Statue Square, square in Hong Kong

Statue Square is a pedestrian square in Central built entirely on land reclaimed by the Praya Reclamation Scheme at the end of the 19th century. Chater Road divides it into a northern and a southern section, bounded by Connaught Road Central to the north and Des Voeux Road Central to the south. Its 1960s redesign by architect Alan Fitch added a fountain, a pavilion and greenery in a Bauhaus-influenced style.

The square was created in the late 1800s on reclaimed land to display statues of British royalty and important figures from that era. During World War II, many statues were removed by Japanese occupation forces, though some were restored after the war ended.

The name is a mistranslation: officials rendered "Queen" as 皇后 (empress), so the square is called Empress' Statue Square. Since the 1980s thousands of Filipina domestic workers have gathered here and along Chater Road every Sunday, their rest day; Chater Road becomes pedestrian-only, and Indonesian helpers meet in Victoria Park instead. Since 2003 the square has hosted the Hong Kong WinterFest each December, with a Santa Claus village modelled on Finland's and the city's tallest outdoor Christmas tree.

The square is split by Chater Road into a northern and a southern section, with Connaught Road Central at the north end and Des Voeux Road Central at the south. Exit K of MTR Central station opens directly into the square through a grey granite-clad entrance. The site has been smoke-free since the smoking ban took effect on 1 January 2007.

The statue of Sir Thomas Jackson stands as one of the few remaining monuments and reminds visitors of HSBC's central role in Hong Kong's development. The Greek goddess Themis perched on the Court of Final Appeal building nearby further symbolizes justice and fairness in the city.
