Queen's Pier, demolished public ceremonial pier in Hong Kong
Queen's Pier is a historic landing structure in the Central and Western District of Hong Kong, designated as a Grade I historic building. The dock once served as a major point for ferry traffic and official receptions before its demolition in the 2000s.
The landing was built during the Victorian era and became a central element of British colonial administration in Hong Kong. It shaped the harbor life for over a century until urban development plans led to its removal.
The site is no longer accessible as it was completely demolished and exists only in historical records and photographs. Visitors interested in its history can learn more through local museums and archives that document its role in the city.
The pier was where British monarchs and high-ranking diplomats arrived and first saw Hong Kong when stepping ashore. Its demolition in 2007 sparked intense public debate and raised discussions about how the city treats its colonial past.
