Wan Chai District, Administrative district in northern Hong Kong Island, China

Wan Chai District spans over 1,000 hectares, featuring modern office towers, residential zones, parks, and the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The district evolved from a fishing village with the Hung Shing Temple into a British administration center after 1842, transforming through multiple land reclamation projects.

The district maintains a mix of religions with Buddhist temples, Christian churches, and the Wan Chai Khalsa Diwan Sikh Temple serving different communities.

The transportation network includes Mass Transit Railway stations, bus terminals, tram lines, and ferry services at Wan Chai Pier crossing Victoria Harbour.

Golden Bauhinia Square hosts daily flag-raising ceremonies next to the Convention Centre, where the 1997 Hong Kong handover ceremony took place.
