Pacific Place

Pacific Place was the largest and most ambitious commercial project to hit Central when it opened more than 20 years ago; in fact, it shifted the city center toward the east. With the opening of Hong Kong Station and the ifc mall to the west, however, Pacific Place is no longer the center of attention. In fact, I find it rather dull, no different from the generic malls you encounter all over the world and certainly less compelling than Hong Kong's swankier, newer malls. If you're staying in one of Pacific Place's four hotels, however, you'll definitely want to take a spin through here, with approximately 200 shops selling every well-known brand and two major department stores (Lane Crawford and Seibu).
