Causeway Bay: Hong Kong

Try to discover yourself in awe standing outside the Causeway Bay SOGO department store, facing the busiest pedestrian intersection in Hong Kong Island. Jardine's Bazaar and Jardines' Crescent are crowded stalls selling fashion clothing. Yee Wo Street is even closed from street traffic on weekends. From here you can backtrack to Victoria Park and get away from the most concentrated areas of consumerism on the island, as well as the crowd. Escape the oppressive heat on summer night by lying in the park's grassy fields. Causeway Bay and especially Island Beverly Mall is on par with Mong Kok in terms of shopping and a young chic crowd. People watching around the new and noteworthy 33 Hysan Avenue is a great way to get a feel of Hong Kong culture, fashion fads and traditions.

A handful of these Causeway Bay hotels are outstanding in their own leagues, offering excellent not to be missed Sunday buffet:

• Metropark Hotel Causeway Bay
• Excelsior Hotel Causeway Bay
• Park Lane Hotel Causeway Bay

New Year's countdown at Times Square is the most conspicuous icon of Hong Kong's own countdown event. Avoid the road so take the MTR whenever you are trying to get to Causeway bay.
