Old Town Central is the name for a compact neighborhood in the Central District of Hong Kong Island. Bounded by Wyndham Street to the east, Caine Road to the south, Possession Street to the west and Queen’s Road Central to the north with Hollywood Road in the shape of a rectangle that spans from east to west.

The area is packed with heritage sites, landmarks, historic architecture, religious buildings, designer boutiques, shops carrying all sorts of merchandises, and dining and entertainment outlets. It reflects the evolution of Hong Kong from a fishing village to a British colony to a metropolitan city.

OTC is truly a chronicle of how heritage, art, lifestyle, dining and entertainment evolved in the city. The abundant treasures reflect the contrast between old and new, heritage and creativity, traditional and contemporary, and East and West.
