Butterfly On Morrison - Exploring Hong Kong

Here are some of the major sight-seeing attractions on Hong Kong Island. All are easily accessible from Butterfly On Morrison.

Golden Bauhinia Square and Flag Raising Ceremony
Outside Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre

The Expo Promenade (also known as Golden Bauhinia Square) on Wanchai waterfront marks the most significant occasion in Hong Kong’s history. The “Forever Blooming Bauhinia” Sculpture (Golden Bauhinia) is a gift from the People’s Republic of China to mark the return of the territory to the Motherland in June 1997. Catch the official daily flag-raising at the Golden Bauhinia Square. Daily (except first day of each month) 7:50am - 8:03am.

Happy Valley Racecourse - Hong Kong Jockey Club
A few minutes walk from Butterfly On Morrison

Horseracing is Hong Kong’s favourite sport. From September to June/July, on every Wednesday evening and weekend you can view ‘the sport of Kings’ at one of the world’s most famous and richest racetracks.

At Happy Valley Racecourse, you’ll also find The HK Racing Museum. The museum traces the sport’s history from the 1840’s to the state-of-the-art horse racing of today.

The Peak
You’ll be amazed by the spectacular view of the city skyline, the world-famous Victoria Harbour and Kowloon, towering skyscrapers and peaceful green hillsides. Getting up to the peak by the famous peak tram is a truly memorable experience. The tram climbs 373 metres (about 1,200 feet). It’s so steep that the buildings you pass look like they’re leaning at a 45°angle! A must-see!

A Symphony of Lights
Nightly at 8.00pm on the harbour.

This spectacular multimedia display, already named the “World’s Largest Permanent Light and Sound Show” by Guinness World Records includes more than 40 buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour. Best viewing point near the hotel is at Golden Bauhinia Square.

Star Ferry
One of the most memorable and scenic boat trips you can take, the Star Ferry has been transporting passengers between Hong Kong Island and Kowloon for more than a century. For only HKD2.20, you can enjoy a seven-minute ride across the world famous Victoria Harbour.

South Side – beaches and shopping
A scenic bus ride takes you to Repulse Bay and other picturesque beaches on the south side of Hong Kong Island and the famous Stanley Market.

Cat Street markets
For authentic Chinese antiques and souvenirs, please visit this enclave of old Hong Kong. Just below Hollywood Road.

Soho & Lan Kwai Fong
A smorgasbord of restaurants featuring cuisines from all over the world. Just above Central. SoHo stands for south of Hollywood Road.

Wanchai nightlife
The ‘World of Suzie Wong’ - bars, nightclubs and restaurants. A night to remember!
