Sheung Wan
Sheung Wan is a historic harbourside district on Hong Kong Island, famed for its dried seafood shops, traditional Chinese medicine stores, and antique dealers clustered around narrow, sloping streets. It sits just west of Central's glass towers, retaining an old-trade atmosphere alongside the colonial-era Western Market and its own Hong Kong–Macau ferry pier.
