Geographically, Wan Chai is the crossing point between the Central and Western District ([[West Point, Hong Kong|West Point]]/[[Central, Hong Kong|Central]]), and the Eastern ([[Causeway Bay]]/[[North Point]]) district. Its thoroughfares connect the main developed areas along the northern coast of [[Hong Kong Island]]. The [[Transport in Hong Kong|transport infrastructure]] is efficient, convenient and highly accessible.

* [[Mass Transit Railway]] (MTR)
** [[Wan Chai station]] on the [[Island line (MTR)|Island line]], trains run between Kennedy Town and Chai Wan (north-eastern part of Hong Kong Island)
** [[Exhibition Centre station (MTR)|Exhibition Centre station]] on the [[East Rail line]], trains run between Admiralty and Lo Wu/Lok Ma Chau border crossings
* [[Hong Kong Tram|Trams]] run between Kennedy Town and Shau Kei Wan (north-eastern part of Hong Kong Island)
* Buses travel along thoroughfares such as Gloucester Road and Hennessy Road, with destinations as different parts of Hong Kong
* Ferry services from [[Wan Chai Pier]] to Tsim Sha Tsui in Kowloon, across the [[Victoria Harbour]]

===Ferries===
The [[Star Ferry]] at [[Wan Chai Pier]] is the sole ferry operator in the area. Frequent services cross the [[Victoria Harbour]] from [[Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre|HKCEC]], Wan Chai to the [[Hong Kong Cultural Centre|Cultural Centre]] in [[Tsim Sha Tsui]]. In light of more convenient and competitive cross-harbour public transportation, the Star Ferry continues to provide an inexpensive option to local commuters. Numerous shipping companies, such as the [[Anglo-Eastern Group]], also have their headquarters in Wan Chai.

===Main roads and tunnels===
[[Image:Gloucester Road.JPG|thumb|[[Gloucester Road, Hong Kong|Gloucester Road]] in Wan Chai]]
Wan Chai's [[Gloucester Road, Hong Kong|Gloucester Road]], an east–west trunk route along the northern coast, is connected to [[Cross-Harbour Tunnel]], the first undersea tunnel in Hong Kong. This tunnel is connected to the south by a direct viaduct from its landing point on Hong Kong Island to the [[Aberdeen Tunnel]] towards the southern coast.<ref>Bray, Denis. [2001] (2001). Hong Kong Metamorphosis. Hong Kong University Press. {{ISBN|962-209-550-X}}.</ref> Connecting [[Hong Kong Island]] at [[Kellett Island]] (the site of the Royal Navy Club) to a reclaimed site at [[Hung Hom Bay]] in [[Kowloon]], this tunnel provides a direct link by road. Prior to the tunnel's opening in 1972, local drivers and pedestrians depended solely upon the Star Ferry services to cross the [[Victoria Harbour]].<ref>Harper, Damian. [2005] (2005). China. Lonely Planet. {{ISBN|1-74059-687-0}}</ref> Linking the main financial districts on both sides of Victoria Harbour, the tunnel carries 123,000 vehicles daily.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gov.hk/en/about/abouthk/factsheets/docs/transport.pdf|title=Hong Kong, the Facts transport|publisher=Hong Kong government|date=1 April 2007|access-date=28 August 2007}}</ref> On the other hand, the thoroughfare [[Queen's Road East]], an extension from Queen's Road West at Kennedy Town, through Queen's Road Central at Central, Queensway at Admiralty, takes a southerly route to provide an alternative east–west road link. Due to Wan Chai's early involvement in the British colonial administration, road names were often taken from previous [[Governor of Hong Kong|Governors]], such as [[Hennessy Road]], and notable people (Gloucester Road, Jaffe Road, Lockhart Road, Johnston Road, Fleming Road, Luard Road, O'Brien Road, Marsh Road, Stewart Road, McGregor Street, etc.).

===Mass Transit Railway===

*[[Island line (MTR)|Island line]] – [[Wan Chai station|Wan Chai]]

The [[MTR]] [[Island line (MTR)|Island line]] runs beneath [[Hennessy Road]], a thoroughfare, in the locality. Due to the large size of Wan Chai, more than 50 entry/exit gates and 8 entrances/exits are set up. An extension project was carried out in the early 2000s; it created two additional entrances/exits, one of which connects to the footbridge network from the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Centre to the station. Then this footbridge is also interconnected with covered corridor of buildings along the Victoria Harbour, and ends up at Wan Chai Pier.

*[[East Rail line]] - [[Exhibition Centre station (MTR)|Exhibition Centre]]

The [[East Rail line]] was extended from [[Hung Hom station|Hung Hom]] to [[Admiralty station (MTR)|Admiralty]] in 2022 as part of the [[Shatin to Central Link]] project, with a newly built station near the Hong Kong Exhibition and Convention Centre. Its exits connect to the footbridge network in Wan Chai North which also leads back to Wan Chai station.

===Trams===
Tram services run between [[Shau Kei Wan]] on the northeastern part of the island and [[Kennedy Town]] on the west, with a circular branch serving [[Happy Valley, Hong Kong|Happy Valley]] and the Happy Valley Racecourse. The tram route runs across [[Johnston Road]] and [[Hennessy Road]].

===Buses===

Most buses travel in Wan Chai from [[British Admiralty|Admiralty]] to [[Causeway Bay]] via [[Hennessy Road]] or, in the opposite direction, [[Johnston Road]] and Gloucester Road.

===Taxis===
[[Taxicabs of Hong Kong|Red taxi]] (urban) services are available to hire in Wan Chai. These can be pre-booked by telephone; however, hailing on the street is a more common way of getting a taxicab. Vehicles that carry a green plate at the front of their cars are able to carry passengers across the [[Victoria Harbour]] to Kowloon. There are, however, areas with restricted [[Curb (road)|kerb]]s and designated pick-up and drop-off points in the area.

===Minibus===
There are two types of [[Public light bus|minibus]]es in Wan Chai, the green minibus and the red minibus. In general, green minibuses operate on scheduled service with fixed routes and published fares. Red minibuses run with government licence but on non-scheduled services, casually connecting regular travellers and commuters to specific urban areas across [[Hong Kong Island]]. Drivers of red minibuses will display fares in the front of their minibus windshields.
