Hong Kong Central Travel Guide
Scenic spot introduction:
Central is the heart of Hong Kong. It is not only the earliest developed area after the opening of Hong Kong Island, but also the political and commercial center of Hong Kong. It is the favorite shopping place for tourists and Hong Kong locals. As early as 1841, when the port was opened, it had been designated as a government-only area. The Governor's House, a symbol of the British Hong Kong government, was located in the center of Government Hill. Before World War II and the early post-war period, Central was already the main commercial center of Hong Kong. Today, the decision-making and power center of the SAR government, the SAR government headquarters and the Legislative Council building are also located here.The landscape of Central is a mixture of colonial architecture and modern high-tech buildings. There are both iconic old buildings in Hong Kong and the tallest buildings in Asia. These buildings constitute the beautiful and spectacular urban landscape of Hong Kong Island. . Along the foot of the mountain, there are stone streets full of Hong Kong's local colors, Gaslamp Street, which has appeared countless times in TVB dramas, the most famous Victoria Peak, and the world's longest covered escalator - Central to Mid-Levels escalator. In addition, Lan Kwai Fong, Hong Kong's first choice for nightlife, is also located in a short, narrow, L-shaped, cobbled alley between Wyndham Street and D'Aguilar Street in Central. It can be said that in Central, time is rich from morning to night.

You can "get off" in the middle and explore the unique shops and restaurants at will. Or go west along Queen's Road Central. There are many brand stores along the way.
