Where to stay in Tin Wan
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Beds are scarce on these streets. Aberdeen, immediately east, carries most of what passes for accommodation at this end of Hong Kong Island, and a room there leaves Tin Wan within a walk along the shore. Kellett Bay and the Wah Fu Estate close the western side, where housing blocks rather than hotels fill the slope.
Guests who plan their days around courts and pools can weigh the Aberdeen Sports Centre against the Ap Lei Chau Sports Centre. Neither is far.

About Tin Wan
What are the main landmarks in Tin Wan?

What is the history of Tin Wan?

Public halls followed. The Yue Kwong Road Sports Centre and the Aberdeen Sports Centre stand for that later civic building rather than for anything older.
