Central, Financial district in Central and Western District, Hong Kong
Central district contains numerous skyscrapers housing international banks, financial institutions, and corporate headquarters along the northern shore of Hong Kong Island.
The area emerged as a commercial center after British colonization in 1841, transforming from a military post into Hong Kong's primary business district.
The district combines traditional Chinese markets with modern financial architecture, featuring landmarks like the Bank of China Tower and HSBC Building.
The Central-Mid-Levels escalator system connects the district's lower sections to residential areas, operating downhill during morning hours and uphill in evenings.
The district maintains the world's highest concentration of banking institutions, with over 70 of the largest 100 banks operating offices in the area.
