Wan Chai, Commercial neighborhood in Hong Kong Island, China.
The district stretches along Victoria Harbour with Canal Road to the east, Arsenal Street to the west, and Bowen Road to the south.
Originally established by Chinese fishermen near Hung Shing Temple, Wan Chai expanded following British colonization in 1842 with settlements along Queen's Road East.
The Hong Kong Arts Centre presents exhibitions while the Academy for Performing Arts maintains programs in dance, music, theater, and traditional Chinese performances.
The MTR station and tram lines connect Wan Chai to other parts of Hong Kong, with the area between Convention Centre and Southorn Playground containing numerous restaurants.
Spring Garden Lane maintains traditional market stalls while Tai Yuen Street specializes in toys, creating a contrast between old commerce and modern retail.
