes. Spring Garden Lane and Wanchai Road also are must sees in the area and will give you the chance to see where many of the locals shop for vegetables, fruit and household items.

After a big day out, Delaney's, Joe Banana's and Carnegie's are just a few of the popular spots in Wanchai to grab a drink or dance the night away. Wanchai North, which lies on the other side of Gloucester Road, is a cluster of high rise office towers and hotels.

Facing the harbour in Wanchai is the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, a building boasting the world's largest "glass curtain", a window seven stories high. Just west of Wanchai is the area known as Admiralty, a cluster of office towers, hotels and shopping centres. There isn't a lot to see here, but Pacific Place is one of the nicest shopping centres in Hong Kong with mostly middle and high-end stores like Marks and Spencer, Seibu, Armani and Chanel, as well as a variety of restaurants and a movie theater.
