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.

These buildings constitute the beautiful and spectacular urban landscape of Hong Kong Island. .
