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.

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.
Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
