Upon my latest visit to Lee Tung Avenue, I was delighted to find that it deserves more than just a five-star rating. This vibrant and elegantly arranged avenue offered a blend of cultural charm and modern luxury, providing a unique shopping and dining experience that far exceeded my expectations. One of the highlights of my visit was the Passion Cafe. This gem of a spot truly deserves a special mention for its exquisite offerings. The pastries, bakeries, salads, and pies were not only a feast for the senses but also crafted with a level of passion and excellence that is hard to find these days. Each item served was a masterpiece, combining the finest ingredients with culinary expertise. Whether you're a local or just passing through, stopping by Passion Cafe is a must for anyone who appreciates the finer things in life. Adding to the allure of Lee Tung Avenue was the exhibition of Elon Musk’s latest creation, the Tesla Cybertruck. Situated right in the heart of the avenue, this electric marvel looked like it was plucked straight out of a science fiction movie. The futuristic design and innovative features of the Cybertruck were absolutely astounding, making it a true spectacle for tech enthusiasts and casual onlookers alike. Seeing this electric vehicle in person was a surreal experience and a testament to the avenue's commitment to showcasing cutting-edge technology and design. Lee Tung Avenue has not just created a space but an experience - blending gastronomic delights with technological marvels, all while maintaining a warm and welcoming atmosphere. It’s a place where tradition meets innovation, and where every visit leaves you eager for the next. If you find yourself in the area, do not miss the chance to explore Lee Tung Avenue. You will not be disappointed.

Lee Tung Avenue (利東街）, located in Wan Chai District (灣仔）between Johnston Road in the north and Queen's Road East in the south. Also known as Wedding Card Street (囍帖街) by locals, is the site of four residential buildings and a three-story shopping mall comprising the basement, the first floor and approximately 40 stalls. Most printing stores on Wedding Card Street print miscellaneous wedding cards, red packets (紅包), and fai chun (揮春) (a traditional decoration used during the Spring Festival (春節) to create a jubilant festive atmosphere). As part of an Urban Renewal Authority (URA) project, all interests of Lee Tung Street were resumed by and reverted to the Government of Hong Kong from November 2005, and subsequently demolished in December 2007. The site was redeveloped as a luxury shopping and housing development. And since then, Lee Tung Avenue not only serves as a hub of wedding supplies, has drawn a variety of shops. Along the rehabilitated Lee Tung Avenue with a total length of approximately 200 metres, there is a European-style pedestrian shopping street, sidewalk cafes, featured foreign restaurants, such as the Japanese dessert restaurant, time-honoured Hong Kong-style noodle restaurant, and the Vietnamese restaurant with Western characteristics, a European-style arch bridge, and a shopping mall named after Lee Tung Avenue, which gathered featured streetwear brands from all over the world. To get to Lee Tung Avenue, you can take the MTR, bus, mini-bus, tram, and taxi. MTR Metro: Use the Island Line, get off at Wan Chai MTR Station Exit D. HK Island Bus: Take No. 6, 6A, 6X, 10, 15, 66.

Lee Tung Avenue is outdoor leisure and shopping street that opened up a few years back in Wan Chai. There are a couple restaurants like LPQ and Passion that open early for breakfast. Most shops opening hours are generally 10am to around 10pm daily. Historically, the Lee Tung Avenue was a hub for local printing businesses and newspapers. Those days are long past. Now the area has been redeveloped into a themed Avenue with shops and eateries. In short, what you find is similar to the themed shopping areas of Macau's casino and hotels along the Cotai Strip. The Avenue resembles, in perhaps a Disney like way, a western avenue or boulevard lined with trees and park benches with a handful of sculptures of playing children spread throughout. It is cute, fun and certainly different than than our endless indoor malls and centres around the city. As noted above, there is a very good Passion by Gerard Dubois (Swiss style bakery) and a promising Le Pain Quotidien (Belgian bakery/cafe franchise) at Avenue. Coffee shops, bars, gelato and cake shops as well as a few retail shops and western style supermarket (basement level) are also to be found at The Avenue. It is early days for the businesses here so expect some turnover over the next couple of years as they settle. In the future ,there will be an underground passage linking The Avenue (basement level) directly to the Wan Chai MTR station. This access point is presently under construction.

During Chinese New Year, Lee Tung Avenue transforms into a vibrant spectacle, adorned with an array of beautifully crafted lanterns that illuminate the streets in a warm, inviting glow. As you stroll along the avenue, the sight of these lanterns hanging gracefully from above creates a canopy of color and light, reminiscent of a magical festival. Each lantern is intricately designed, showcasing traditional motifs such as dragons, phoenixes, and floral patterns, all painted in rich reds, golds, and greens that symbolize prosperity and good fortune. The lanterns vary in size and shape, some resembling delicate blossoms while others take on majestic forms, swaying gently with the breeze. As night falls, the lanterns come to life, casting a soft, enchanting light that dances across the cobblestone pathways. The air is filled with the scent of festive delicacies from nearby stalls, enhancing the sensory experience. Families and friends gather, taking photos under the glowing lanterns, their laughter and chatter blending with the festive atmosphere. This stunning display not only celebrates the Chinese New Year but also creates a sense of community and joy, making Lee Tung Avenue a must-visit destination during the festivities. The beauty of the lanterns serves as a reminder of cultural heritage and the warmth of togetherness during this special time of year.

Randomly discovered 利東街 aka Lee Tung Avenue because the Wan Chai MTR station is conveniently located right underneath lol. Like everyone said, this street is where the East meets West; it is definitely more luxurious, with many high end shops and restaurants, after a controversial redevelopment by the government since 2003. I was hoping to see the signature rows of red lanterns on this street, but they took it down for the winter holiday, and it's all Christmas decor right now! This street is usually filled with excitement; many come here to take selfies with the decor, and to check out the many restaurants and shops. There is Japanese ramen, Chinese noodles, French cuisine, egg tarts, coffee shops, and many more! Connecting to the MTR station right underneath Lee Tung Avenue, you will also find an underground pathway with a grocery store, and plenty of local shops for beauty, jewellery and baked goods! Psst, a NEW popcorn shop just grand opened, and it makes the pathway smells extra, extra sweet, and you just want to stop by to buy some lol ^^

Picturesque Lee Tung Street is a local landmark. Formerly known as “Wedding Street” because of the printing shops of wedding invitations that used to be located here before its transformation into a glitzy residential area. It is probably one of the most photographed streets in Hong Kong because of the pretty themed festive lanterns that adorn the street’s skyline, like London’s Oxford Street. The street is paved with shops, restaurants, cafes and bars on the ground and basement levels and is a magnet for tourists and locals, including Filipino and Indonesian helpers and dog lovers because it is dog friendly. There is even a garden on the podium of one of the blocks that is open to the public, including dogs (but closed during Covid). Avoid the weekends if you want to get the best IG shots! 🐶 🐕 🐩 dog-friendly 🚗 Free parking on minimum spending of $150
