North Point

North Point is a mixed-use urban area in the Eastern District of Hong Kong. It is the easternmost point of Hong Kong Island, adjacent to both Causeway Bay and Quarry Bay, and projecting toward Kowloon Bay. The eastern part of Fortress Hill belongs to the western end of the North Point area.

North Point is bounded by Hing Fat Street to the west and by Mansion Street to the east, by Victoria Harbour to the north and Braemar Hill to the south.

The majority of developments in North Point are large but older high-rise buildings along the lengthy King's Road, and public housing estates along the shoreline. Just two underground railway stations away from North Point is Tin Hau.

Although Lacking large-scale shopping malls, North Point is teeming with traditional wet markets, supermarkets, restaurants, and mom-and-pop shops that offer items at unbeatable prices. So it is popular among local Chinese. The north-eastern entrance of Victoria Park, the largest park in HK, is situated at Tin Hau, and the new central public library is just across the road.

In the middle of North Point and Tin Hau just a little bit uphill is the tranquil North Point Mid-levels. There are a few large high-rise housing complexes near the wooded Choi San Woo Park. Apartments here have views of the sea or the mountains. With many local secondary schools scattering around, North Point Mid-levels is otherwise known as the socalled "elite school networks". The Chinese International School and the HK Japanese School are also located in this area at the ends of secluded roads.
