Sai Ying Pun 西營盤 is a neighbourhood on the northwestern part of Hong Kong Island. It is located to the east of Shek Tong Tsui and Kennedy Town, to the west of Sheung Wan, and to the north of Mid-levels.

Sai Ying Pun means "western military base". It got its name from the British military installation that was once located there. Queen's Road, named after Queen Victoria, was the first road through the neighbourhood. Since then, the area has become densely developed, with high rise apartments and flats standing close to one another.

How to go to Sai Ying Pun

As this neighbourhood is not yet served by the MTR, you can get there by taking the bus or the tram. The Hong Kong Tramway runs along Des Voeux Road West. From Kowloon, take the Western Harbour Tunnel to reach Sai Ying Pun.

The MTR Island Line has been proposed to be extended to Kennedy Town, with intermediate stations at Sai Ying Pun and University. This might not materialize earlier than 2014.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
