Venues in Wong Chuk Hang

Getting there

Wong Chuk Hang station on the South Island Line is the main stop, a few stops from Admiralty, so it is not far from the north shore of the Island or from Kowloon. The industrial area is within walking distance of the station.

Frequent buses run through the Aberdeen Tunnel to and from Causeway Bay and Wan Chai, and minibuses also link the area with the north shore. Driving through the Aberdeen Tunnel is direct, and some industrial buildings have car parks or loading bays, but check with the host first.

What venues are like here

Wong Chuk Hang is the main industrial area on the south side of the Island, and in recent years many units have become art, design and creative spaces. Most venues are in industrial buildings, with high ceilings and generous floor space; some have large windows and natural light, and fit-outs lean minimal or industrial.

You will find photo studios, workshop spaces, event spaces and party rooms. Industrial buildings have separate passenger and goods lifts, and you may wait at busy times. At night and on holidays some buildings only open a designated entrance. Few eateries open at night and at weekends, so plan food in advance.

What it's good for

• Photo and product shoots: high ceilings and open space, especially units with natural light. See Wong Chuk Hang photo studios.
• Workshops and small events: simple spaces are easy to set up for crafts, cooking demos or talks.
• Team-building: enough room for breakout activities.
• Big birthdays: more space than commercial units on the north shore.

Practical tips

• If you are bringing equipment, ask about the goods lift and power points.
• For natural light, book a daytime slot and check window positions in the venue photos.
• Few eateries are open nearby at night and at weekends, so order delivery early or bring your own food.
• Remind friends coming from Kowloon to change to the South Island Line at Admiralty.
