Harbour City
|
|
A large, air-conditioned shopping, hotel and entertainment complex which contains Ocean Terminal,
the Hong Kong Hotel Shopping Arcade, Ocean Centre,
Ocean Galleria and the Gateway. Ocean Terminal, where
cruise liners have docked since the 1960s, is a popular
two-decked shopping centre whose open rooftop provides
fine harbour views. A moving walkway glides northwards
to China Hong Kong City, an even newer shopping centre
in the China Ferry Terminal complex. The terminal
buildings are connected to Kowloon Park by a pedestrian
bridge.

Nathan Road
|
|
Named after the British Governor who
designed it, this street runs directly up
to Boundary Street, and was long
scorned as a white elephant and dubbed
"Nathan's Folly". In recent decades,
however, it has been known as the
"Golden Mile" because of the dazzling
array of brightly lit, neon-decorated
shops, hotels, restaurants and
nightspots that flank the wide
thoroughfare. This shopper's paradise
now extends much further than a mile,
stretching up to Boundary Street and
beyond.
