Hong Kong Island, or “The Island” (Districts 15-18)

[15] Central-West
Executives and the wealthy going to and from the private lifts to Victoria Peak. Vendors peddling
soy patties and party equipment. Tourists playing virtual tennis and drones walking their dogs.
Heavy-laden trucks transporting food to the busy nightclubs. Vigilant Sakura Security agents
surveying the streets from the safety of their underwater surveillance station across the bay.

This area has profited from its proximity to the harbour western approaches, with hundreds of
cargo ships mooring there over the years. Today the area known as the Central-West District --
but usually referred to simply as "Central" -- remains Hong Kong's nerve center for banking,
business, and administration. If there is a heart of Hong Kong, it surely lies here, but few traces
of its colonial past under Queen Victoria remain. The Central District's glass and steel high-rises
represent some of Hong Kong's most innovative architecture, including some of the most posh
hotels, priciest shopping centers, and office buildings - however, Central is home to far less
people than the number which flock there daily to work.

Located directly west of Central (naturally) is the Western District. This area was the traditional
commercial center for Chinese businesses. Spreading over a large area that includes Sai Ying
Pun, Sheung Wan, and Kennedy Town, it's a fascinating neighborhood of Chinese shops and
enterprises and is one of the oldest, most traditional areas on Hong Kong Island. Many have
spent their days wandering its narrow streets and inspecting its shops’ strange herbs, ritual
medicines, rare fish & antiques. Unfortunately, modernization has taken its toll, and more of the
Old Western District seems to vanish every year, replaced by new businesses serving the
Wuxing execs on the Peak, and other municipal developments.

Notable Locations​: Victoria Peak, Lan Kwai Fong (or L-street), Fantasy Towers, SoHo, the
entrance to the Peak Tramway, numerous city and government buildings, Zhang Holdings
(which replaced the Chinese bank), Phoenix Rising (formerly Lu Pan temple), Central Station,
the Old Mental Hospital.

● Victoria Peak: Hong Kong's most famous mountaintop, Victoria Peak has long been
Hong Kong's most exclusive address, ringed by gated villas. Cooler than the steamy
streets of Central below, Victoria Peak, often called simply the Peak. The rich and
powerful hold homes here, and it is a place of privilege and cleanliness. It holds
multimillion dollar homes, nannies and butlers, and exclusive access granted by the
secured Peak Tram. It is said to afford Hong Kong's best views of Central and the
Harbour.

● Lan Kwai Fong: Named after an L-shaped street in Central, this is Hong Kong's premier
nightlife and entertainment district, occupying not only Lan Kwai Fong but also
neighboring streets like D'Aguilar, Wyndham, and other hillside streets. Filled with
restaurants and bars in all price categories, it's a melting pot for people mostly in their
20s and 30s, from bankers and yuppies to nouveau riche and homeless. The action --
whether it's in a bar with live music and standing room only or in the streets packed with
revelers -- continues till dawn. The Fantasy Towers can be seen rising prominently from
the northernmost tip of this area.

● Fantasy Towers: a pair of towers that represent all that is disparate about Sixth World
society; AR stock tickers & ads, skycabs, and hyperrails whirl overhead day and night,
while the poor starve in the streets below. Site of many offices, varying classes of
restaurants, and an all-night casino. Western tower more affluent and connected to
hyperrail station. Bambino club located on lower floors of Fantasy East. Additional detail
below.

● The Mid Levels: Located above Central on the slope of Victoria Peak, the Mid-Levels
has long been a popular residential area for Hong Kong's yuppies and expatriate
community. Its swank apartment buildings, grand sweeping views, lush vegetation, and
slightly cooler temperatures make it a much-sought-after address. To serve the army of
white-collar workers who commute down to Central every day, the world's longest
escalator links the Mid-Levels with Central, an ambitious project with 20-some escalators
and moving sidewalks (all free) stretching a half-mile (board and exit as you wish).

● SoHo and NoHo: This dining and nightlife district, flanking the Central-Mid-Levels
Escalator, is popular with area residents and those seeking a quieter, saner alternative
to the crowds of Lan Kwai Fong. Dubbed SoHo for the region "south of Hollywood
Road," it's an ever-growing neighborhood of cafe-bars and intimate restaurants
specializing in ethnic and innovative cuisine, making it one of the most exciting
destinations on Hong Kong's culinary and nightlife map. North of Hollywood road are
several nightclubs and restaurants as well, but most of the traffic remains south.

● Phoenix Rising: a possible meet location for Johnsons/Wus. A nightclub recently built
inside of an ancestral temple, which tends to piss people off; frequented by hipsters and
college kids looking for new age nightlife scenes enhanced with AR and access to BTL
drugs. The VIP booths upstairs provide a bird's eye view of the club below through a
glass floor, plus absolute digital privacy.
[16] Eastern
Once a commercial and political centre for the area, Eastern is actually in the northeastern
portion of HK Island. It's actually a terrible place to do any fishing, as Quarry Bay gradually
developed into one of the first industrial centres in Hong Kong. An area occupied by
self-sufficient community with bungalows, shops of various kinds, a hospital and several
reservoirs. Furthermore, a cable car system had been built to carry staff up the hill.

Notable Locations: Thirsty Pig, the Sugar Refinery, and the Dockyard

● Thirsty Pig: A pool hall and beer bar, whose patronage is mostly orcs and trolls. Dwarves
tend to fit in okay, but humans and elves should steer clear.

[17] Southern
It faces the Pacific Ocean, and, with an area of about 4,000 hectares, covers nearly half of the
Island's area in which Shek O, Tai Tam, Stanley, Chung Hom Kok, Repulse Bay, Wong Chuk
Hang, Aberdeen and Ap Lei Chau are all included. a desirable place for commercial, industrial
and residential development. However, most of its natural environment and original scenery
have been preserved, so the district can be regarded as a district with distinguishing features in
Hong Kong.

Notable Locations​: Victoria Peak, South Beach Arcology (Wuxing exclusive), Aberdeen

● Aberdeen: A possible meet location for Johnsons/Wus. On the south side of Hong Kong
Island, Aberdeen was once a fishing village but is now studded with high-rises and
housing projects. However, it is still known for its hundreds of sampans, junks, boat
people (the ​Boatracks​), and huge floating restaurant (the ​Cracked Oyster​). Just to the
east, in Deep Water Bay, is ​Ocean Park​, with its impressive aquarium and amusement
rides.

[18] Wan Chai


The name originally meant "small bay", was a quiet sandy bay on the northern shoreline of
Hong Kong Island. Served by a sophisticated and convenient public transportation system
including the Mass Transit Railway, buses, mini buses and trams. Notorious for its sleazy bars,
tattoo parlors, and overworked wage slaves looking for a good time, it also serves as a popular
destination for shady business deals. For those wishing to cross the Victoria Harbour, boarding
the ferry from Wan Chai Pier is also a convenient option.

Notable locations​: Hong Kong Convention Center, Times Square, the Lotus Temple, Happy
Valley Racecourse, and the Lover's Rock.
● Smoke & Lagger: A possible meet location for Johnsons/Wus. a crusty diner filled with
barflies, and frequented by those in need of their fixes in the middle of the night.
Surrounded by a number of red light businesses. Fights break out here often among
patrons and staff, and you probably have been here before to negotiate a run.

● Happy Valley: Once a swampland, Happy Valley's main claim to fame is its racetrack,
built in 1846, and nearly torn down in 2020 before its restoration -- the oldest racetrack in
Asia outside of the Ruins Raceway in China. Happy Valley Raceway is a parking garage
like building which serves as the location of many high-profile drone races, including the
Mitsuhama World Cup.

The Peninsula (Districts 10-14)

[10] Kowloon City


Sometimes called "The Food City" because of its many restaurants, Kowloon is a district with
special historical meaning in Hong Kong. It was recorded that the Sung emperor moved to the
south to escape from the Mongolian army and once stayed in the area of Kowloon City. The
huge rock in Sung Wong Toi Garden (the Terrace of the Sung Kings) is evidence of the story; a
constant astral war is going on here, and Awakened tend to avoid it for the disturbing aura it
invokes. Places of recent importance here include the semi-lawless Kowloon Walled City
Garden (the more popular of the two) and the once operational (and spectacular) Kai Tak
Airport (now a mall).

Notable Locations​: Emperor Garden, Walled City Garden, Airport Mall, Al-Sheera train station.

[11] Kwun Tong, or “Government Lakes”


One of the largest administrative districts in Hong Kong, it is situated in the eastern part of the
Kowloon Peninsula bounded by the southern range of the Kowloon Peak to the East and Lei
Yue Mun to the South. It is a mini metropolis where industrial, business and residential
developments woven. However, its old villages like Lei Yue Mun still maintain their
long-standing cultural colour. Once government-owned land for its salt beds; name literally
means "government owned lakes.”

Notable Locations​: Bullet Train for workers in Al-Sheera Arcology (to visit Kowloon City),
Municipal Building.

[12] Sham Shui Po


Numerous industrial centers are located here, dangerously close to many residential areas.
There is a large expressway which runs through here, and it is home to Shek Kip Mei, one of
the largest squatter areas. The bullet train circles overhead never even stopping on its way back
to Kwun Tong..

[13] Wong Sai Tin


The only Kowloon borough that doesn't border the water, it takes its name from the famous
Wong Tai Sin Temple. The Lion Rock Park is on its north border, and the other Kowloon
boroughs to its southeast and -west. There are several vacant housing facilities, an unfinished
arcology frame built by Evo, and a destitute area - known as a bad part of town for decades.

[14] Yau Tsim Mong


..is a treasure-house of arts and culture. With the establishment of the Hong Kong Cultural
Centre, the Hong Kong Museum of Art, the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Yau Ma Tei
Community Centre Rest Garden, together with the West Kowloon Cultural District, Yau Tsim
Mong District has also become an important international and local cultural, educational and
recreational centre in the territory.

Notable locations​: The Temple Street Night Market thrives on drug trade. Meanwhile, a total of
roughly 60 historical buildings in Yau Tsim Mong District are graded by the Antiquities Advisory
Board. 6 of them – the former Kowloon British School, the former Kowloon-Canton Railway
Terminus Clock Tower, the former Marine Police Headquarters Compound, the Hong Kong
Observatory, Tung Wah Museum and the Signal Tower at Blackhead Point – have been
classified as declared monuments which are under the protection of the Wuxing corporation.

The Mainland and Outer Islands (Districts 1-10)

[1] The Islands


Not to be confused with ​the Island (referring to Hong Kong Island) this is actually the less
populated and least popular of the coastal areas across the district. These areas (Cheung
Chau, Tai O and Po Toi) used to be fishermen's enclaves. Though some of them have
developed into dormitory towns, fishing and its related ancillaries have sprung up: boatyards,
fish-farms, net-making, shrimp paste manufacture and fish-curing are still important lines of
business in those areas.

Given its predominant rural character, the district provides a wealth of Chinese traditions and
festivals that give colors to the local communities and insight into old Chinese customs. The
district is also treasured in terms of its archaeological finds. An abundance of relics found in
archaeological sites over Lantau, Lamma and Cheung Chau have opened up views into the
distant past of Hong Kong as a coastal settlement and center of magical power.

● Salty Fish Tavern: A possible meet location for Johnsons/Wus. Out by the airport. A
shanty of a venue, perched on the northern bay. Wild Jack is the bartender, an old man
with a cybernetic eye, and low-grade hand replacement. He will forget your face, for a
price. The clientele is mostly naval academy students, ship personnel, and drunks
looking for old timer war stories and weekly gambling games.

[2] Kwai Tsing


Situated in the southwest New Territories. The Kwai Tsing Container Terminals can be found on
the eastern bay, near the Theatre of the same name. Maritime Square is on the western bit of
land across a short bridge, and a variety of high-rise music arenas surround it. On the mainland
it is crowded with commercial buildings. There is a bullet train station here, which connects to
the arts and culture district in section 14.

[3] North District


...touches the northern boundary of Hong Kong. It is separated from Shenzhen by a river and
three of the checkpoints leading to China. Mostly rural area, with features of old and new Hong
Kong. There are numerous ancestral temples which dot the four subdistricts.

[4] Sai Kung


...is made up of the Sai Kung rural areas, Hang Hau, Tseung Kwan O New Town and over 70
islands of different sizes. the "back garden of Hong Kong", and where the Hong Kong National
Geopark is located. Specialty restaurants galore, boat travel sometimes required to reach the
many islands.

[5] Sha Tin


Covering an area of 140,000 square metres, the New Town Plaza is the focal shopping, eating
and recreation point in Sha Tin. A trip to Sha Tin should not omit the Lions Pavilion. There you
may view the whole Sha Tin new town. You may also go to the Che Kung Temple to make a
wish. Rapidly developed from a rural town, it is a modernized residential and commercial area in
which lies the University of Hong Kong & Art museum, and the Raceway. The Sha Tin Raceway
is a gambling den where rigged prisoners engage each other in hot-sim races with armed
drones. Biofeedback guaranteed or your money back.
[6] Tai Po
The "filial son temple", the Tai Po Tau Village, and a marketplace were built by the Tang
dynasty. The area is set up on a plain north of the Lam Tsuen River. Some of the tranquillity of
its traditional villages has been preserved and coexist in harmony with the high-rise buildings of
the bustling new town.

[7] Tsuen Wan


The name of Tsuen Wan comes from the much earlier name "Chien Wan", which means
"Shallow Bay". An industrialized area, home to Nina Tower, Citywalk, and Yuen Yuen Institute, it
is part mainland, and part island. The Shing Mun Reservoir takes care of the water for this and
surrounding areas. It is bounded by Wo Yi Hop Road and Texaco Road to the east.

The district’s northern edge runs along the remnants of a state park, which is part of the hilly
areas of Tai Mo Shan. Its coastline provides a natural boundary to the south, but Ma Wan Island
and northeast Lantau are also part of the Tsuen Wan district.

Notable Locations: Onyplex, Go Juice

● The Onyplex: a large, domed theme park with people in animal suits to guard the area.
Also the site of world-renowned trideo and VR experience studio that is built to the south
- between it and the airport.
● Go Juice: A possible meet location for Johnsons/Wus. Seedy coffeeshop on the way to
the Airport. Nestled in a bath of shrimpy air and the sound of lapping waves. The female
owner looks eastern, and is bubbly. She has drones that prepare and bring you real
coffee, but their food is all fried soy junk. The clientele are mostly disillusioned factory
workers, and those of ill repute.

[8] Tuen Mun


Located in the northwestern part of the New Territories, it has the longest history among other
places in Hong Kong. Several dynasties have temples here, and the Pearl River Delta houses
several Wuxing military bases. Not only is it one of the most populated areas in HK, Lingnan
University and the Dunkelzahn Institute are located here, as well as the Emperor's Cave.

[9]: Yuen Long


A large alluvial plain with three sides surrounded by hills. You can find temples, parks, the Mai
Po Nature Reserve near the Chinese border, and the Yam Tin Treehouse further into HK from
that. Paracritters sometimes terrorize those who go too close to the border, but the Yuen Long
Old Market is known for its wide selection of shaman wares.
● Old Market: A possible meet location for Johnsons/Wus. A low-lying area with dealers of
strange spices, talisleggers, cyberware and oddities brokers.

A Run in Fantasy Towers


Scene​: Located in Central-West district
(see above). Two towers connected by
a bridge near the top, and across its
lower three floors. A taller tower, 15
floors, and a shorter tower, 12 floors. A
wavy exterior of glass and steel with
sleek lines. Landing or departing
SkyCabs whisking people to or from the
place. A hyperrail track slopes away
from one corner of the 2nd floor. A
series of interlinked glass plates which
connect the towers to one another in a
rare building bridge. Partygoers milling
about or striding past intoxicated.

The glass construction continues


across the connecting floors of each
tower, and a neon lit casino sign sits
atop the whole thing (in AR too, but way gaudier). At night, the glass floor and walls are lit from
within with colored tubing that scintillate in shifting hues; this is visible from most vantage points
along the street. Robed guests heading to the pools or bathhouses in the basement, third, or
tenth floor (the Bridge level). Suited men with shades standing in the hallways outside rooms.
Drones designed to greet, entertain, carry luggage, give directions, and accept payment.

Floor detail, if you need it.

● Basement 1: Employee Parking and Bathhouse.


● Ground level: Vehicle Check-in, Lobby, and Dining (such as Smoke and Lagger).
● 2, 3: Vehicle Storage. Automated check in at bottom floor.
● 4-8: Offices. Probably set aside for the money-laundering fronts of whatever criminal
organization is pulling the strings in Fantasy Towers ​this y​ ear.
● 9-10: Bridge/Casino Level. A two-floor casino area with all the latest virtual gambling
methods.
● 11-12: Hotel Rooms. Swanky expensive rooms with completely automated attendants.
● 13-14: Dining and Entertainment (such as Rooftop Fantasy) and Entertainment (such as

● Basement 1: Employee Parking.


● Ground level: Lobby, Car Rental.

blood-stained and frequently repainted floor.
● 5: Offices. Seedy financier offices and call center automation.
● 6-9: Hotel Rooms. Cheap rooms rentable by the hour.
● 10: Bridge/Casino Level. Clientele in the east casino tend to be less affluent than their
western counterparts.
● 11-12: Dining. Inexpensive hot “food” for inflated prices. These restaurants are crammed
to feature their sliver of the views they’ve been afforded to the channel and both bridges
between the Island and the mainland.
