About Wong Chuk Hang
Where to stay in Wong Chuk Hang
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Hotel stock here is thin. Wong Chuk Hang belongs to the Southern District, a working part of Hong Kong Island where a bed is more likely to sit over a street of small businesses than on any hotel row. Rooms near the Wong Chuk Hang Sports Centre keep the neighbourhood's own hall and its name at the door.
Aberdeen Sports Centre and the Aberdeen Tennis and Squash Centre stand within the same short reach, and Ap Lei Chau Sports Centre is counted with them. Wong Nai Chung Sports Centre marks the outer edge.
About Wong Chuk Hang
What are the main landmarks in Wong Chuk Hang?
The landmarks here are public halls, not monuments. Wong Chuk Hang Sports Centre carries the neighbourhood's name over its doors, while Aberdeen Sports Centre and the Aberdeen Tennis and Squash Centre add a gym and indoor courts a little further along the Southern District. Three more halls are counted with them across this end of Hong Kong Island.
Ap Lei Chau Sports Centre, Wong Nai Chung Sports Centre and Yue Kwong Road Sports Centre complete the list.
What is the history of Wong Chuk Hang?
Wong Chuk Hang entered the map of Hong Kong as one of the named neighbourhoods of the Southern District, the stretch of Hong Kong Island given that name. Monuments were never the point.

Yue Kwong Road Sports Centre carries a street name into the same list.
