The Wharney Guang Dong Hotel

The Wan Chai district, or simply Wan Chai or Wanchai, is one of the 18 districts of Hong Kong, located in the north of Hong Kong island.

The Wanchai district is located between the popular business and shopping districts of Admiralty on the west and Causeway Bay on the east.

It could be described as one of the more vibrant parts of Hong Kong Island with nightclubs, discotheques, restaurants, hotels, shops and more.

There are plenty of things to do and see. Johnston Road and Queen's Road East are the two major streets in the area, but the streets and little alleys in between are much more intriguing. Export clothing shops line the streets of Johnston Road and Luard Road and offer by far some of the best value in Hong Kong. Be prepared to dig your way through piles of pants, shirts, skirts, dresses and baby clothes. Spring Garden Lane and Wanchai Road also are must-sees in the area and will give you the chance to see where many of the locals shop for vegetables, fruit and household items. Take a short metro ride (approx. 10 minutes) to go the the famous Temple and Ladies Street Markets in Kowloon.

After a big day out, the Canny Man bar, Delaney's, Joe Banana's and Carnegie's are just a few of the popular spots in Wanchai to grab a drink or dance the night away. Wanchai North, which lies on the other side of Gloucester Road, is a cluster of high rise office towers and hotels.

Facing the harbour in Wanchai is the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, a building boasting the world's largest "glass curtain" (built 1994-1997), a window seven stories high. Just west of Wanchai is the area known as Admiralty, a cluster of office towers, hotels and shopping centres. In Admiralty you will find 'Pacific Place' which is one of the nicest shopping centres in Hong Kong with mostly middle and high-end stores like Seibu, Armani and Chanel, as well as a variety of restaurants and a movie theater.

Located near the hotel you will find the famous Star Ferry services, trams and MTR (underground).
