Central (Chinese: 中環), or Central District, is Hong Kong’s financial core, strategically located on the northern shore of Hong Kong Island, directly across from Kowloon’s Tsim Sha Tsui. Once the heart of Victoria City, this district has evolved from a colonial trade hub into a global center of finance and governance. Today, it houses the headquarters of major multinational corporations, foreign consulates, and the former government headquarters at Government Hill. Its prime location by Victoria Harbour has long anchored it as the epicenter of Hong Kong’s economic activities, continuing to thrive even after the 1997 handover to China. Source: exp.is
