Admiralty joins Central to Wan Chai: Pacific Place, with The Upper House, Island Shangri-La and the JW Marriott, sits above the MTR, with Hong Kong Park and Tamar Park on either side.
Pacific Place
Three hotels, a mall and Petrus, Summer Palace and Man Ho for dinner.
The parks
Hong Kong Park’s aviary and tea museum, and Tamar Park on the harbour.
The most convenient base on the island.
Our advice: take tea at LockCha in Flagstaff House.
