Central is Hong Kong’s frenetic business and retail heart, crammed with skyscrapers, swanky malls and luxury hotels set within a historic district. The rich cultural heritage in Central sets the stage for the Smart Cultural Precinct (SCP), ISU’s local initiative that highlights the area within and surrounding the Cultural Triangle, formed by the three key adaptive re-use buildings of PMQ, Central Market, and Tai Kwun. 

Join us in an immersive experience of Central Market and Tai Kwun, two of the key historic developments of the Cultural Precinct, that have been beautifully restored and revitalized for a new generation of visitors. 

1. Central Market: 

Formerly one of Hong Kong’s first wet markets, Central Market is a Grade III historic building that has been revitalised into a ‘Playground for All’ by offering dining outlets, retail stores and cultural experiences that connect visitors to the neighbourhood’s history, tradition and contemporary culture. 

2. Central-Mid-Levels Escalators: 

The Central–Mid-Levels escalator and walkway system in Hong Kong is the longest outdoor covered escalator system in the world. It is a unique pedestrian link, that provides a great view of the bustling city and also was instrumental in the organic regeneration of the core of Central. 

3. Tai Kwun: 

Tai Kwun is Hong Kong’s beating cultural heart, enabled by The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) in partnership with the Hong Kong Government. A vibrant and welcoming space that brings people together, Tai Kwun is committed to inspiring and enriching the community through arts, culture and heritage. 

End the tour in style with a visit to The Magistracy at Tai Kwun: Once known as Hong Kong’s Supreme Court, The Central Magistracy was decommissioned and ceased its judiciary functions in 1984. After being dormant for 40+ years, Black Sheep Restaurants have restored it into a vibrant destination for warm hospitality and thoughtful storytelling. The Black Sheep team will share their insights into the achievements and challenges of this restoration process.

Join us for a ULI-curated tour of Hong Kong's East Coast Boardwalk, a stunning new landmark that opened in January 2025. This vibrant "Harbourfront Shared Space" features paths for walking, jogging, and cycling, alongside an exclusive pedestrian walkway. Its innovative design makes use of the area beneath the Island Eastern Corridor, enhancing the shoreline of Hong Kong Island. 

Key highlights include the first movable bascule and swing bridges in Victoria Harbour, which allow vessel access while ensuring smooth pedestrian flow. The Boardwalk boasts eight themed areas, including four in the western section: Sun Wave, Play Wave, Fish Wave, and Gather Wave. Additional amenities feature seating for sunset views, a play area, fitness equipment, and a fishing platform. Nearby, the revitalized Tong Shui Road Public Pier and the enhanced North Point Promenade offer even more open spaces for leisure. 

To round off our tour, we’ll take a short stroll to Chun Yeung Street Wet Market, a bustling narrow street filled with stalls offering fresh fruits, vegetables, meat, and seafood. The lively atmosphere is such that the tram weaves between traders and carts. Many shops here feature unique Fujian foods that are hard to find elsewhere in Hong Kong, and you’ll hear the Fujianese dialect spoken throughout North Point. Finally, we’ll enjoy a leisurely tram ride back to Central, taking in the sights of other vibrant neighborhoods along the way.
