Neighbourhood Features
Chai Wan, located in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island, is surrounded by three mountains, namely Mount Parker, Mount Collinson, and Pottinger Peak, forming a valley. To the northeast lies the Lei Yue Mun Strait, facing the eastern shores of Kowloon. Since the 1980s, with the completion of the Chai Wan Station on the Island Line, the government and property developers have actively promoted residential and infrastructure development in the area, encompassing both public housing and private residential estates. Serving as the terminal station of the Island Line, Chai Wan has comprehensive transportation links, connecting to various commercial centers on Hong Kong Island, and also houses industrial zones within the district.
Embraced by lush green mountains, Chai Wan boasts abundant green spaces, including Chai Wan Park and Wan Tsui Estate Park. Situated close to the seaside, the area enjoys a tranquil environment, away from the hustle and bustle. Additionally, Chai Wan has preserved some of the last remaining Hakka village houses, such as the Law Uk Folk Museum, which has been designated as a historical monument, preserving the heritage of the Hakka culture from the past.
