[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.
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.
Notable Locations: Emperor Garden, Walled City Garden, Airport Mall, Al-Sheera train station.
Notable Locations: Bullet Train for workers in Al-Sheera Arcology (to visit Kowloon City),
Municipal Building.
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.
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.
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.
● 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.
