Introduction
The Wan Chai District (Chinese: 灣仔區, literally "Cove District") is one of the 18 districts of Hong Kong, located in the north of Hong Kong island. It had a population of 167,146 in 2001. The district has the second most educated residents with the highest income, the second lowest population and the third oldest residents, and is also the only district without any public housing estates. It is also affluent, with one in five persons having liquid assets of more than 1 million HKD.
History
The ceremony of the handover of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China was performed in the new wing of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition centre in Wan Chai North.
In May 2009, 300 guests and staff members at the Metropark Hotel Wanchai in Wan Chai were quarantined, suspected of being infected or in contact with the H1N1 virus during the 2009 swine flu outbreak. A 25 year old Mexican man who had stayed at the hotel was later found to have the viral infection. He had traveled to Hong Kong from Mexico via Shanghai.
Geography
The area known as "Wan Chai" often includes the area surrounding Tonnochy Road and the MTR station of the same name, which is located between Admiralty on the west and Causeway Bay on the east. "Wan Chai North", where the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre is located, refers to the area north of Gloucester Road, reclaimed from the sea after the 1970s. It is a cluster of high rise office towers and hotels.
The broader administrative "Wan Chai District" includes the areas of Wan Chai, Wan Chai North, Causeway Bay, Happy Valley, Jardine's Lookout, Stubbs Road, Wong Nai Chung Gap and Tai Hang.
