Western Market, renovated in 1991 and converted into a shopping complex, is an Edwardian-style building featuring shops selling arts and crafts, and fabric merchants who were originally located in the old alleys of Central. Completed in 1906, the impressive building has a red brick exterior with a handsome granite arch over its entrance and attractive ‘bandaged’ brickwork. The building is actually a north block extension of a larger market complex that was in operation from the 19th century. It was built on a site formerly occupied by the Harbour Office, which moved to a larger building in Central to cope with its growing workload.

CULTURE
Originally a fishing hamlet located in the south of Taipa island, Taipa Village is now a culturally rich destination that offers an alluring blend of heritage and modernity. In sedate contrast to the glitz of the Cotai casino area, Taipa Village offers an enriching experience that inspires warm nostalgia with its mix of Portuguese and Chinese culture. Taipa Village Destination Ltd aims to inspire locals and tourists alike by promoting and preserving landmark village features such as its pastel-hued villas, colonial churches and Chinese temples. With its cobblestoned alleyways lit by twinkling street lamps winding their way through the distinctive façades of Portuguese-style shops and homes, Taipa Village is an exotic fusion of East and West and Macau’s leading destination for heritage and culture.
Taipa Houses Museum::
Considered as one of the cultural relics and heritages of the Island, the Taipa Houses-Museum comprises five distinctive green houses with the style of Portuguese architecture , featuring the “Macanese Living Museum”, the “Exhibitions Gallery”, the “Creative Casa”, the “Nostalgic House” and the “House for Reception”. In 1992, the Taipa Houses-Museum was acclaimed as one of in the top eight scenes of Macao for its outstanding beauty and important architectural value. In the old times, a large mangrove swamp was seen adjacent to the Portuguese residential complex. But today the Museum is surrounded by large-scale tourism and entertainment facilities, witnessing the rapid urban development of the island.

If retail runs through Hong Kong’s arteries, then Causeway Bay is the beating heart that keeps it going. From big-name designer brands piled atop one another in gleaming glass towers to rising stars in street style, fashion feels at home in the district. However, it’s much more than just a shopper’s paradise. Venture beyond the multitude of malls and discover an alluring enclave that’s brimming with character, Hong Kong Island’s largest public park and a rich history tied to its past as a former fishing village.
Named after the cove that it’s now built on top of, Causeway Bay’s erstwhile coastline is today marked by Tung Lo Wan Road, while landmarks including a 19th century Tin Hau temple dedicated to the Goddess of the Sea, the Noon Day Gun and a bronze statue of British monarch Queen Victoria recall the territory’s Chinese and British influences.
Now home to some of the highest retail rents in the world, the area’s eye-watering real estate has forced businesses to be creative. A little bit of vertical exploration goes a long way, independent boutiques and local eateries are often hidden away from the ground floor.
Nighttime shopping is de rigueur, and is often followed by a belated dinner and rooftop drinks. The district’s skyscrapers and hotels are perfectly positioned to provide a moment’s repose, complete with panoramic vistas of Hong Kong’s dazzling cityscape. Alternatively, low-rise, village-like Tai Hang feels worlds away, when in fact it is just a few minutes’ distance, offering welcoming neighbourhood haunts.
With crowds that can make it feel like all of Hong Kong has descended on Causeway Bay, it’s a place of contrast and contradiction, at once busy and quiet, frustrating and rewarding, it’s a microcosm of Hong Kong that makes a lasting impression.
Hysan Place is an oasis of natural light, lush greenery, high ceilings and open storefronts in the heart of hectic Causeway Bay. It has direct access to the MTR station and, more importantly for shoppers, 17 floors of hip, fun and sought-after international brands. Nearly 120 shops take you on a journey from fashion and beauty to lifestyle and culture, with many brands making a debut in Hong Kong, such as the first Eslite Bookstore outside Taiwan.
For dining, Hysan Place offers the ‘Kitchen 11’ concept, with 11 self-service restaurants on the 11th floor, as well as a wide variety of international cuisines from concept restaurants on the 12th to 14th floors.
Times Square may just be another giant shopping mall and office tower, but that doesn't stop it being a place to congregate and to explore the microcosm of Hong Kong that is Causeway Bay. With marble and glass fronted shops, high end boutiques, food courts and restaurants from around the region and the world you'll find plenty to explore within the building itself.
But go just behind the Times Square complex itself and the options branch out amazingly, go under the flyover to enter the world of the traditional Wet Market where live fish and fresh meat are sold beside vegetables, fruit and dried goods.
