Central Plaza
Can be seen from most of Wan Chai. Central Plaza was the tallest building in Asia from 1992 to 1996, and the tallest in Hong Kong until 2003. It is possible to tell the time by the changing lights on the top of this building. During business hours, you can take the lift from the ground floor to the sky lobby on the 46th floor to get a spectacular free view of the harbour and the island. Another option for a free is view is from the observation lift in the Hopewell Centre at 183 Queen's Road East. This is one of the very few round towers found in the city. This glass lift can be taken from the 17th floor and the amazing journey to the 62nd floor takes about 90 seconds. Once at the top you can eat at the revolving restaurant on top of the building, or head back down again.

Wan Chai Computer Centre
Although not the largest computer centre in Hong Kong, this one is above Wan Chai station with two floors of small shops selling computers, laptops, tablet, accessories, headphones, games, etc. It is also the easiest to get to on Hong Kong island. Some shops open from 10:30, although generally speaking it isn't worth to visit before midday.
