Description

The future meets the past in Hong Kong and nowhere can you see this more clearly than in the Central district. You'll walk among historic buildings that are nestled amid stunning skyscrapers, uncovering layers of stories and learn how these influenced modern architecture. The heart of Hong Kong city, the Central district, has been developing since inception of British rule in 1841. Western-style buildings sprang up as the city grew prosperously and the early 20th century saw Hong Kong develop into a metropolis. Extensive reclamations extending the waterfront and development projects were carried out during different periods and although the outlook of the city is ever changing, many historical buildings and structures still survive as standing testimony to the history of this amazing territory.
