Next to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is the "Golden Bauhinia Square". There is a huge sculpture of a bauhinia, which is the representative flower of Hong Kong, in the square. This is a popular tourist spot in Hong Kong for mainland visitors and also the location of the flag-raising ceremony which occurs daily and in a special form on Chinese National Day and other occasions.
Skyscrapers include:
- Central Plaza, the third tallest skyscraper in Hong Kong, located in Wan Chai North
- Hopewell Centre
The Old Wanchai Post Office is a declared monument. There is also a Police Museum near the junction of Stubbs Road and Peak Road.
At the Stubbs Road Lookout, scenery of the Victoria Harbour can be seen. The famous Lovers' Stone is located on Bowen Road, which is also a nice place for scenery.
