About Cha Kwo Ling
Where to stay in Cha Kwo Ling
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Cha Kwo Ling keeps almost no rooms of its own. The hill is residential ground above Victoria Harbour, so the practical choice runs east to Yau Tong, where the blocks around the Hiu Kwong Street Sports Centre hold the nearest ordinary beds. Lam Tin rises inland.
Its slopes suit you if a car and the Eastern Harbour Crossing matter more than walking distance, since the tunnel entrance opens in this area.
About Cha Kwo Ling
What are the main landmarks in Cha Kwo Ling?
The landmark record for Cha Kwo Ling runs to public sports halls rather than temples or towers. Estate blocks leave little ground spare. Inside the surrounding Kwun Tong District stand the Hiu Kwong Street Sports Centre, the Lei Yue Mun Sports Centre and the Ngau Tau Kok Road Sports Centre, each built for neighbourhoods where sport moves indoors.
Across Victoria Harbour the same list reaches the Quarry Bay Sports Centre, the Island East Sports Centre and the Sai Wan Ho Sports Centre, all of them a short drive through the Eastern Harbour Crossing, with the Tsui Lam Sports Centre further out.
What is the history of Cha Kwo Ling?
The name belongs first to the hill, and only afterwards to the ground that gathered around it. That order still shapes the place. Cha Kwo Ling lies inside New Kowloon, and the administrative map files it under Kwun Tong District, with Yau Tong on the eastern side and Lam Tin up the slope.
Tunnelling reset the balance. The northeastern entrance to the Eastern Harbour Crossing opened in this area, which put one end of a cross-harbour road route on a quiet stretch of the Victoria Harbour shore.
Where is Cha Kwo Ling?
A hill in eastern New Kowloon, Cha Kwo Ling falls away to Victoria Harbour, with Yau Tong on its eastern side and Lam Tin on the higher ground inland.
