A Lesser-Known North Point One-Day Citywalk Guide for Eating, Playing, and Staying
North Point, located in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island, is a place I love to visit every time I come to Hong Kong. I adore the retro vibe of North Point and its lively atmosphere. For tourists, it's relatively off the beaten path. But when it comes to the Monster Building and the tram on Chun Yeung Street, you definitely know these classic check-in spots are all in North Point. 🇭🇰 Follow the Hong Kong dramas and explore North Point with a one-day citywalk, complete with a guide to food, fun, and accommodation!
🚶North Point Citywalk: King's Road - Chun Yeung Street - Oil Street Art Space - Monster Building
📍King's Road, Pedestrian Overpass
Old Hong Kong cityscape, densely packed buildings, a real-life concrete jungle, with an intense sense of oppression and awe. The street signs are very characteristic of Hong Kong. A casual snapshot is enough to capture the essence of Hong Kong style.
📍Chun Yeung Street
The tram terminus on Chun Yeung Street. You can take close-up photos and check in with the tram. This is also the filming location for the Hong Kong drama 'A House Is Not a Home,' which brings back memories of the show. There's also a local market full of life and local vibes.
📍Oil Street Art Space
A small art space with century-old red brick buildings and a green lawn. It's really comfortable and pleasant to rest here, and there are free exhibitions from time to time.
📍Monster Building
The filming location for 'Transformers: Age of Extinction,' an old-style Hong Kong residential building, with a shocking residential density.
🍽️North Point Food
· Sun Hing: A hidden gem noodle shop with great value! Recommended beef brisket and mixed offal noodles, a bowl for just over 30 HKD.
· Peninsula Café: A local diner where people queue up for tea meals, great value! The tomato macaroni is delicious, with a wide variety of dishes and cost-effective set meals.
· Chung Kee Congee: A small shop specializing in congee, cheap and tasty.
🏨North Point Accommodation
North Point is only a few stations away from Causeway Bay and Central, but the hotels here offer much better value for money. I stayed in North Point's The Stellar for several days. It's conveniently located, right below is the tram terminus on Chun Yeung Street, and just a few minutes' walk to the North Point/Fortress Hill MTR stations. 🌊 I stayed in a deluxe sea view room and really liked its decor and design, simple and tasteful. The room offers an unbeatable view, with floor-to-ceiling windows in both the living room and bedroom overlooking the sea. ✨ The room has a minibar, a fridge, and even a washer-dryer combo. The hotel has a gym and a shared kitchen. The Lounge on the second floor is a very comfortable public space where you can work, rest, or dine, with huge floor-to-ceiling windows that also allow you to watch the trams passing through the market. I highly recommend staying here when you come to Hong Kong, whether for a staycation or for short or long-term rentals.
