Nathan Road
What the experts agree on
Nathan Road is Hong Kong's iconic main drag, packed with shopping and hotels especially in the "Golden Mile" south end, though the central stretch gets chaotic with crowds and traffic. Head north for quieter colonial charm and Kowloon Park instead.
“The famous Kowloon road... with hotels, restaurants, shopping malls, and boutiques—retail space is so costly that that the southern end is dubbed the Golden Mile.”
