As Causeway Bay becomes the latest location seeing a rise in business centre openings, office workers new to the area will find there's more to the district than bustling retail outlets and crowded streets.
Given the area's numerous facilities, it's no surprise that as more serviced offices vie for business there, it's also becoming a popular place to live.
Part of the attraction of Causeway Bay is its accessibility; both the Mass Transit Railway and the tram lines run through the district, while the Cross-Harbour Tunnel leads directly to Kowloon.
One of Causeway Bay's claims to fame is Queen's College, which was founded in 1862 and whose old boys include Sun Yat-sen.
Perhaps Causeway Bay's greatest sporting asset is the 40,000-seat Hong Kong Stadium, in So Kon Po. The stadium is in use throughout the year, but it gets its 15 minutes of fame on the last weekend of every March, when it hosts the three-day sporting carnival that is the rugby Sevens, attended by elaborately costumed fans from all over the world.
Victoria Park draws many locals. Tai chi aficionados and joggers arrive early in the morning; a public swimming pool is packed in the summer months; model powerboat enthusiasts and football, basketball and bowls players are also catered for, and some of the biggest names in international tennis have competed at the park's central court.
