Lan Kwai Fong is a small
part of the Central district that is becoming increasingly well known
for its restaurants and nightlife. Located to the west of the Landmark
shopping complex, it centers on D'Aguilar Street and Lan Kwai Fong Lane.
D'Aguilar Street was once known for its flower market that was moved
here from nearby Wyndham Street, formerly called the 'Street of Flowers'.
It was on Wyndham Street that Hong Kong's first English-language newspaper
began publishing in 1845, earning it the nickname 'Fleet Street in Miniature'.
The Foreign Correspondents' Club still occupies the early 20th-century
Old Dairy Farm Building at the top of the street.
